Accredited Document Scanning Services in Christchurch
Every BPMS scanning project is shaped around your sector, your systems and your compliance obligations, rather than forced into a fixed template. Whether the records are legal or financial files, HR folders, technical drawings or long-term archives, we plan the work around their volume, sensitivity and retention rules — giving you secure digital access while clearing office space and cutting the risks that come with paper storage.
As a document scanning partner working across Christchurch and the wider south coast, BPMS pairs a high-volume production bureau with a genuinely consultative approach. We take time to understand how your records are actually used, then assemble the right blend of on-site scanning, bulk scanning, scan-on-demand and storage — so the solution adapts to your business rather than the reverse.

File Formats and Output Options for Your Scanned Documents
A professional document scanning service has to deliver into the systems and formats your business already runs, not the other way around. Our document scan services support every mainstream output, including searchable PDF and PDF/A for long-term archiving, TIFF and JPEG for imaging, and CAD-compatible .DWG and .DXF for technical drawings. Files can be delivered on encrypted media, via secure file transfer, or uploaded directly into your chosen document management system, SharePoint tenant or cloud storage.
Secure and Confidential Document Scanning Services You Can Trust
When the records in question are personal, financial, legal or commercially sensitive, ‘secure’ has to mean something real rather than serve as a marketing label. Our secure document scanning is carried out in an accredited bureau by DBS-checked, NDA-bound staff, with overlapping physical and digital safeguards across the whole process. Every file is tracked from collection through to final delivery, scanning stations are kept separate, network access is restricted, and the finished digital records are encrypted both in transit and at rest.
For organisations that specifically need a confidential document scanning service — law firms, financial advisers, HR teams, healthcare providers and public sector bodies among them — this degree of control is what separates a project that reinforces your compliance position from one that quietly introduces fresh risk. BPMS is built to deliver the former on every engagement, whatever its scale.

FAQ’s
What is document scanning and how does it work?
Document scanning is the conversion of your physical paper records into digital files, usually searchable PDF, TIFF or JPEG. At BPMS it moves through several steps: files are first prepared (staples, paperclips and bindings removed and any tears repaired), then passed through production scanners, quality-checked, and indexed so any document can be found quickly. The finished digital copies are loaded into your preferred storage system, and the originals are either securely destroyed or handed back to you, whichever you prefer.
What file formats can my scanned documents be delivered in?
We supply your scanned files in whichever format works best with your systems — most often PDF, JPG or TIFF. Where technical drawings are involved, we can also produce CAD-ready formats such as .DWG and .DXF for use in AutoCAD.
What is scan-on-demand and when should I use it?
Scan-on-demand works well for organisations holding large volumes of paper that don’t need everything digitised straight away. It’s a popular first step for Christchurch and Dorset organisations easing into a wider digitisation programme. Your files are kept in secure storage and individual documents are scanned only as you request them, with the digital copy sent back to you — spreading the cost over time and often the most sensible way to begin a larger project.
How does BPMS keep our documents secure?
Security sits at the heart of how we work for our Christchurch and Dorset clients. Scanning takes place in a secure, ISO 9001-approved facility, our staff are vetted and bound by confidentiality agreements, and your documents are handled under controlled conditions from start to finish. If you’d like originals destroyed once scanned, we issue a certificate of destruction for your compliance records.
How much paper does a typical filing cabinet or archive box hold?
As a general guide, a standard four-drawer filing cabinet holds somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 sheets, while an archive box takes roughly 2,000 to 2,500 — though the exact figure depends on paper weight and how tightly the files are packed. Most organisations underestimate both how much paper they’re storing and how much time is lost to misfiled records.
Can you scan bound books and large-format drawings?
Yes. We handle bound documents with a careful, non-invasive method that protects the originals, and we run dedicated wide-format scanners for oversized items such as architectural drawings, plans and maps — coping with widths up to A0 and lengths of around two metres.
What happens to my paper documents once they have been scanned?
That’s your decision. Most clients have their originals securely shredded and recycled once scanning is complete, with a certificate of destruction provided for compliance. Alternatively, if you’d rather keep the physical files, we’ll return them to you.
