Why Scan IT Africa
Specialist equipment, our own software, and more than two decades of experience
We use Wicks & Wilson scanners – world leaders in micrographic imaging – for their reliability and accuracy, alongside high-volume document scanners from manufacturers such as Kodak and Canon.
We also developed and wrote our own processing software. Before a project starts we survey your requirements and document flow, then shape the imaging system around the way you work – rather than asking you to change your systems to suit ours.
- Scanned to scale, checked for quality
- Indexed for fast retrieval from your desktop
- Delivered by email, on a storage device, or printed
Outsourcing your scanning
Why outsource instead of doing it in-house?
If equipment, training, staff time and floor space would cost more than an external bureau, outsourcing is the smarter choice.
No capital investment
Specialised scanners are expensive for once-off projects. Use ours instead.
Latest equipment
We keep investing in new technology so any type of paper or data can be converted.
A dedicated project team
Experienced staff assigned to your project – no training or extra overheads for you.
The format you need
PDF, TIFF (Group 4) or JPEG – indexed to suit the way you work.
Confidential & secure
Your documents are handled discreetly. We sign a confidentiality clause with every client.
Space, power & paper saved
Free up floor space, cut printing costs and shrink your environmental footprint.
Who we work with
Trusted by business, government and institutions
We have completed large, high-profile projects for clients including Transnet, Sasol, Eskom and Momentum – and we are just as happy to scan a single set of building plans for a homeowner.
