OUR DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

As with any service the obvious question is “how much is this job going to cost?” To answer that question we have to evaluate many variables, and consider all aspects of the scope of work. We want to simplify this as much as we possibly can, and help you determine a general overview of costs and the considerations you will need to make to complete your scanning project.

As you will see in our examples, a typical scanning project will cost between $0.06 – $0.10 per image, and there are instances when you may want to have work done on an hourly basis as opposed to a per image basis. Every document scanning business varies on their pricing, but generally it is based on the prep work, turnaround time, and the volume. The more staples, paperclips, various sizes and unorganized documents the higher the price will usually be. Below is a brief overview of our scanning services and the different variables.
