ibml case study says Storetec cut document processing times with FUSiON scanners

ibml published a new case study on Storetec Services Ltd., showing how the UK document scanning firm used three FUSiON scanners to speed turnaround times, improve image quality and expand operational flexibility. The report says Storetec can now process 100 boxes in three to four hours and onboard new accounts in as little as one day.

Why it matters: - Storetec’s reported gains show how scanning infrastructure upgrades can help a records-management business handle more volume without major disruption. - Faster processing, fewer rescans and quicker onboarding can improve service levels for clients in regulated industries that depend on accurate document capture. - The case study points to a broader operational shift: automation and image quality tools can free staff to respond to demand spikes more quickly.

What happened: - ibml published a case study on Storetec Services Ltd., a UK-based document scanning and records management provider. - Storetec upgraded its primary scanning operations in 2023 to three ibml FUSiON scanners. - Storetec kept existing ibml DS scanners as backup systems. - The company serves customers in medical, insurance, engineering, legal, pharmaceutical and education sectors. - The new case study is titled “Storetec Enhances Efficiency and Growth with ibml FUSiON Scanners.”

The details: - The FUSiON scanners added advanced imaging, paper handling, automated data extraction, multi-stream output, dynamic image enhancement and real-time intelligence to Storetec’s production environment. - Storetec reported it can now process 100 boxes of documents in three to four hours. - Storetec also reported better optical character recognition accuracy and image clarity. - The company said the improvements reduced the need for rescans. - More than half of Storetec’s shop floor employees can operate the FUSiON scanners. - Storetec said new accounts can be configured and operational in as little as one day. - Craig Gardham, technical production manager at Storetec, said quick staff training on the FUSiON scanners has been invaluable. - Gardham said more than 50 percent of shop floor staff can use the scanners effectively, which helps the company prepare for high-demand periods. - The full case study is available through ibml’s website and covers Storetec’s challenges, implementation approach, reported results and expansion plans.

Between the lines: - Storetec’s results suggest scanner replacement can be about more than hardware refresh. The bigger payoff may come from easier staffing, faster workflows and stronger operational flexibility. - The emphasis on rapid onboarding and backup systems suggests Storetec is trying to stay responsive as client demand grows. - ibml is using the case study to showcase its scanners as a fit for high-volume environments where speed and image quality directly affect output.

What's next: - Storetec plans to use the system to support continued expansion, according to the case study. - ibml is making the report available on its website for prospects evaluating document scanning upgrades. - The company’s broader pitch centers on helping enterprises extract information from complex documents and accelerate decisions.
