Document Data Capture and Indexing

/ Outsourced Document Management

Date Capture Services

Without the right information at the right time, decisions in a company can make or break opportunities in a competitive market. If your company has been dealing with data, you’d know that the process of capturing data and digitising them is a tedious and time consuming process. Data capture solutions and document scanning services provide an answer to this problem.

Data capture and document imaging usually refer to acquiring data from physical sources such as paper documents, forms, receipts, microfilms and photographs, and converting them to an electronic format. This is also known as electronic data capture(EDC).

Converting data from physical formats to digital forms is a complex process especially if the number of documents handled is large. Through document scanning and data capture services, it is possible to digitise large volumes of documents under short timelines.

getsix® Services has been working with customers of all sizes in managing their documentation needs of varying volumes. Prior to converting data, data is scanned by using high-speed scanners. The documents could be scanned in our offices (Off-Site) or at your premises (On-Site).

This data is then processed by using OCR (Optical character recognition) or ICR (Intelligent character recognition) and the resultant data is stored in our Microsoft SharePoint Document Management System. This can be retrieved anytime in the future.

Our data capture systems we cover these business areas:

1. Paper to image conversion – We can convert huge volumes of paper documents into digital images of various file formats. This can be further processed and can be stored in an archived database.

2. Data capture from coupons, vouchers and receipts – We can capture information from sales coupons, promotional vouchers and purchase receipts.

3. Check scanning and imaging – Checks and legal documents contain sensitive information that needs to be handled sensibly. Converting data from checks through OCR and ICR lets you to securely store and retrieve information from them anytime.

4. Forms capture – We can collect information from forms, convert them into images and store them in a database after processing.

5. Birth records, municipal records and town records data entry – We can enter and digitise data from public records like birth records, municipal records and town records. These can be archived and made searchable.

How long does it take to retrieve a document?

The getsix® Services document scanning service provides our customers with images of documents which they can instantly view on-screen. But how do they find those documents?

When looking for records on a database, staff would conduct searches using various reference numbers, customer names or date ranges. With the getsix® Services data capture and document indexing service, your staff will be able to use a range of similar terms to quickly pin down documents such as insurance claims, invoices or medical records.

With our document indexing services, we can index your scanned documents with a wide range of metadata, such as:

  • Document type

To add this data, we use a range of methods ranging from manual input to automatic methods such as zonal OCR, bar code recognition or database validation.

In addition, we can include a data validation stage to verify the integrity of index data such as account or policy numbers.
