Core Records Competencies

What Your Scanning & Filing Specialist Executes Daily

Delegate tedious image processing, nomenclature compliance, and digital sorting to full-time professionals so your fee-earners stop hunting for missing files.

OCR & Image Post-Processing

  • Running high-fidelity Optical Character Recognition (OCR) across raw image scans to make all text instantly searchable
  • Deskewing tilted pages, cropping dark scanner borders, and removing punch-hole artifacts
  • Correcting page orientations (auto-rotating inverted pages across 500+ page document batches)
  • Converting scanned files into standardized, ISO-compliant PDF/A format for long-term digital preservation

Nomenclature & Standardized Renaming

  • Renaming cryptic scanner outputs (scan00124.pdf) into strict company-wide naming schemes
  • Enforcing ISO 8601 chronological date conventions (YYYY-MM-DD) for consistent chronological sorting
  • Tagging documents with standardized client IDs, vendor names, case numbers, and document categories
  • Eliminating illegal characters, double-spaces, and filename length limits that break cloud syncing

DMS & Cloud Folder Sorting

  • Organizing scanned files into structured directory trees across SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive, or Box
  • Assigning custom metadata properties, department tags, and searchable taxonomy labels
  • Identifying and eliminating duplicate files using hash-checking and manual visual audits
  • Managing access permission levels so sensitive HR or executive files remain restricted

Legal Bates Stamping & Splitting

  • Applying sequential Bates numbering and custom case prefixes to discovery productions
  • Splitting multi-document bulk scans into discrete exhibits, agreements, and correspondence files
  • Generating hyperlinked PDF bookmarks and interactive tables of contents for court trial binders
  • Performing permanent redactions on Social Security Numbers, bank accounts, and confidential PII

Receipt & AP Invoice Filing

  • Monitoring scanning inboxes, receipt drops, and vendor portals for incoming accounts payable bills
  • Extracting vendor name, invoice date, due date, PO number, and line item amounts into Dext or Hubdoc
  • Filing receipts into corresponding monthly accounting folders for smooth CPA year-end audits
  • Attaching digital invoices directly to matching transactions in QuickBooks Online or Xero

Retention Schedules & Purging

  • Auditing repository dates against company statutory retention policies (e.g., 7-year IRS requirements)
  • Flagging expired files for review, authorized destruction, or cold-storage archiving (AWS Glacier/Azure)
  • Maintaining verified destruction logs for compliance audits and legal hold verification
  • Compressing giant TIFF/PDF files without losing legibility to reduce costly cloud storage tiers

Commercial Litigation

"We had over 40,000 pages of scanned documents from multiple third parties with chaotic file names. SageDoer's team ran OCR on every file, performed flawless Bates stamping, bookmarked exhibits, and organized everything into our litigation file hierarchy. Saved our paralegals over 120 billable hours."

Commercial Real Estate

"Managing leases, vendor W-9s, building permits, and property tax bills across 28 properties was impossible when everything sat in random shared folders. SageDoer audited our entire Google Drive, applied a bulletproof naming taxonomy, and filed 8,000 documents in two weeks."

Tax & Accounting

"Tax season used to drown us in client photos of 1099s, paper receipts, and unreadable K-1s. Our SageDoer VA runs every scan through Dext, standardizes the file names, and attaches them to QuickBooks transactions. Our CPAs spend their time preparing returns rather than renaming PDFs."

Frequently Asked Questions About Scanning & Filing VAs

Everything you need to know about remote document processing, security protocols, OCR tooling, and file taxonomy governance.

Your office staff simply places batches of paper into your existing office scanner, multifunction copier, or ScanSnap device set to auto-upload to a designated cloud "Drop Inbox" (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive). Once the raw scan lands in the folder, your SageDoer Virtual Assistant immediately takes over: running OCR, deskewing, splitting multi-page bundles, renaming files according to your taxonomy, tagging metadata, and moving them into their permanent destination folder. Your on-site team never wastes another minute manually renaming or filing.
We enforce enterprise security standards across every engagement. All assistants operate under strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Access to your repositories is managed via secure role-based permissions, enterprise single sign-on (SSO), or encrypted password managers (like 1Password or LastPass). Assistants work directly in your cloud environment without downloading files to local drives, and all sessions are tracked with verified screenshot activity.
Yes. Our specialists are highly proficient in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Kofax Power PDF, and ABBYY FineReader. They can apply sequential Bates numbering with custom case prefixes, create hyperlinked exhibit bookmarks, remove duplicate pages, and permanently redact sensitive PII, SSNs, or proprietary trade secrets to court-ready standards.
Your dedicated Project Manager acts as your single point of operational contact. During onboarding, the PM documents your folder hierarchies, naming conventions, and software credentials. On a daily basis, the PM inspects indexing accuracy, audits OCR searchability, verifies time logs, and handles any workflow adjustments. You pay strictly for your assistant's pure working hours ($6 or $7/hr)—PM oversight is provided completely free of charge.
Absolutely. In addition to steady daily maintenance, we specialize in high-volume legacy migrations. Whether you have 10,000 unindexed PDFs on an internal server or a messy Dropbox folder filled with duplicate scans, we can assign full-time specialists supervised by your PM to systematically digest, rename, OCR, and sort your entire backlog.
Because your dedicated Project Manager maintains comprehensive SOPs of your filing rules and naming conventions, SageDoer provides seamless coverage. If your primary specialist is ever unavailable or if your scan volume surges during an audit, we deploy qualified internal replacements immediately with zero disruption to your workflow.
