How HTF Aerospace Digitized Client Records for Efficiency and Security
HTF Aerospace, established in 2010 and headquartered in Encinitas, California, is a distinguished supplier of spare parts and raw materials to both commercial and military aerospace sectors. Specializing in sourcing hard-to-find components, HTF Aerospace has earned its reputation as the "special forces in the aerospace supply chain," dedicated to helping customers sustain aging vessels for extended safe operations.
The Challenge
HTF Aerospace maintained extensive client records detailing the parts supplied to various aerospace firms. These paper-based records occupied significant physical space and posed challenges in terms of quick retrieval and management. The reliance on manual processes for accessing information led to inefficiencies, prompting the need for a digital transformation to enhance operational workflows.
Our Solution
To address these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive document digitization strategy:
Secure Collection: We organized the pickup of all client records from HTF Aerospace's facility, ensuring the safe handling and transportation of sensitive documents.
High-Quality Scanning: Utilizing advanced scanning technology, we converted the paper records into searchable PDF files. This process included Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to facilitate quick and accurate text retrieval.
Secure Remote Repository: Post-scanning, the digital files were uploaded to a secure, remote repository. This platform provided authorized HTF Aerospace personnel with easy and immediate access to client records, enhancing data accessibility while maintaining confidentiality.
Confidential Shredding: Following the successful digitization and verification of the records, all physical documents were securely shredded in compliance with data protection regulations, ensuring that sensitive information was irretrievably destroyed.
