Project Snapshot

Bill Miller BBQ Digitizes Approximately 500 Boxes Before Relocation

Bill Miller BBQ needed to convert a large volume of boxed records before a move. Southwest Solutions Group inventoried the boxes at the customer’s facility, transported them to the Lewisville scanning site, scanned the documents, and provided requested files on demand during the project.

Location San Antonio, TX

The document scanning project started at the customer’s facility in San Antonio.

Department Accounting and departmental records

The records included accounting files as well as boxes from other departments.

Solution Document Scanning

Southwest Solutions Group converted boxed paper records into digital files for easier access.

Products Used Document scanning project

The project focused on records digitization rather than a new physical storage system.

The Problem

A Move Created a Large Boxed Records Challenge

Bill Miller BBQ was preparing to move and had approximately 500 boxes of documents that needed to be scanned before relocation. The customer needed a practical records digitization plan that preserved access to files without moving the boxes into a new storage setup.

Before
01

Hundreds of Boxes Before Relocation

Bill Miller BBQ had approximately 500 boxes of documents from multiple departments that needed to be addressed before the move. Scanning the records before relocation helped the customer avoid moving the boxed files to a new location.

02

Physical Storage Would Require More Space

Keeping the documents in boxes would have required dedicated space in the new location or another storage system. The customer wanted to avoid spending money on new storage for physical records.

03

File Access Still Had to Continue

The customer still needed access to specific documents while the scanning project was underway. Southwest Solutions Group supported that need by providing requested documents on demand.

The Solution

Pre-Move Document Scanning for Boxed Business Records

Southwest Solutions Group completed a document scanning project for approximately 500 boxes of records. The team went to the customer’s facility, inventoried the boxes, transported them to the Lewisville scanning site, and scanned the documents. This records digitization approach helped Bill Miller BBQ preserve digital access without relocating the boxes or purchasing a new storage system.

Solution
Why the Process Fit

On-Site Inventory With Off-Site Scanning

Southwest Solutions Group came to the customer’s facility at the requested time, inventoried the boxes, and moved them to the Lewisville scanning site. The process matched the customer’s timing needs and provided a practical alternative to buying a new storage system for the documents.

Operational Improvements

Digital File Access Instead of Box Retrieval

After scanning, Bill Miller BBQ could access files digitally rather than relying only on stored paper boxes. The project also reduced the need to reserve space for physical file storage, allowing that space to potentially be used for another purpose.

Implementation

From Facility Box Inventory to Digital File Access

The implementation was organized around Bill Miller BBQ’s relocation schedule and the need to digitize a large boxed records collection. Southwest Solutions Group began at the customer’s facility, inventoried the boxes, transported them to the Lewisville scanning site, scanned the documents, and provided requested files on demand during the project.

01
On-Site Assessment

Inventorying Boxed Records at the Facility

Southwest Solutions Group went to the customer’s facility to review the boxed records and organize the project around the upcoming move. The work centered on approximately 500 boxes that needed to be scanned before relocation.

02
Secure Document Transit

Transporting Boxes to the Lewisville Scanning Site

After the boxes were inventoried, Southwest Solutions Group brought them to the scanning site in Lewisville. Moving the records into the scanning workflow supported the customer’s goal of avoiding file box relocation to a new storage area.

03
Document Prep

Preparing Records for Digitization

The documents were prepared for scanning so the boxed records could move through the conversion process in an organized way. During the project, the team also supported on-demand access when specific documents were requested.

Results

Digital Access to Records Before the Move

The completed document scanning project gave Bill Miller BBQ digital access to files that had been stored in physical boxes. It also helped the customer avoid relocating approximately 500 boxes of records into a new storage system.

Workflow

Requested Files Available Digitally

After scanning, the customer could access files digitally. Southwest Solutions Group also supported on-demand document requests while the project was underway.

Organization

Boxed Records Converted Into Digital Files

The scanning project reduced reliance on managing records only as boxes of paper. Converting the documents created a digital records resource that could be accessed without physical box retrieval.

Long-Term Value

Less Space Reserved for File Storage

Because the customer did not need to relocate the boxes into a new storage system, space that would have been used for file storage could potentially be used for another purpose. The project created value by reducing dependence on physical records storage after the move.
