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.
