Document scanning and increased internal efficiencies are just two ways that SDS have helped Weston-Super-Mare based Stephen & Co.

The situation

Established in 1928, chartered surveyors Stephen & Co. have an enviable business reputation throughout Somerset.  Stephen & Co. Director, Andrew Smith, explains their situation: “We will never
over inflate the value of a property in order to gain an instruction and we are confident enough in our advice not to tie Vendors into long contracts that they can’t get out of. We won’t make any promises we can’t keep and believe in absolute honesty.”

The SDS solution

Having moved to smaller premises Stephen & Co. workflow needed to be more efficient. SDS introduced a scanning and archiving solution which had immediate positive time and cost saving benefits.

The long-term benefits

Completed house sale records are compiled, copied, scanned and automatically archived in a unique folder. Customer details can be found easily – no more rummaging through paperwork records.  Misplaced files can be easily found using ‘Searchable Text’ making the retrieval of important documents effortless. Less storing of hard copy/paper folders, saving a serious amount of space
