Blue Crane Solutions

Twenty years of paper, searchable.

The records exist. They are in a basement, in bankers boxes, in no order anybody remembers. That is fine right up until an audit, a claim or a lien question needs one specific page from 2011.

The grind

  • Bankers boxes nobody can search
  • Closed jobs whose only records are on paper
  • Old scans that are images, so the text inside them may as well not exist
  • An audit or a claim that needs one document from a decade ago

What we build

Bulk conversion

Legacy paper and old image-only scans processed at volume, not one page at a time.

Real searchability

The text inside the documents becomes searchable, so you find the page rather than the box.

Indexed and organized

Records come back sorted in a structure that matches how your company actually refers to them.

Documents you own

Finished records are ordinary PDFs. They live wherever you want them and they open in anything. Nothing is trapped in a proprietary reader.

What it replaces

  • A storage unit you pay for and never open
  • Sending somebody to the basement for an afternoon
  • Rescanning the same document every time it is needed
  • Hoping the one copy that matters did not get wet

Who it is for

Established companies with a decade or more of history on paper, anyone facing an audit or a claim that reaches back years, and businesses being sold or handed down where the records have to be intact.

What week one looks like

  1. We look at a sample of what you actually have, because a box of invoices and a box of drawings are not the same job.
  2. You get a page count and a real price before anything ships anywhere.
  3. A first batch comes back so you can check the structure before the rest is committed.
  4. The remainder runs, and you get your PDFs.

What it costs

Runs on Blackbox at $59/month for 3,000 pages. Larger archives are quoted on volume.
