Accredited Document Scanning Services in Lymington
Rather than apply a one-size-fits-all formula, we build each accredited scanning project around your particular sector, systems and compliance requirements. From finance and legal paperwork to HR files, technical drawings and historic archives, the work is scoped according to volume, sensitivity and how long records must be kept — delivering secure digital access, freeing up valuable space and lowering the risks tied to physical storage.
Serving Lymington and the wider south coast, BPMS brings together a high-capacity production bureau and a consultative way of working. We first look at how your records are used day to day, then put together the right combination of on-site scanning, bulk scanning, scan-on-demand and storage — fitting the service to your organisation instead of asking you to fit around it.

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
Where you’re handling personal, financial, legal or commercially sensitive material, ‘secure’ can’t simply be a word on a brochure — it has to be how the service actually operates. Our secure scanning takes place in an accredited bureau staffed by DBS-checked, NDA-bound people, with multiple layers of physical and digital protection running through every stage. Files are traced from the moment they’re collected to final handover, scanning workstations are isolated, network access is closely managed, and the resulting records are encrypted whether in transit or stored.
For those that specifically require a confidential document scanning service — think legal practices, financial advisers, HR departments, healthcare organisations and public sector teams — this level of rigour is what distinguishes a project that strengthens compliance from one that quietly creates new exposure. BPMS is set up to deliver the former every time, no matter how large or small the job.

FAQ’s
What is document scanning and how does it work?
Document scanning means turning your physical paper records into digital files, typically searchable PDF, TIFF or JPEG. At BPMS the work passes through several stages: documents are prepped (staples, clips and bindings taken out and tears mended), fed through production scanners, quality-checked and then indexed so any file can be located in seconds. Digital copies are placed into the storage system you use, and the original papers are either securely destroyed or returned, depending on what you’d prefer.
What file formats can my scanned documents be delivered in?
Your scanned documents can be delivered in whatever format suits your systems best — most commonly PDF, JPG or TIFF. For technical drawings, we can additionally output CAD-compatible files such as .DWG and .DXF ready for AutoCAD.
What is scan-on-demand and when should I use it?
Scan-on-demand is ideal for organisations sitting on large volumes of paper that don’t need everything digitised immediately. It’s a common entry point for Lymington and Hampshire organisations starting out on a broader digitisation programme. Your files stay in secure storage and individual documents are scanned only when you ask, with the digital version returned to you — a way of spreading the cost over time and a sensible first move toward a larger rollout.
How does BPMS keep our documents secure?
Security underpins everything we do for our Lymington and Hampshire clients. Scanning is carried out at a secure, ISO 9001-approved site, our people are vetted and signed up to confidentiality agreements, and your documents stay under controlled conditions throughout. Should you want originals destroyed after scanning, we’ll supply a certificate of destruction for your records.
How much paper does a typical filing cabinet or archive box hold?
Roughly speaking, a standard four-drawer filing cabinet holds in the order of 15,000 to 20,000 sheets, and an archive box about 2,000 to 2,500 — although this shifts with paper weight and how tightly everything is packed. Most organisations underestimate both the amount of paper they keep and the time wasted on records that have been misfiled.
Can you scan bound books and large-format drawings?
Yes. Bound documents are handled with a careful, non-invasive technique that keeps the originals intact, and for oversized material such as architectural drawings, plans and maps we use dedicated wide-format scanners that manage widths up to A0 and lengths of roughly two metres.
What happens to my paper documents once they have been scanned?
It’s entirely up to you. Most clients opt to have originals securely shredded and recycled after scanning, with a certificate of destruction supplied for compliance. If you’d prefer to hold on to the physical documents, we’ll send them back instead.
