When your organization needs reliable, high-quality document scanning, InDigital is your trusted partner in the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro area. Whether you have archival files, active business records, or large legacy collections, our document scanning services facilitate smooth transitions to a digital system. We support clients in education, government, legal, healthcare, and corporate sectors with flexible onsite and offsite options, deep regulatory compliance, and efficient workflows.
Getting Started: Project Review & Planning
Every scanning project begins with a detailed intake process. We review your project specifications, evaluate volume and complexity, then present a pricing proposal accompanied by sample scans. This lets you verify image quality, indexing accuracy, and file format before full implementation.
Onsite vs. Offsite Scanning: Which Works Best?
Onsite scanning means our equipment and teams come directly to your facility. It offers maximum control, immediate access, and minimal file handling—but is generally more expensive because of equipment setup, labor costs, and restrictions on space and operating hours.
By contrast, offsite scanning happens in our secure processing center. We often operate split shifts or weekends to meet tight deadlines and gain room for staging, quality control, and processing. Many clients opt for offsite to save costs and take advantage of our full infrastructure.
Long‑Term Archival: Are Scanned Images Acceptable?
Yes. InDigital’s scans meet standards for long-term record retention. We comply with guidelines from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), HIPAA, and historical societies, ensuring scanned images are fully acceptable for archival use under many regulatory and institutional policies.
Access to Files During Scanning
We know business doesn’t stop just because documents are being scanned. That’s why we offer free record retrieval during scanning operations. If you need a document while it’s in process, we prepare, scan, index, and deliver it digitally without delaying the entire job.
Document Preparation Services
Before scanning even begins, our team handles critical prep tasks:
- Organizing files by order and classification
- Purging outdated materials per record retention schedules
- Removing staples, clips, and sticky notes
- Inserting barcode separator sheets for efficient job segmentation
These steps reduce errors, speed throughput, and protect your original documents.
High-Speed Scanning Capabilities
We use modern auto-feed scanners with advanced capabilities:
- Automatic exposure and density controls
- Auto border removal and skew correction
- Support for color, grayscale, and black & white imaging
These features deliver clean, accurate scans—even on mixed media or older documents.
Data Indexing & Entry Services
Raw images aren’t enough. We add value by indexing your documents:
- Naming files consistently
- Capturing metadata and key search fields
- Reading barcodes
- Performing OCR (optical character recognition)
- Auto-matching data via lookups or reference files
This ensures your files are searchable, organized, and ready to integrate.
Bulk & Legacy File Conversion
Large‑scale scanning projects include:
- One-time bulk conversions
- Backfile scanning for older archives
- Legacy onboarding—moving your full paper collection into digital format
It’s ideal during relocations, consolidations, or archival modernization.
Ongoing Scanning & On-Call Services
Some clients prefer recurring service rather than one-time jobs. We offer:
- Scheduled pick-up/delivery
- On-call scanning for urgent needs
- Low-impact, no-fuss scanning packages
