Benefits

Choosing to take advantage of our large format scanning service can offer you the following benefits:

Saved Space

Large documents are of course more likely to take up valuable business space in comparison with typical paper files. By digitising your drawings, you can save significant space previously taken up by large drawings, whilst still having complete access to the information.

Easy access and retrieval

By uploading your drawings to an online document management system, authorised staff members can also enjoy full access to digital documents from any computer with an internet connection.

Multiple physical copies

Our high quality printing service offers the perfect solution for companies looking to produce several physical copies of an original plan. We can discuss exactly how many documents you require in our initial consultation.

Protection from damage

Having a digital back-up of your large documents, or even replacing them entirely with electronic versions, can safe-guard your business from unforeseen damage. Large plans and drawings can become troublesome to store onsite due to their size, and can be prone to fire and flood damage, as well as general wear-and-tear.
