Professional Document Scanning & Digitisation for London Businesses

Are paper documents taking up valuable office space? Are filing cabinets overflowing, archive boxes piling up or important business records becoming increasingly difficult to find?

ProScan provides professional document scanning services throughout London, helping businesses and organisations replace paper-based filing systems with organised, secure and searchable digital documents.

From everyday office paperwork and HR personnel files to historic archives, books and large-scale business records, we offer tailored document scanning and digitisation solutions designed to make managing information easier.

Whether you're a small business, educational establishment, professional practice or multi-site organisation, we can help you spend less time managing paperwork and more time running your business.

Make Space with Professional Document Scanning

London office space comes at a premium. Keeping years of paperwork in filing cabinets, storage rooms and archive facilities can be an expensive use of valuable space.

Our bulk document scanning services help businesses convert physical records into digital files, reducing the need for paper storage and making information quicker and easier to retrieve.

We can digitise:

General office documents and business correspondence
HR files, employee records and personnel archives
Financial records, invoices and accounting documents
Contracts, legal files and property records
Customer records and confidential business paperwork
Historical archives and long-term storage collections
Books, bound documents and publications
A3 drawings, plans and technical documents
Microfilm and specialist archive materials

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

Archive Scanning & Historical Document Digitisation

Years of accumulated paperwork can create significant storage and management challenges. Our archive scanning services help London organisations turn stored records into accessible digital information.

We handle large-scale archive digitisation projects, including business archives, historical documents, books, bound publications and specialist records.

From preparing documents for scanning through to quality checking and digital delivery, we can manage the process around your requirements.

Digitising your archives can help:

Reduce physical storage requirements.
Improve access to historical and business records.
Make information easier to search and retrieve.
Support office moves and document management projects.
Preserve important records in digital formats.

Document Scanning for Office Relocations & Business Changes

Moving offices, consolidating departments or introducing a new document management system can be the ideal opportunity to review how your business stores information.

Rather than transporting filing cabinets and archive boxes to another location, digitising your records can help simplify the process.

ProScan can work with you to plan document scanning projects around office relocations, system migrations and wider business changes, helping turn paper-based information into organised digital files ready for your next stage.

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.
