The benefits of document storage

As your business grows, so does the amount of paperwork you need to store. Keeping physical records within your business is a legal requirement for certain organisations but keeping document storage boxes onsite can be costly and take up a lot of space.

Using a document storage facility like ProScan Document Imaging’s frees up space, keeps documents secure and also keeps you up to date with GDPR requirements, therefore avoiding any data breaches.

Document storage frees up space in your property

Keeping rows of filing cabinets or shelves of paperwork takes up floor space in your business that could be put to better use. Using document storage companies like ProScan Document Imaging means you can move paperwork out safely in order for more desks, equipment or stock.

If your business is growing, make sure you have the room available to expand with it. By shifting your administrative documents into secure document storage you can be sure to have the space you require.

Storing documents safely and securely

Off-site document storage companies are required to meet legal standards. By moving your files to a professionally managed UK document storage facility, it will be protected by measures such as CCTV and advanced security measures.

The building itself also has extra measures in place to avoid potential disasters such as fires and flooding.

Storing files and folders of confidential information on your premises risks theft or unauthorised access. Using an off-site document storage site like ProScan Document Imaging’s prevents any unwanted attention as your documents are safely locked away. Any staff members that have access to your documents are vetted and trained accordingly.

Document organisation and filing systems

Over time, in-house filing systems can become unreliable. Working within a larger team or in a busy office can mean files are harder to find without someone actively managing them and keeping cataloguing in check.

If you choose to store your data in a document storage and management facility, you can benefit from their accurate filing system – which is discussed with you first. This means any additional documents you add to storage will be put in the correct place and you can be sure to find them easily at a later date.

Should you need to recall a document storage folder for any reason, simply call us and request it. We will deliver it back to you promptly via our trusted courier.

Keep up to date with regulations and GDPR requirements

Correct storage of confidential information is a legal requirement. Add an extra layer of security by keeping these in a UK document storage safe.

Your storage provider will ensure your documents are kept in line with all legislation. Not only that, but they will be up-to-date with any changing laws or requirements, will keep you informed of these changes and ensure your documents comply.

When it’s time for your documents to be disposed of – for example, after 7 years – it will be quickly and efficiently shredded and disposed of correctly.

Online access for quick file retrieval

Not all companies offer an online document storage database. Here at ProScan Document Imaging, we have an easy to use web portal that allows you to request files back at your convenience. You are able to access this from any smart device, so you can manage document storage on iPad or iPhone.

Through our platform, you can manage your stored items, request information back for next day delivery, and set retention periods for the documents you store with us.

Returning the requested paperwork back to us is easy. Simply log into the portal, submit your request and we will send one of our vetted drivers to collect it, return it back into storage and update your inventory.
