Scan & Shred is effective document management for the home or office, an efficient and organised solution that is easy to implement with little or no expense!

But it's not just about scanning and shredding, although they are key basics behind going paperless.

Many companies now offer "paperless" statements, a lot of internet sales are invoiced by email and there is so much that can be done electronically now days, however some stuff still has to be properly printed and possibly signed for legal reasons and there is a nice feeling when we get a personal letter or card in the post, that's unlikely to change anytime soon and we should accept there will always be some paperwork but if we can eliminate the bulk of it from our lives and we were able to adapt to not having paper copies of everything, then on the whole life could be so much better. Costs could be reduced, trees could be saved, less clutter would accumulate in our lives, therefore space could also be saved and of course there is the stress that could be saved!

The biggest hurdle is being able to adapt our habits to manage electronic documents correctly and optimise the time, space and information we have available. Scan & Shred is all about helping you to put an easily manageable system in place that you can trust and once you are comfortable with the process and the results you can then confidently dispose of the original documents that are not essential to keep.

embracing the Scan & Shred way could even make you heathier and wealthier in the long term

So what are the potential benefits of Scan & Shred?

Getting rid of those piles of letters, statements, receipts and bills etc. waiting to be read, paid, and filed or whatever else needs to be done with them, has to be the biggest benefit because half the time deciding what to do with them is usually the reason they haven't been dealt with.

It's simpler and cheaper than you think to manage a computer based storage solution for paperwork !

Aside from the obvious practical and security reasons behind scanning & shredding there is of course the important Green issues related to recycling the paper or indeed not using it in the first place, working towards a paperless life is also working towards a greener world.

Just imagine how many trees could be saved if everybody decided to recycle all the old boxes of paperwork we have accumulated in our lives!
