Document Scanning in Peterborough | Data Solutions Group Ltd

📄 Document Scanning in Peterborough

At Data Solutions Group, we provide secure, professional document scanning in Peterborough and across Cambridgeshire. Whether you need to digitise a few archive boxes in Dogsthorpe or an entire records room in Paston, our experienced team can help you transition from paper to digital — efficiently, securely, and fully compliant with UK data protection standards.

Moreover, going paperless allows your organisation to gain instant access to information, reduce storage costs, and protect critical records against loss or damage. Because we have supported Peterborough businesses and public-sector organisations for many years, we understand the local needs — from city centre offices to industrial estates and schools — and therefore provide bespoke solutions tailored to your requirements.

🔄 How Our Peterborough Document Scanning Process Works

We follow a proven, step-by-step workflow to guarantee quality, accuracy, and security. In addition, each stage is designed to reduce risk and ensure reliable results:

🚚 Collection – We collect documents from anywhere in Peterborough, including city centre, Dogsthorpe, Paston, and Werrington, using GPS-tracked vehicles. Therefore, your files remain secure in transit.
🧾 Preparation – Staples, clips, and bindings are removed to ensure smooth scanning and high-quality images. As a result, we prevent damage and maintain consistency.
🖨️ Scanning – Files are scanned in colour or black & white at high resolution. Moreover, every detail is captured accurately.
🔍 Indexing & OCR – Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR), files are fully searchable for instant retrieval.
✅ Quality Checks – Every document is reviewed for clarity, completeness, and correct indexing. Additionally, we conduct double checks to guarantee reliability.
🔐 Secure Delivery – Digital files are delivered via encrypted transfer, cloud portal, or encrypted media. Thus, your information remains fully protected.
♻️ Optional Shredding – Once approved, originals can be securely shredded and recycled to BS EN 15713 standards. Consequently, sensitive information is protected.

Because all scanning is managed in-house, you always know exactly where your documents are and who is handling them.
