Digital mailroom — your post, scanned, sorted and where it needs to be.

We collect or receive your incoming post, open and scan it in our accredited UK facilities, classify every item and route it to the right person, team or system the same day — so your people work from clean digital documents instead of waiting on the internal post round, wherever they are.

Why a digital mailroom

The post arrives. The work shouldn't wait.

With hybrid and remote teams, mail sitting in a tray is a bottleneck — invoices, applications, claims and correspondence stuck in a building while the people who need them are somewhere else. A digital mailroom removes the wait entirely.

We become your inbound post address. Every item is opened, scanned, classified and delivered digitally the same day — routed to the right inbox or system — so nothing depends on someone being in the office to sort the post.

It is the same accredited team, chain of custody and audit trail we apply to your archived records — now applied to your post the moment it lands.

Digital mailroom FAQs

What is a digital mailroom?

A digital mailroom outsources your incoming post. Instead of mail landing on desks, we collect or receive it, open and scan it in our secure UK facilities, classify each item, and route it to the right person, team or system the same day — so your people work from digital documents wherever they are.

How does a digital mailroom work?

Your post is redirected to us or collected from you. We open and scan every item, our Sentinel Capture process classifies it and reads key details, and each document is routed to the right inbox, workflow or system, with the original stored or securely destroyed to your policy.

Can you handle our PO box or a Royal Mail redirection?

Yes. We can receive post at our address via a redirection, manage a dedicated PO box, or collect from your site on a schedule — whatever suits your volumes and setup.

How quickly is post processed?

Same working day as standard, with agreed SLAs for urgent items, so your teams see their post digitally within hours of it arriving rather than waiting on internal distribution.

Is a digital mailroom secure and GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Post is handled by our own DBS-checked staff in our ISO 27001-accredited UK facilities, under a full chain of custody and audit trail, with personal data handled under UK GDPR and pseudonymised where required.

Is a digital mailroom good for remote and hybrid teams?

It is one of the main reasons organisations adopt it. No one has to be in the office to open the post — everyone works from the same clean digital documents, routed straight to them wherever they are.

What happens to the original post?

Your choice: originals are returned to you, held in our secure document storage, or securely destroyed to BS EN 15713 with a certificate of destruction.

Can you capture data and route by rules?

Yes. Beyond routing, we can read key fields from each item and apply your rules — by document type, department, reference or sender — and deliver structured data into your finance, CRM or records systems.
