Document Scanning Services in Dorset

Take Control of Your Paperwork with Professional Document Scanning

Is paperwork slowing your business down? From filing cabinets full of old records to archive boxes taking up valuable storage space, managing paper documents can become an unnecessary burden.

ProScan provides professional document scanning and digitisation services throughout Dorset, helping businesses and organisations convert physical paperwork into organised, searchable digital information.

Whether you're looking to modernise your office filing system, digitise years of business records or undertake a large-scale archive scanning project, we offer flexible solutions designed around your requirements.

We specialise in high-volume document scanning for businesses, but also welcome smaller projects from sole traders, private customers and individuals who need just a few documents scanned.

Business Document Scanning – Work Smarter, Not Harder

Paper-based document management can take up valuable time and resources. Searching for contracts, retrieving old invoices or locating employee records can become frustrating when information is spread across filing cabinets, folders and archive boxes.

Our business document scanning services help Dorset organisations move towards more efficient digital working.

We can scan a wide range of business documents, including:

General office paperwork and correspondence
HR files and employee personnel records
Financial documents, invoices and accounting records
Contracts, legal paperwork and property files
Customer records and confidential business documents
Manufacturing, engineering and technical documentation
A3 plans, drawings and architectural documents
Historical business archives and stored records
Books, bound publications and specialist materials

Documents can be converted into digital formats including PDF, PDF/A, TIFF and JPEG, with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) available to make files searchable.

Bulk Document Scanning & Archive Digitisation

For businesses with hundreds or thousands of documents, bulk scanning provides a practical way to replace physical filing systems with organised digital records.

ProScan handles large-scale document digitisation projects, helping organisations reduce their reliance on paper storage and improve access to important information.

Our archive digitisation services can help you:

Reduce physical storage requirements.
Improve access to business-critical information.
Create organised, searchable digital archives.
Simplify document retrieval and administration.
Support office relocations and system upgrades.

The Document Scanning Process

Our document scanning services follow a proven process to ensure accurate and efficient digitisation:

Collection

ProScan Document Imaging (or its courier) will carefully pack your documents into archive boxes prior to their transportation to our secure Southampton or Crawley premises. On arrival, we will book in each box giving it a unique identifying number.

Preparation

In accordance with the work schedule agreed, we’ll then prepare your documents using barcoding and patch code sheets if needed. At this point, our staff will also unfold sheets and remove staples to ensure the most accurate scanning of your documentation possible.

Scanning

Your documents are then digitised into images using the latest Kodak scanners. Documents are displayed on high definition screens and inspected in real time by our scanning operative for clarity and accuracy.

Quality Control

Upon completion of the scanning, a manager then checks that the scanning has been carried out successfully and to the specifications you required.

Document Indexing

With all files digitised and stored on our computer network, we then attach any related information to a document or batch of documents. If specified by our clients, documents then undergo the Optical Character Recognition process.

Secure Shredding

Following successful digitisation and indexing, your documents are then shredded and recycled for which we’ll provide you with a certificate of destruction (if required). Alternatively, we can return the documents to you or store them at our premises for a small monthly charge.
