Document scanning

Archive management starts with document scanning. Here at PDM we have a range of high quality scanning equipment with the capability to scan thousands of documents per day.

HR document storage

Is your HR department over-burdened by paperwork?

Document storage solutions designed for HR departments

Due to the nature of their work, human resources departments have always been very reliant on paperwork. From application forms, through to staff reviews and staff management, to processes used by HR teams tend to be very paper-heavy. Storage problems can easily arise as HR documents must be easy to access and stored for a certain length of time. However as a business and its HR archive grows, storing and managing such a large amount of paperwork can become a problem.

Although human resources departments are very resource-heavy, an increasing number are choosing to work towards the goal of a paperless office. It’s not difficult to understand why: it takes a huge amount of time to manage staff records and because records have to be retained for duration of employment and beyond (decades in the case of company pensions), the requirement to find a digital solution is becoming increasingly pressing for many HR departments.

Store and manage HR paperwork with a digital document storage solution

Digital document storage offers the ideal way for HR department to drastically reduce the amount of paper they add to an overcrowded document archive. Information can be accessed and shared instantly, making digital document storage an efficient, achievable option for your HR department.

It’s important to note though that although moving to a digital document storage system is a positive first step towards a paperless office, there’s still the problem of existing physical paper records. We can help with this too thanks to our scanning service. Our powerful scanning equipment is able to scan hundreds of documents a day, converting them into digital files, designed to be stored, managed and searched electronically. Scanning documents in this way has the potential to transform the way your HR team work, improving efficiency, security and helping to reduce costs.
