Every document is searchable the moment it's scanned
OCR and indexing happen during the scanning process, so a specific contract or client record can be found by searching text, not by flipping through a folder of generic PDF filenames.
Scanning a filing cabinet into a folder of PDFs isn't the same as digitizing your records. A traditional document scanning service gets you from paper to files, which solves storage but not retrieval, if a document still has to be opened one by one to find the right page, you've traded a filing cabinet for a slower filing cabinet. We run scanning as a software-first service: every document gets OCR'd, indexed, and tagged so a specific record is searchable the moment it's digitized, not just stored somewhere electronic.
A business outsourcing document scanning is usually trying to solve one of two problems: physical storage is running out, or a specific record takes too long to find when it's needed, a contract, a client file, a historical compliance document. A traditional scanning vendor solves the first problem well and barely touches the second, because the output is still a stack of unindexed PDFs someone has to search manually. We built ours to solve both at once, OCR and indexing happen as part of the scanning process itself, not as an optional add-on tier.

Documents get organized and tagged around your real retrieval needs, by client, by date, by record type, instead of a generic folder structure that makes sense to the scanning vendor and nobody else.
Once records are digitized and verified, the physical originals can be stored off-site or disposed of per your retention policy, freeing up office space without losing retrieval speed.
Whatever document management, CRM, or practice-management system your team already works in, digitized and indexed records get connected to it directly, instead of living in a separate scanning-vendor portal nobody checks.
Tell us what kind of records you're digitizing and how your team actually needs to find one again later, by client, by date, by record type, and we'll show you what OCR'd, indexed scanning actually looks like, not a vendor's generic PDF export.

We run OCR and indexing as part of the scanning process itself, so every record is searchable by content, not just stored electronically.
Yes, that's usually part of the engagement. Whatever system your team already works in, we connect digitized and indexed records to it directly, so nobody has to check a separate portal to find something.
We scope handling and access controls around whatever regulatory requirements apply to your records, HIPAA for medical files, client-confidentiality standards for legal ones, before any physical documents change hands, not as an afterthought.
That's your call, driven by your retention policy. Once digitized records are verified against the originals, documents can be stored off-site, returned to you, or securely destroyed, whichever your compliance requirements and preferences call for.
Our team runs the process end to end, scanning, OCR, and indexing, so the indexing logic is built specifically around how you need to retrieve records, not a generic process a subcontractor runs the same way for every client.
Depends heavily on volume. A single department's active files might take two to three weeks; a full records backlog, years of archived documents, can run several months. We scope a realistic timeline against your actual volume before starting, not a generic estimate.
