A Contingency / Disaster Recovery Bulk Scanning & Digital Mailroom Solution

The Challenge

With home working now more prevalent than ever before, securely and efficiently sharing paper-based documents and incoming mail with remote working teams is a difficulty for countless organisations.

Many have a need to scan paper-based documents and files, including post.

Paper can only be in one place at a time, hindering effective working and collaboration, while increasing risk when compliance and managing one version of the truth remains important.

Simple but effective communication tools are key to making it work.

The Solution

Agilico and Paper River have brought together a rapid response, ready to go mail and bulk scanning solution as part of our wider agile workflow solutions.

It’s a simple to deploy, out of the box answer to the challenge of sharing documents effectively with disparate teams.

ScanPOD delivers fast, effective & secure capture and distribution of paper-based documents – including bulk scan and digital mail.

It acts as a bulk scan and a digital mail service, while being a totally self-contained solution that will give your organisation everything it needs to support communication.

The software is pre-installed on an all-in one touch screen & monitor, that is connected to a production scanner. All the solution needs to be instantly up and running is a secure network connection/VPN service to your network and access to your Active Directory.

How ScanPOD Works

Active Directory Import

Facilitates selection & distribution of inbound or bulk scan request documents to a client, user or group.

Automated Filing

Folder locations automatically created by the scanning process for users if they don’t already exist.

Supporting Compliance

Audit every document captured, including the date and time, while supporting file naming conventions.

Swift Distribution

Documents are converted to a read-only PDF file, distributed to any location, and an email sent to the user(s) with a link to view the document remotely.

Manage Mail Remotely

The user simply opens the hard copy mail, selects a recipient or group from the ScanPort (with alphabetic block filtering) and submits the post.

Through a combination of an Active Directory import, your email gateway and a secure file store, the solution quickly facilitates a distribution platform for mail and bulk scan requests. ScanPOD also has the ability to scan to an FTP location.

Working either from home, a disaster recovery site, a satellite office or a central service (such as reprographics), a user simply loads the incoming/routed mail or bulk scan request documents into the automatic feeder of the production scanner and previews the optimised images on the ScanPort.

  • Selecting a user or group from the screen (with alphabetic block filtering) they can submit the post securely
  • The document will be converted to a read-only PDF file for speed, sent to their network home folder and an email sent to the user or key group members with a link to the document to view remotely
  • Folder locations will automatically be created by the scanning process for users if they don’t already exist

Crucially and to support compliance, the system comprehensively audits every document that has been captured, including the date, time and recipient and can automatically name the file accordingly.
