Resolution’s Daily Scanning Service Will Save You Thousands

In the current financial climate every penny counts which is forcing Local Authorities across the country look within to see where savings can be made without affecting front line services. A simple way of achieving savings is to focus on delivering core services and reducing the costs of ancillary services, such as inhouse scanning. Over 25,000 live applications per year are currently scanned and delivered using My Virtual Mail Room. 

Local Authorities across the country are each saving thousands of pounds per year by using My Virtual Mail Room. My Virtual Mail Room is a complete bureau service designed to provide Local Authorities with a hassle free alternative to inhouse scanning of live building control and planning applications.

With the ever increasing pressure for Local Authorities to scan and store paper applications electronically many are discovering the pitfalls when scanning themselves. Inhouse scanning requires significant capital expenditure to setup and high ongoing costs for equipment, software, personnel, training and quality control.

My Virtual Mail Room removes the need for Local Authorities to invest in their own systems and eliminates ongoing inhouse costs. Compared to inhouse scanning My Virtual Mail Room provides Local Authorities with Typical Savings of 52% .

After conversion applications will be returned in a method that suits your requirements, this can be as an electronic application though Submit-a-Plan or Planning Portal.
