Hickory Document Scanning Questions
What Hickory plants and offices ask before a scanning project starts, from how boxes are collected to which Catawba County towns we cover, what scanning costs, and what we scan.
Catawba County records are picked up on a scheduled collection under documented chain of custody, or you can send them by tracked shipping. Anything too sensitive to leave the plant or office is scanned on-site instead. Boxes are also welcome at our Matthews location during business hours.
Every job is handled by our own staff at an access-controlled facility under video surveillance rather than a subcontractor. Scanned documents return as searchable PDF or TIF with index data in Excel, file formats free tools already open, so nothing new goes onto your network. Originals are shredded under our NAID AAA certification or sent back with the files. Call (828) 900-1470 to set up a pickup.
All of Catawba County — Hickory itself plus Newton, Conover, Claremont, Long View, Maiden, Catawba, Sherrills Ford and Terrell — along with the surrounding Catawba Valley. That takes in Granite Falls, Hudson and Lenoir in Caldwell County, Morganton and Valdese in Burke County, Taylorsville in Alexander County, and Statesville and Denver to the east.
Coverage here is not a route boundary the way our shredding service is, because boxes travel and on-site work is scheduled. A Conover manufacturer and a Lenoir medical office are quoted the same way and scanned by the same staff on the same equipment, so the town changes neither the price nor the care important documents get. If yours is not named above, call and ask.
Document scanning is quoted per page, with the rate falling as volume rises, and one number covers prep, scanning, indexing and secure destruction of the originals rather than a stack of line items. Pulling staples, paper clips and binder clips is part of prep and is not billed separately.
Because we do not sell viewer software, there are no license fees, no installation charges and no IT time to budget for. What moves the number is page count, how much indexing you want, and whether anything needs special handling. There is no long-term contract, so you can scan one file room and stop. Call for a free assessment and a flat, all-in quote.
Furniture, fiber-optic and metal manufacturers, healthcare offices and municipal departments make up most of the Catawba Valley work — production and quality records, patient charts, personnel files full of personal documents, contracts and accounts payable batches. Charts convert to e-charts for EMR and EHR systems under HIPAA compliant handling, and since we sell no imaging software, output fits the system you run.
Plant paper is rarely letter size, which is fine — blueprints and engineering drawings scan on wide-format equipment, alongside bound books and newsprint, microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards, plus photo scanning for prints and slides. Double-feed detection keeps pages from slipping through, and scanned documents are indexed the way your staff searches. Paper can be securely shredded afterward.
