Why Digitise Large Format Documents?

Secure Collection and Handling

Your large format documents are securely collected and transported to our Cardiff-based facility, where they are handled with care and confidentiality.

High-Resolution Scanning

We use specialist large format scanners to ensure accurate, detailed image capture, preserving all design elements and annotations.

Image Enhancement and Quality Control

Post-scan, we apply image enhancement techniques such as de-skewing, de-speckling, and contrast adjustment to deliver crisp, professional results. Each file undergoes thorough quality checks.

Indexing and OCR

Files are indexed for easy retrieval and can be processed using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for searchable PDFs, enabling quick access to specific information within the documents.

Secure Delivery

Digital files are securely delivered via encrypted transfer, USB, or hard drive. Cloud storage options are also available to enable remote access and collaboration.

At MDSS, we provide businesses with a smarter approach to document scanning. Our secure facility ensures that your records are protected, compliant with industry regulations, and accessible when needed—without breaking your budget.
