What we can include in the service

Sentence introducing the full feature set the bolt on has to offer.

Collection
We’ll collect your documents in our GPS-tracked vehicles and take them to one of our 70+ scanning locations.
Preparation and quality control
We’ll sort, prepare and de-staple your papers; rotate and de-skew image files; and apply quality-assurance-driven procedures with pre-agreed accuracy targets.
Scanning
We’ll scan your documents with our IBML Fusion HD scanners which offer the highest throughput available on the market.
Structure
We’ll index your scanned documents and use optical character recognition (OCR) to make them searchable by keyword, reference, or metadata.
Certification
Our scanning locations are covered by BS 10008, meaning your digitised information can be used in legal proceedings if needed.
Digital delivery
We’ll deliver the digital files back into FileSmart for easy access and data security.
Storage and shredding
Once digitised, we can store your hardcopy originals in one of our secure, climate-controlled records centres. We can confidentially destroy out-of-date or unnecessary paperwork, CDs, DVDs and credit cards; with shredded paper recycled in the UK.
Chain of custody
We’ll provide a secure chain of custody from start to finish.
