Document Conversion Services in San Bernardino County, CA
Paperless Revolution provides document conversion across San Bernardino County from our Santa Fe Springs facility. Conversion goes past scanning: we index every document to the fields you search by, and key out the data itself where you need it, so an archive becomes something your staff can query instead of browse.
When Someone Else Sets the Deadline
San Bernardino County is the largest county in the contiguous United States, with dozens of municipalities, districts, and agencies inside it. Public bodies here field records requests, and public records requests come with statutory response deadlines that don’t care how your filing room is organized.
The same pressure exists in the private sector under a different name. An auditor’s document request, a DOT inspection, an insurance claim, a subpoena — all of them arrive with a clock attached. Indexing is what turns a two-week scramble into an afternoon.
What Indexing and Data Entry Actually Deliver
- Index fields you choose. Agreed up front, usually two to six per document type, applied consistently across the whole archive.
- Data entry from forms. Where you need the values rather than the image, we key them into a spreadsheet or a layout your system can import.
- Consistent file naming. A single standard across every file, so a folder listing sorts predictably instead of showing SCAN0001 onward.
- Optional OCR. Add optical character recognition and printed text becomes searchable inside the document as well. Indexing finds the file; OCR finds the line inside it.
Records We Convert Here
Permits and plan files, personnel and payroll records, accounts payable and receivable, shipping and carrier documentation, contracts and purchase orders, job and project files, patient charts under HIPAA procedures, and the mixed boxes that never fit a category.
Choosing the Index Fields
This is the decision that determines whether anyone uses the archive next year, and it’s worth ten minutes of thought before a box moves.
Capture what people actually search on. If requests always arrive as “the file for this address on this date,” then address and date do more work than eight fields nobody queries. We’d rather steer you to the right number of fields than the largest one — over-indexing costs money and slows the project without improving retrieval.
What Conversion Costs
Capture is priced per box, based on a standard page count per box — never per page. Indexing and data entry are quoted separately according to how many fields you need per document, because that’s what drives the labor.
Pricing capture by the box means most of the cost is knowable before we begin. You count boxes, we quote fields, and nothing lands as a surprise at the end.
Conversion here usually costs less than people expect. We run lean — a single facility, no regional offices, no layered sales organization — so our overhead is lower than the national firms and that saving goes to you.
Security and Handling
Every box is logged on arrival and tracked through capture, indexing, and quality control, all inside our own secured facility rather than at a subcontractor. Confidential material follows the same HIPAA-compliant chain-of-custody procedures we apply to patient records, whether or not the documents are medical. Originals are securely shredded with a certificate of destruction once you’ve verified the files, or returned for a return fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between scanning and conversion?
Scanning captures images. Conversion adds indexing and data entry so records are findable by the fields you search, and gives you the information as data where you need it that way.
Can you index for public records response?
Yes. Tell us how requests typically arrive — by address, by date, by parcel, by applicant — and we’ll index to those fields so responding is a search rather than a hunt.
Can you match our existing spreadsheet layout?
Yes. Send us the template and we’ll deliver in that format. Direct entry into a live system depends on what the system allows — tell us what you run and we’ll answer honestly.
Do we need OCR too?
Often not. Indexing gets you to the right document, which covers most retrieval. OCR earns its cost when you need to find a phrase buried inside a long document. It’s optional either way.
