I only have a small number of files. Can Paper Escape help digitise these?

Yes, we take on projects of all sizes.

We want to go paperless, but don’t want to change our current processes. Can you help?

This is what we specialise in. Our solutions don’t require any additional IT software or training and you don’t need to change a thing about the way your business currently operates. We tailor our solutions around your existing systems and processes.

Do I need to remove staples and paper clips?

Unlike many of our competitors, standard preparation is included free of charge as part of our service. We remove staples, paper clips, post-it notes and straighten edges, ensuring a smooth batch scanning process.

Do I need to box up my paperwork before arranging a collection?

All documentation will need to be stored in some form of archive box or container for transit purposes. We can supply archive boxes prior to, or upon collection, or you can use your own boxes, providing they are strong and secure. If you already have an account with Paper Escape, you can order boxes from our support page.

Accreditations & compliance

Does your organisation comply with current legislation?

Safe. Secure. Compliant.

At Paper Escape, we regularly conduct both external and internal audits to ensure we comply with current legislation.
These audits enable to us to maintain the highest standards of compliance, whilst continually improving our service to customers.

GDPR Compliance

The UK GDPR is the UK General Data Protection Regulation. It is a UK law which came into effect on the 1st of January 2021. GDPR impacts the way data is managed and affects all businesses. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in a maximum fine of €20 million (about £18 million) or 4% of the organisations annual global turnover – whichever is greater.

Implementing a document management system or solution, can help your business or organisation achieve compliance and ensure that it continues to meet these standards and comply with future legislation.
