A scanning services company will either come to your premises if you prefer, or they can take your documents away, using secure, fully insured couriers. However, it does require some re thinking of working practices and you'll need to make sure all staff are on board and understand what's expected of them.

The company will discuss with you how you'd like to be able to search for documents. This is greener, tidier and reduces costs and wasted time. Scanning services firms can even handle poor quality photocopies, staples, hole punched items, coloured paper, handwriting and more. Document scanning services are a good way to minimise paper use in your office. Almost any type of paper document from your business can be scanned, including invoices, correspondence, tax papers, invoices, receipts, drawings and more. Indexing After your papers have been scanned, they will be electronically indexed, based on your requirements.

Paper clips, staples and other binders will all be manually removed and your papers will be carefully kept in the correct order.  Client name  Code  Document type  Anything else you choose Sometimes, following discussions with you a scanning services company can securely dispose of unwanted paper documents.
