Professional Document Digitisation for Hampshire Businesses

From overflowing filing cabinets to archive rooms filled with boxes, paper-based information can make it harder to find what you need and use it effectively.

ProScan provides professional document scanning services in Hampshire, helping businesses and organisations convert paper records into well-organised digital files. Whether you need to digitise everyday office paperwork, confidential employee records or decades of archived documents, we can tailor a scanning solution to your requirements.

From individual departments to large-scale archive conversion projects, ProScan can help you take the next step towards a more efficient way of managing your documents.

Turn Your Paper Archives into Searchable Digital Records

Finding a particular document in a large paper archive can take valuable time, especially when records are stored across multiple locations or filing systems.

Digitisation provides an opportunity to make that information more accessible. ProScan converts physical documents into digital files and can apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) where appropriate, allowing text within scanned documents to be searched electronically.

We can also discuss indexing, document classification and file naming conventions to help structure your digital archive around the way your organisation works.

Depending on your requirements, your scanned documents can be supplied in formats including:

Searchable PDF
PDF/A for long-term digital archiving
TIFF and JPEG
Other agreed formats, including text-based outputs, XML and CSV where appropriate

With the right organisation and indexing, digital records can be easier to locate, retrieve and share through your existing document management arrangements.

Instead of spending time searching through paper folders, your team can work towards a more streamlined approach to accessing the information they need.

Reduce Paper Storage and Improve Business Efficiency

Large volumes of paperwork can affect more than just your storage capacity. Physical archives need space, records must be filed and retrieved, and important information can become difficult to access when filing systems are inconsistent.

Professional document scanning can help Hampshire businesses address these challenges.

Reclaim valuable space

Convert suitable paper records into digital files and reduce the amount of office or warehouse space dedicated to filing cabinets and archive boxes.

Make information easier to retrieve

Searchable files and structured indexing can help staff locate relevant records without having to search through physical folders.

Improve access to historical information

Bring older documents back into everyday use by converting archived paperwork into accessible digital records.

Support changing business needs

Digitisation can help organisations preparing for office moves, system migrations, departmental changes or new ways of working.

Create a more organised document archive

Establish a consistent digital structure for business records, making information easier to manage in line with your internal processes and retention requirements.

Reduce routine handling of original documents

Once records have been digitised, staff may be able to consult digital copies for many everyday tasks, helping limit unnecessary handling of the originals.

The right approach depends on your records, working practices and document retention obligations. ProScan can discuss your objectives before your project begins.

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.
