Document scanning service in Kenya

Scan and index authorized paper documents without altering originals.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional scan job SCN-67 digitises ten folders, each containing ten duplex A4 sheets:100 physical sheets and 200 page images. Output is ten named searchable PDFs, a 200-page reconciliation and returned originals in their existing order. Example filename F03_supplier-records_2026.pdf is a client-approved category, not permission to expose confidential contents. Document destruction, legal certification, handwritten-text accuracy guarantees and repairing fragile originals are excluded. Any blank reverse pages remain until the client approves a documented blank-removal rule.
