Digitise your paper archive in one controlled project. We collect, prepare, scan, index and deliver searchable files to BS 10008 — then return, store or securely destroy the originals.
If your teams are still walking to filing cabinets, waiting for boxes from storage, or working around rooms full of paper, back-scanning moves everything to searchable digital files in one project.
Nothing starts until a test batch has been signed off against your exact requirements — image quality, indexing, file naming and output. From there, production runs on our scanning floor with quality control on every batch and every document tracked to delivery.
Once your archive is digital, day-forward scanning or our digital mailroom can keep it that way.
We agree indexing and output, then scan a free test batch for sign-off.

Back-scanning (or backfile scanning) is digitising an existing archive of paper records in one project, so you can work from digital files and free up the space. Day-forward scanning then handles new documents as they arrive.
From a single archive to millions of pages. Large projects get dedicated project management, a signed-off test batch before production and quality control on every batch.
Yes. Our team removes staples and clips, repairs and flattens where needed, sorts the documents and indexes them to the reference fields your team searches by, before scanning.
Searchable PDF, PDF/A, TIFF or JPEG, OCR'd and indexed to your references, delivered by SFTP, secure portal or media.
Yes. We scan to BS 10008, the British Standard for the legal admissibility of electronic information, so digital records can stand up as evidence and originals can be destroyed where your policy allows.
Your choice: returned to you, moved into our secure storage, or destroyed to BS EN 15713 with a certificate of destruction.
It's quoted per project and depends mainly on volume, document condition, preparation, indexing depth and output format. We quote from a free test batch — see our scanning cost guide for what drives the price.
