OfficeDrop Offers Automatic Online Bulk Scanning Estimates and Self-checkout

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Interested in paper scanning and wish you could get a quick ballpark of what it would cost? As long as your paper is organized in either file boxes or filing cabinets, you can use our bulk scanning price estimator to get an accurate estimate of your price without ever talking to a representative. You can also get an accurate estimate as long as you have an idea the number of pages you have to scan (simply select the number of boxes or cabinets that add to your paper volume).

As Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character memorably said in Predator (1987) “My team works alone,” and we can respect that. For that reason we also allow you to order bulk scanning independently. Of course our sales and customer service reps are happy to help anyone interested in bulk scanning, but if you’re more of a do-it-yourselfer, you can bypass all human contact and order bulk scanning right from the estimator – don’t worry, you won’t hurt our feelings and we’ll still be available if you have any questions. You can even order DVD copies and choose secure shredding or return of your documents.

We aren’t trying to hide costs, and we want you to know what you’re paying for. When you use the estimator and self-checkout, the number you see is the number you pay. Granted the number of pages you submit is what you entered for your estimate, your billing is finished, and we won’t charge you for anything more.

Whether you’re just curious about numbers, prefer to work alone, or suffer from telephobia, OfficeDrop has an option for you. Use our estimator and self check out for the fully computerized experience.

Bulk Scanning Discount: Simplify Spring Cleaning With OfficeDrop

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Spring is just around the corner – a time of rebirth, renewal, rabbits, eggs (?), and of course, spring cleaning. We’re not sure why everyone decided spring was the time for cleaning – maybe to curb the excitement that stems from the culmination of winter – who knows?

If you find your office “celebrates” spring with an annual ritual of sifting through stacks of paper and ordering files in cabinets, we have a better, more permanent, way to handle your spring cleaning.

Bulk Scan your Paper with OfficeDrop (Discounted for Spring Cleaning)

Bulk scanning with OfficeDrop’s document scanning service is an easy way to get all your office documents organized online, and keep them that way. To help you celebrate spring cleaning, we are offering $20 off any bulk scanning order of $200 or more until the end of this month. If you’re going to be organizing your paper anyway, why not prep them for scanning and online storage where they can be filed, labeled and managed from any internet connection? All you have to do to prep your documents for online management is to attach documents of each category or label with a paper clip and label that stack. Then just pack them up in the pre-paid boxes we provide and mail them to our secure facility.

If you want, you can even send everything in no particular order in the box at all and organize it later from our convenient online portal. Once they’re all in the system, you can mail us your paper each month as if flows into your office. That way, come next spring, you’ll be able to enjoy the season knowing your documents are secure and organized with OfficeDrop.

How to get the Spring Cleaning Discount

Give us a ring when you place your order at 888-674-6493 and mention this spring cleaning discount. It’s that easy!

Remember, you must place and ship your order in March 2010 to receive this $20 discount, and your bulk scanning order needs to be over $200.

Count Your Documents: Open Shelving

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Estimating how many documents you have is the first step in starting to convert your paper documents. However, with paper hiding in all sorts of forms, it can be difficult to know how much paper is in each store. Here is the last of several posts to help you estimate the paper volume in your office.

Paper in Shelves

Some offices store paper in folders or files in open shelves. Like unbound paper, lengths of paper can be measured to estimate a page count. In this case, it is measured in horizontal feet, when pages are stored standing up.

Count Your Documents: Filing Cabinets

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Estimating how many documents you have is the first step in starting to convert your paper documents. However, with paper hiding in all sorts of forms, it can be difficult to know how much paper is in each store. Here is the next of several posts to help you estimate the paper volume in your office.

Filing Cabinets: The Office Storage Cliché

Filing cabinets have been the standard for paper storage for years. Use this guide to estimate how many documents are actually stacked in those drawers.

30″W  x  18″D  x  13″H    lateral drawer would contain 5,500 – 6,000 pages.

18″w  x  26″D  x  13″H    vertical drawer would contain 3,000 – 4,000 pages.

Online, DVD, USB, and Hard Drive: Finding the Best Storage Medium for Your Digital Documents

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

When you sign up with OfficeDrop document scanning service, we give you options as to where your data can be stored. In addition to online data storage, OfficeDrop provides data storage in the form of DVDs, USB memory sticks, and external hard drives. Options are great, but you may be wondering which one is right for you. Size, price, and storage methods will determine the best storage medium.

Here are some suggestions to make your document scanning service most convenient for you:

  • Online Database (Multiple Scale Storage)

We believe that storing your files online is by far the most versatile, time effective way to access your document images. Documents can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection, anytime, and don’t require any physical storage. Online storage is billed per month by page and you can store 3,000 pages for under $20 per month. We highly recommend online storage for any business but provide the following alternate storage options to meet consumer preferences.

  • DVDs (Small to Medium Scale Storage)

The average DVD can store around 5 gigabytes of document images (5,000 – 10,000 images). DVD storage is cheap and effective if your office is well suited to store DVDs, which are used infrequently enough that locating and storing disks doesn’t become most of your workday. Physically storing DVDs is relatively simple, as they can be stacked easily in just about any bookshelf.

  • USBs (Small to Medium Scale Storage)

The USB drives we provide have a capacity similar to a DVD, but are the more expensive choice. Extra costs for USB drives will pay off in their added durability, portability, and easier file sharing. If the data you’re storing finds itself being passed around a lot, a USB may be the more convenient choice for you. Storing a single USB drive is easy, but if you need more than a couple, locating the correct one right away in a drawer can be inefficient.

  • External Hard Drives (Large Scale Storage)

An external hard drive is a great choice for those huge document blocks that can’t fit anywhere else. An external hard drive is the recommended storage medium for storage projects that are 250 gigabytes and up. Pricing for hard drives is done by images, starting at $25 for 5,000 images with discounts for higher volumes. If you’re up to your ankles in DVDs or USB drives, it’s probably a good time to consolidate that information on an external hard drive. Over 50,000 images, an external hard drive almost always makes sense due to its ease of use and price. Storing all of your information in one place is organizationally sound as well as ideal for sharing a high volume of information over your network at once. External hard drives are also a preferred choice when security is a priority. External hard drives can be locked away physically if frequent access is unnecessary.

Hopefully we have helped you choose the document scanning service that is right for you. If you are still unsure of which method would work best for your business, feel free to contact us directly with questions via email or phone. At OfficeDrop, our aim is to make your digital document storage simple, easy, and affordable.

How envelopes are accounted in each billing cycle?

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

We have had some questions on how envelopes are accounted for each month and what the cut-off is for theEnvelope envelopes to reach us in a given month. Like most things OfficeDrop, we have tried to keep this as simple as we can.

Billing cycles are 1-month intervals based on when you sign up and/or when you upgrade (if applicable). So, if you signed up for OfficeDrop on Oct 4th, your monthly cycle will be from the 4th of each month to the 4th of the following month. Let us follow through this example.
Consider the billing cycle from Nov 4th to Dec 4th, for the Value Plan (which allows for 1 envelope per month), this is how it works:

  1. Every month, we replenish your envelopes such that you get them by the beginning of your billing cycle (Nov 4th). When you sign up for the very first time, we send you one additional set of envelopes so that you always have one set handy.
  2. Envelopes for that month, can be sent by you upto Dec 11th, allowing for a grace period of upto 1 week from the last date of your billing cycle (Dec 4). This is to ensure that someone who mails it on the last date of their billing cycle (Dec 4th), still gets a chance for the envelope to be counted for that month.

As long we receive your envelope between Nov 4th and Dec 14th, it will be counted for the cycle from Nov 4th to Dec 4th, and you will not be charged anything additional over what is covered by your plan.

Simple, right? We wish it were simple enough to not warrant a blog post, but hope this clears things up.
