Nothing is as stressful as an external auditor asking for a specific document from 2021, while it’s sitting in an archive box at an external location. Manual searching in physical archives slows down the audit, causes unnecessary nerves, and hinders a smooth process.

With Merak’s scan on demand, you can rapidly digitize exactly the piece of evidence the auditor needs. In doing so, you transform a physical archive into an immediate digital resource.

A watertight process: From archive box to auditor
Our process is designed to provide you with maximum certainty during critical moments:

  • Simple request: Through our secure portal, you request the exact file or document the auditor requires.
  • Professional processing: Your requests are handled by trained professionals in our specialized facilities.
  • OCR & searchability: Documents are scanned using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). This makes the text fully searchable, allowing you to find the required information within the file in seconds.
  • Direct integration: Digital files are securely delivered to your inbox or integrated directly into your own DMS/ERP system, ready for presentation.
Speed when every minute countsDuring an audit, responsiveness is key to maintaining a professional impression:
  • The D+1 standard: Generally, requests made today are in your possession the next working day (D+1). This provides the peace of mind and predictability needed for worry-free archive management.
  • Custom urgency: Is there an absolute emergency during the audit? By marking a request as 'urgent', our team takes immediate action to get the digital document to you within a few hours.
  • Fast turnaround: If your file is already physically present at our processing facilities in Schelle or Meer, your request is typically processed the same working day.
Benefits for your next audit:
  • No unnecessary costs: Only digitize the specific evidence the auditor actually asks for.
  • Professional quality: Optimal readability and text recognition ensure you can answer questions immediately.
  • Agility: Remove physical barriers and demonstrate that your organization has its information management fully under control.
