Filing & admin

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

Scan filing

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

What you save

  • The hour lost every week on naming and filing.

  • Phone snaps and printer pages land in the right Drive or Dropbox folder.

  • 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 Drive or Dropbox

    It lands in the folder the team already opens.

The software running

Dashboards, lists, alerts — cropped from the live kit

Anonymised as The Oak. Enough chrome to see it is real software. Not every screen, and not your data.

Drive or Dropbox

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.

Google Drive or Dropbox

Files land where the rest of the business already looks — Drive or Dropbox — so 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.

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.
Drive or Dropbox — do we have to switch?
Use the one you already have. The point is to file into the folders the team already opens.
Is this the same as the invoicing product?
No. Scan filing is the general ‘read it, name it, put it away’ job. Invoicing is the supplier-price and accounts pack. Many operators want both.
