Cleardata, the largest single-site user of Kodak Alaris scanners in the UK, has become the first company in the country to install the ibml FUSiON document capture platform.
In addition to the ultra-high volume scanner, the company's latest investment includes additional Kodak i5850S production scanners under the first part of a two-year plan to invest a further £500,000 with Kodak Alaris, ibml’s lead distribution partner in the country.

Managing director, David Bryce, comments: "From day one we have continued to invest in high-volume capture solutions from Kodak Alaris to optimise our operations, boost our capability, improve productivity and offer higher value services.
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, we see our ongoing commitment to purchasing the very latest and best technology as a key differentiator for Cleardata.
"We handle lots of different document types, on mixed media and with varying levels of quality.
Kodak scanners have never let us down in terms of image quality, reliability and throughput, so we have never considered an alternative capture platform,” Bryce explained. “Our view was that conveyor belt scanners were best suited to environments dealing with ‘perfect’ paper documents, but we agreed to have a look at the FUSiON document capture platform and we were not disappointed.
"The technology is superb, we were extremely impressed both in terms of performance and the platform’s ability to handle many different document types.
Of particular note is the ibml iQpro image processing technology which optimises image capture for better accuracy of data extraction from images.
"We’ve worked with Kodak Alaris for a long time and have always been impressed not only with the high product quality but also with the excellent service we receive.
The addition of the ibml device to our fleet of Kodak scanners, backed by expert repair and maintenance services, will be a game-changer for the business.
We’re really confident that this latest investment will help us take the business to the next level."
Steve Keating, account manager for the Alaris division of Kodak Alaris, adds: "We have a long standing relationship with Cleardata and we are delighted they are our first UK customer to install the ibml FUSiON.
The platform perfectly complements the scanners from Kodak Alaris and is a perfect fit to support Cleardata’s ongoing growth, delivering additional capability with no compromise on quality."
Cleardata features on a number of public sector procurement frameworks, including Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and NHS England’s Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).
According to Bryce, 2020, in particular, has seen unprecedented demand for the company's digital mailroom services in response to Covid-19 lockdowns.
