Scanner Bin - The Clever Document Scanning Solution
Brand: Scanner Bin
Color: brown
Change your organizational process and bridge the gap between your smartphone and a flatbed scanner with a simple accessory!
The Scanner Bin is a carefully designed stand that works with your smartphone to scan documents.
When it's not used for scanning, it serves as a bin to hold the papers that you want to scan later. And, it's designed to look nice in any office.
It eliminates the common problems with scanning documents by consistently aligning your phone to the paper, controlling the lighting, and holding paper flat.
It is the most useful, sturdy, and inexpensive smartphone stand you can find.... but it's more about the process than the product. It's the process of really getting organized.
The Process:
Place the Scanner Bin under your desk
Toss everything that you might need to scan into the bin through-out the week
Each week, scan everything in a single session (batch scanning)
Use that opportunity to shred documents, organize bills, keep track of receipts, budget, remote deposit checks, register for product warranties, etc.
Don't forget to give others access to where you store the scans, if needed (spouse, partners, office staff, etc.)
