Stop renaming Scan0124 and hunting for Tuesday’s delivery note.

Watches phone scans and printer scans, reads them, names them properly, and files them into the cloud store you already use — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, iCloud, or another.

Scan filing

We point it at the scan folders and the cloud storage you already use. Cloud-based — we can get you set up.

  • An hour back each week

    You stop renaming Scan0124

  • Named and filed

    Phone snaps and printer pages, put away

  • Your cloud store

    The folders the team already opens

  • No special app

    Staff keep scanning the way they already do

Staff and the flow

Staff scan as usual. Varlo names it.

Phone or printer — the same snap they already take. The mark sits between the photo and the folder you already open.

What comes off the week

Stops the hour lost every week renaming ‘Scan0124’ and hunting for last Tuesday’s delivery note.

  • Hunting for Tuesday’s delivery note

  • A printer tray that never gets filed

  • Another place to search

Savings and benefits

What scan filing gives back

Stops the hour lost every week renaming ‘Scan0124’ and hunting for last Tuesday’s delivery note.

  • The hour lost every week on naming and filing.

  • Phone snaps and printer pages land in the folder the team already opens.

  • Delivery notes, menus, and certificates stop living on someone’s camera roll.

What it does

Watches phone and printer scans, reads them, names them, files them.

The flow

  1. 01

    Staff scan as they already do

    Phone photo or printer. No special app.

  2. 02

    Read and named

    The scan is read and given a sensible name.

  3. 03

    Filed to the store you already open

    It lands in the folder the team already uses — whichever cloud storage that is.

Your cloud folders

Purchases, menus, compliance — the folders you already use.

Who it is for

Any hospitality office that still photographs paperwork or uses a printer-scanner — independents through to groups.

Phone scans and printer scans

The same watch covers photos from a phone and pages coming off the printer. Staff keep scanning the way they already do.

Read, named, filed

Each scan is read, given a sensible name, and put in the right folder. Delivery notes, menus, and letters stop living as Scan0124.pdf on someone’s camera roll.

Whatever cloud storage you already open

Files land where the rest of the business already looks — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, iCloud, or another. We connect the store you run. You are not adding another place to search.

A quiet time saver

Nobody enjoys filing. Doing it automatically is one of those jobs that disappears from the week and never comes back.

How it goes in

Stage by stage — not a six-month programme

The enterprise suites sell a long project and a project team. We walk the house, put the first module in, and you see it running. Then it is a monthly direct debit, and the next job waits until you need it.

  1. 01

    On site or Zoom

    Walk the house

    The week as it actually runs — till, diary, paperwork, who does what. We say what to put in first.

    You getA first module, not a shopping list.

  2. 02

    A cloud login

    Set up the first module

    Scan filing is the start on this page. We set it up around the house you already run.

    You getThe software in your week, not a classroom.

  3. 03

    A trial login

    See it for 48 hours

    Try it — or browse a system already running in a pub.

    You getYou see it running before a monthly debit.

  4. 04

    Recurring and modular

    Go live on monthly direct debit

    Pay monthly by UK direct debit for the modules you use. Extra modules are cheaper the more of the suite you run.

    You getOne module live. The rest wait.

  5. 05

    When you need it

    Add the next job

    Heating, paperwork, payroll, rooms, scans, contractors — the next pain, not the whole catalogue at once.

    You getThe week gets lighter, one job at a time.

That is the implement path. Not a project team, and not six months before anyone logs in.

Questions people ask

Do staff have to use a special app to scan?
No. They keep using the phone or the printer. The system watches those scans and does the naming and filing.
Do we have to move to Google Drive or Dropbox?
No. Use the store you already have. The connector files into the folders the team already opens — including systems not named on this page.
Is this the same as the invoicing product?
No. Scan filing is the general ‘read it, name it, put it away’ job. Goods-in is invoices, prices, remittances, and the books. Many operators want both.

We’ll set you up

Plans are modular and recurring, billed monthly by UK direct debit. We can get you set up. Extra modules are discounted the more you use.
