Business Process Scanning old

Paper processing and data entry will not go away, it’s extremely time consuming and costly, but is the lifeblood of any organisation.

Our Expertise

One thing we do know, is that regardless of your business or sector, paper has not reduced the way we expected it to. If anything, workloads have increased as administrating documents across departments has become more difficult to manage and more costly to process as it arrives in various formats (paper, email, fax etc.)

The Challenges

Processing documents like PODs, Work Orders, Time Sheets, Expenses, Invoices etc weekly or monthly is, first and foremost, a massive drain on any department; it requires a heavy staff resource to keep on top of the task, with inevitable bottlenecks, due to the cyclical nature of business.

What we do

Expenses Scanning
Proof of Delivery / Work Orders
Time Sheets
Batch Records / Production Sheets
Application Forms & Survey

When employees submit their paper expenses for processing, typically the Finance Administrator will check and secure all receipts (parking, lunch, vehicle etc) which is a time consuming task. Informa can take these expense claims, secure the receipts for scanning and record them by the claim number, date and claimants name for simple access and to assist with audits. Once captured these documents can be securely destroyed.

Signed documents play a vital role in responding to customer enquiries, clearing payment or confirming delivery. Informa scan PODs and Signed Work Orders making them available digitally for fast and secure retrieval of information. The scanning can be completed daily, weekly or monthly and the data is typically tagged by the PoD number, Client Number or Contract Number. Once scanned and digitally secure, the documents can be shredded.

Processing Time Sheets for employees is a time critical but time heavy task. The data from paper based time sheets are usually manually entered onto the Payroll system to ensure accurate payment to employees. Informa can alleviate time and manual data entry by extracting the required data from Time Sheets and present information in a format suitable for upload to the Payroll system and provide links to scanned data if required.

Manufacturing, Pharmaceutical and Medical Device companies produce masses of paper documents and files. Work Orders and Batch Records are very important documents and they are often retrieved from storage and used in audits and client queries. There is a risk associated with only having the document in paper format. Informa as an ISO27001 service bureau can create a digital copy in PDF/A format of your hardcopy files with full text recognition.

Application forms, client surveys, membership & subscription forms and public registers are highly valuable documents that contain information and feedback that is time sensitive. Informa provide a service that ensures you get all information accurately extracted and presented back in a format that meets your requirements (Excel, XML, CSV, MDB etc).

  • We would have struggled to manage discovery in a paper format.

    Informa worked with us recently on eDiscovery and what struck me was the simplicity of the system from a user’s perspective. Our reviewers had never used the system before, but they were up and running in 30 minutes. We would have struggled to manage discovery in a paper format.

Archival scanning is a very different to day-to-day or project scanning, it involves a myriad of equipment to handle documents that need to be preserved and handled with care.
