Audit in progress? How to retrieve that specific 2021 document without breaking a sweat via scan on demand.
29 May 2026 - in Merak
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.
- 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.
- 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.
