80% Faster Turnaround with High Speed Scanning
A regional banking company with dual headquarters in two different states was challenged to find the best way to capture and centrally store loan documentation files. Previously, the bank had centrally scanned all commercial and consumer loan documents with low-speed desktop scanners. This caused various difficulties in the scanning process that slowed them down. The bank was able to achieve faster turnaround (80%) with high-speed digital document capture and scanning. This allowed them to not only achieve faster turnaround but also reduce their paper storage, improve data capture, and much more. Click here for our complete document scanning process.
Scanning Challenges
The bank’s previous low-speed scanning system caused several problems:
- Poor image quality: The scanner’s settings had to be manually manipulated each time to ensure optimum image quality for every type of document processed. This included everything from insurance certificates, titles, appraisals, and computer-generated forms. This both took a lot of extra time and resulted in inconsistent image quality across the board.

- Slow scanner throughput: Stopping the scanning process to manually adjust the settings took a lot of time. The bank’s old scanners were also not able to handle different types of documents, which resulted in jams. The bank had to rescan up to 20% of their work.
- Document preparation: Documents had to be physically sorted into document type and loaded into the back end system.
