Request A Scan

Simple, Fast, Cost-Effective

On-demand document scanning services gives you the flexibility of digital access without the upfront cost of bulk scanning. Here's how it works:

1

Request

Submit a request through our client portal, by phone, or by email. Be as specific as possible—file name, box number, date range, or description—like "the pink odometer statement from deal #11-98754 in Carton 12345765 in the November deals file"—and we take care of the rest..

2

Retrieve

Our team pulls the carton and locates the document in your stored archive. Your records are indexed and organized, so retrieval is fast.

3

Scan

We scan documents on demand at high resolution, ensuring quality and legibility to your specifications.

4

Deliver

Receive your documents securely, typically to your client portal—or preferred method (email, or via FTP)—often in as little as an hour. If the on-demand document scanning request includes forwarding the document to another party, we handle all of that for you.

5

Store

The physical document returns to secure offsite records storage—protected, organized, and available whenever you need it again.

6

Shred

When documents reach the end of their retention period, we handle certified shredding and destruction—no need to scan documents that were never accessed.

⏱ As little as one hour.

Most on-demand scanning services requests are completed same-day. Oftentimes faster than searching through all your digital files yourself.

Document Scanning FAQs

Is it more cost‑effective to scan everything or use scan‑on‑demand?

Scan-on-Demand is more cost-effective than bulk scanning an entire archive upfront for most businesses. High-volume document scanning is priced per box, which adds up fast across a large archive, while on-demand scanning charges only for documents actually requested.

Can Corodata help me decide whether to scan everything or only scan on demand?

Corodata's records management team can help determine whether to scan an entire archive or use Scan on Demand, evaluating factors like access frequency, retention requirements, and budget. Most businesses find a hybrid model works best. Using this approach, a business stores the full archive, scans documents as they're needed, and shreds records once retention ends.

How does Corodata maintain compliance with industry regulations like HIPAA, FACTA, and FDA?

When businesses need medical records storage solutions, Corodata's scanning services are built to meet HIPAA, FACTA, FDA, and SSAE 18 requirements. Access rights can be set for individuals, and every document access is logged and tracked, giving businesses a complete audit trail to support compliance in regulated industries like healthcare.

What if my documents are fragile, oversized, or damaged?

Corodata handles fragile, oversized, and damaged documents with extra care during scanning, including materials like blueprints, ledgers, photographs, and X-rays. Preparation and scanning methods are adjusted to protect materials that may be delicate or irreplaceable, ensuring a quality digital image without risking further damage to the original.

How are scanned documents delivered to me?

Scanned documents are delivered to CoroVault, Corodata's secure online records center, where authorized users can access them from any device. Documents can also be sent by email or FTP, and Corodata can forward files directly to a third party on request.

What file formats can my documents be delivered in?

Documents scanned by Corodata are typically delivered as high-resolution, searchable digital files, most commonly PDFs. Specific format requirements can be accommodated depending on how a business needs to store, search, or integrate the files into its existing systems.

Can I combine scanning with offsite records storage?

Corodata's document scanning services can be combined with offsite records storage as part of a hybrid records management strategy. With this hybrid approach, frequently accessed documents get scanned for digital access, while inactive or long-retention records stay securely stored offsite. This keeps costs down while ensuring quick access to the records that matter most.
