One-Time Fee: Opt for a one-time payment for a more affordable and straightforward billing option, covering the entire project at once.
Monthly Payments: Benefit from financing by spreading the total cost over monthly payments, making budgeting easier while still receiving comprehensive services.
Split Work and Payments: Choose to split the project into phases, allowing work and payments to be distributed over a longer period, providing flexibility and easing financial planning.
PROSCAN® understands that some clients prefer to keep their documents onsite, and we can provide on-site scanning if requested by the customer.
Additional travel and setup fees will be associated with onsite scanning and can be quoted based on individual job requirements.
In order to accommodate on-site scanning, our customer service professionals will need an area where they can set up. This area must provide adequate workspace, lighting, electrical outlets, and often an internet connection. We ask that all the material already be staged in the space for our customer service professionals. If you require our help moving and/or staging the materials, we would be happy to help, but there will be separate labor charges associated.

However, the lady that helped me was rushed and unfriendly and promised to send the destruction certificate once the printer was working again, but didn't. I don't like it when people don't follow through. Have used them twice in a year and I recommend them. read less

They brought a truck to our office to shred about 2 dozen boxes of filing at once. At every stage it is quick and painless, and the price is reasonable. I do recommend having your documents in boxes. I plan to keep working with them! read less
