Best Tabletop Scanner for Xero & Hubdoc 

Document scanning is an essential aspect of any business operations. It helps to keep the documents organised and secured, improves work efficiency and most importantly, it helps to save MONEY! A significant amount of time could be saved through document scanning instead of manual filings. Besides raising the productivity level of the workforce, having scanned and electronically stored documents will also allow your employees to be better prepared in the event of any emergency.

There are some more benefits of document scanning, such as:

  1. Transforming your hardcopies into readily searchable files
  2. Using OCR (optical character recognition) software eg. Hubdoc, to automate manual entries into an accounting system
  3. Saving money & reducing physical storage space

Tabletop Scanner!

You probably have a big and bulky photocopier machine which is also capable of scanning documents. However would you want to waste time walking up and down the office corridor, or would you want to waste time queuing up when here are other people using the machine?

Think about having a tabletop scanner that is conveniently sitting right in front of you, with the compact size of a tablet, and has the capability to convert your paper documents into electronic ones. Take a look and choose between 4 different models of scanners from leading industrial players – Kodak and Fujitsu. These tabletop scanners have the functions to perform OCR (optical character recognition), electronic filing, and more!

For a clearer picture of the key differences between both brands and what they have to offer, have a look at the table(s) below:
