When Flatbed Scanning is NOT Enough
Legastat utilises OPEX® scanners to restructure the prep and scan process
The Background
Legastat has over 25 years of experience delivering high-speed and high-quality imaging and indexing services to law firms, government departments, commercial organisations, and legal chambers in Central London. Originally founded for photocopying, Legastat began offering scanning and indexing services in the early ‘90s as demand began to shift. Their hard copy scanning and indexing services are ideally placed to overcome the limitations inherent in processing and managing paper either in litigation or for archiving purposes.
The Challenge
Key Challenges
Demand for document scanning grew rapidly (government contract for e-disclosure)
Current scanning process is very labour intensive
Need higher quality document scans
The Solution
In 2017, Legastat’s General Manager, David Collings, set out to look for a better solution. After discovering OPEX® online, Legastat invested in a Falcon® scanner that increased their productivity and massively decreased their need for quality control while decreasing the number of staff by 50%. The company was now able to process any type of document in any condition faster than before. What previously took around 10 hours to complete could now be accomplished in about 20 minutes with minimal quality control. Legastat was also able to increase productivity from 1-2 files per day to 8-15 files per day. As a result, they have been able to provide superior customer service to their clients.
Key Results
8x
Increase in productivity
50%
Reduction in labour
99%
Reduction in number of re-scans
“It would have been so much harder without OPEX®.”

The Future
By implementing the One-Touch scanning process, Legastat has increased productivity and efficiency throughout their business. With the ability to handle a wide variety of document types, they are prepared for a broader spectrum of clients in the future. As their business continues to grow, Legastat is exploring the option of adding additional Falcon scanners to allow their staff to focus on other parts of the business.
