Scanning & digital archive

Find any document in seconds, not hours

We turn paper records into clean, searchable PDFs and keep them in your secure online archive. Everyone who needs them can get to them from anywhere.

Bulk scanning

Go paper-light without lifting a finger

We collect your files, prepare them by removing staples and repairing damaged pages, and scan them on production scanners. Then we check every batch. You get text-searchable PDFs, named and indexed the way your team works.

  • OCR, so you can search the text of every page
  • Indexed by client, matter, date or any reference you choose
  • Colour, greyscale or black and white, from A5 receipts to A3 drawings
  • Afterwards we store the originals, return them, or securely destroy them

Need one file from a box in storage? Ask for a scan

You don't have to have a whole box delivered for a single document. Tell us which box and file you need in the portal. We'll find it, scan it and upload it to your archive, usually the same working day.

  • No delivery charge, and the box never leaves secure storage
  • You're notified when it's ready to view or download
  • The scan stays in your archive, so you only ever pay for it once

How a scan request works

  1. Ask in the portal

    Pick the box and describe the file, for example "Smith lease, 2016".

  2. We pull and scan it

    The file is scanned to PDF and refiled in its box.

  3. Download it

    It appears in your digital archive, linked to its box.

Your digital archive

Hosted securely in the UK by Zopi

Your scans live in the WeArchive portal on UK servers that Zopi manages and backs up, not in someone's inbox or on a USB stick.

Search everything

Find documents by title, reference, date or box, and filter by department.

Private by default

Every user has their own login, and nobody outside your organisation can see your files.

Every view logged

Each view and download is recorded, so you always know who opened what.

Yours to take

If you ever want a full export of your files and index, we'll give it to you.
