Document Scanning & Digitisation Services
We provide professional document scanning and digitisation services, converting your paper archives into organised, searchable digital files. From student records and personnel files to business documentation, we turn boxes of paper into records you can find in seconds.
Paper records create storage problems: they take up vital office space or cost a fortune in off-site storage, and they’re vulnerable to damage, loss or destruction.
Human-led digitisation for organisations that want their archive on screen, not in boxes—it really is that simple...
Searchable Files
Key details from each record entered into a spreadsheet, so any record can be found in seconds.
Any Size Archive
From a single filing cabinet to hundreds of boxes.
Priced From Your Sample
Send a few documents and we’ll quote a fixed price, with no setup fees or minimums.
Transparent Scanning & Digitisation Pricing
Send a sample of your documents and we’ll give you a fixed quotation within 24 hours, so you know the total before we start. Condition, volume and indexing needs vary from archive to archive, so we price from your actual records rather than a generic calculator.
See our Data Entry Pricing page for more details.
Scanning Is Only Half the Job
Scanning alone gives you a folder of images. Digitisation means you can find things. We can:
- Scan and name consistently: every file labelled so it can be found without opening it.
- Index into Excel: key details from each record entered into a spreadsheet, so a record can be looked up in seconds.
- Make files searchable: text recognised so you can search inside documents by keyword.
- Organise into folders: a clear structure that matches how your team actually looks for things.

Not sure which you need? Most business records suit a searchable PDF. Tell us what you’ll use the files for and we’ll recommend one.
Records in Any Condition
Not all paper records are pristine modern printouts. We handle A4 documents in various conditions:
- Bound documents: books, ledgers and registers that can’t be taken apart.
- Fragile materials: aged or delicate documents handled with care.
- Poor quality: faded text, carbon copies, thermal paper and low-contrast pages.
- Handwritten records: forms, notes and historical documents captured carefully.
- Photographs and images: loose photos or documents containing embedded images.
Who Our Scanning Service Is For
- Schools and colleges: student and staff records moved from boxes into searchable files.
- Businesses with archives: personnel files, contracts and invoices clearing office space.
- Organisations paying for storage: off-site storage fees replaced with a one-off digitisation cost.
- Small batches or large archives: from a single filing cabinet to hundreds of boxes.

Most smaller projects are returned within 7 to 10 working days.
