Lo que dicen nuestros clientes Ce que disent nos clients What our clients say

★★★★★ 5/5 Google

What is a professional document scanning service?

Document scanning is a specialized service that transforms your bulky paper archives into secure digital files (PDF, TIFF) using high-speed industrial scanners. This technology, combined with optical character recognition (OCR) and artificial intelligence, makes your documents fully searchable by keywords and automatically extracts important data for your business software.

In Canada, document management multinationals like Iron Mountain or Access often impose complex contracts with numerous hidden fees (transport, box retrieval, monthly hosting fees) and very long processing times. With our local and affordable scanning service, you get transparent per-box or per-page pricing, including preparation, destapling, and AI indexing, for a fraction of the price and with no unpleasant surprises. For example, during a recent public tender for the City of Joliette, our proposal was $25,000, compared to $42,000 for the closest competing bidder, demonstrating our ability to offer superior quality service at a significantly more advantageous price.

Our digitization service is ideal for SMEs in Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick, law firms, medical clinics, accounting offices, and public organizations looking for a reliable and affordable alternative to industry giants, while guaranteeing the absolute security and confidentiality of their data.

How does a scanning project work?

Our document scanning process is designed to be transparent, secure, and fast. Here are the key steps of our service:

  1. Secure collection and transport: We pick up your archive boxes directly from your office.
  2. Document preparation: Our teams handle destapling, paperclip removal, and page cleaning.
  3. High-speed scanning: Your documents are scanned using industrial equipment for optimal quality.
  4. OCR and AI processing: Files are converted into searchable text and automatically named according to your criteria.
  5. Quality control: Each batch goes through rigorous verification to ensure compliance.
  6. Delivery and destruction: Your digital files are delivered, and we proceed with secure shredding or the return of your physical documents.

The advantage of our web platform

Unlike other providers, we provide you with an exclusive web platform. You can track and monitor the progress of your project box by box, download your files live as soon as they are ready, and obtain all traceability data compliant with BAnQ standards (Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec), CGSB standards (Canadian General Standards Board - CAN/CGSB-72.34), and federal requirements (PIPEDA).

Can a scanned document replace an original document?

Yes, absolutely. In Canada, a scanned document holds the same legal value as its paper original, provided it meets strict rules guaranteeing its integrity and authenticity.

For a digital file to legally replace the original, it must meet the following conditions:

  • Document integrity: The content must not have been altered during scanning.
  • Readability: The resolution and image quality (DPI) must allow for clear reading of all information.
  • Traceability and security: It must be possible to prove how, when, and by whom the document was scanned and stored.
  • Compliance with standards: The process must align with provincial and federal requirements (CGSB, PIPEDA, BAnQ).
  • Traceability of destruction: If the original is destroyed, this process must be documented in a secure and irrefutable manner.

The Clemento Guarantee

Our industrial processes, rigorous quality controls, and traceability platform ensure that every document scanned by us can legally replace your paper original. You can therefore proceed with the secure destruction of your physical archives with complete peace of mind, while remaining 100% compliant during an audit, inspection, or legal dispute in court regarding the document's validity. Additionally, we provide an official certificate of destruction to ensure complete end-to-end traceability.

State-of-the-art equipment

How do we guarantee such high-quality, high-speed document scanning?

To achieve flawless image quality and 100% reliability, we don't use simple office scanners. Our production center is equipped with state-of-the-art commercial and industrial scanners, such as the renowned Kodak Alaris i5200V.

  • Speed and precision

    Ability to scan hundreds of pages per minute while applying real-time image corrections (deskewing, cropping, blank page removal).

  • Anti-double feed technology

    Ultrasonic sensors detect the slightest double feed, ensuring that absolutely no page of your archives will be missed or skipped.

  • Perfect clarity for OCR

    Superior optics produce sharp, high-contrast images, essential for accurate and error-free data extraction (OCR) by our AI systems.

Automated and Secure Processing of Mail-in Ballots

With the rise of mail-in voting, processing speed and accuracy have become crucial for municipalities and election agencies. Our technological solution automates the verification of ballot envelopes, significantly reducing human resource requirements while increasing efficiency by 95%.

While a standard election clerk can manually process about 50 envelopes per hour, our automated process can verify up to 1,000 in the same timeframe. Our approach delivers speed, accuracy, and security:

Lightning speed

Ultra-fast scanning of both sides of the envelope upon receipt for immediate processing.

Unmatched accuracy

Intelligent extraction and comparison of signatures directly against the voter registration database.

Maximum security

Reduced human handling, physical printing of a timestamp on each envelope, and detection of out-of-jurisdiction anomalies.

How our authentication process works

  1. Scanning and traceability: Mailed-in envelopes are scanned (front and back) and a timestamp with a sequence number is physically printed on each one.
  2. Signature analysis: Our specialized software automatically captures the signature on the envelope and compares it to the voter registry to generate a match score.
  3. Intelligent sorting: Based on the score, the signature is either automatically validated or flagged for additional human visual verification.
  4. Data export: Validated information is securely exported to the election management software.

Important note on confidentiality

Our process is strictly limited to the secure authentication of the outer envelope. The envelopes are never opened by our systems, and no votes are recorded at this stage, thereby guaranteeing absolute ballot secrecy.
