South Carolina Department of Transportation digitizes 80+ years of maps and drawings with Docufree

The South Carolina Department of Transportation faced the challenge of preserving and managing over 80 years of fragile historical maps and drawings stored in a costly warehouse. These irreplaceable documents were disorganized, deteriorating, and difficult to access. They partnered with Docufree for a digital transformation solution involving document scanning and workflow process automation.

Docufree carefully digitized the vast collection of documents, customizing the output for the department's existing content management system. The solution implemented by Docufree successfully preserved the historical records forever and eliminated the need for a 30,000-square-foot warehouse, drastically reducing storage costs. It also resulted in dramatically faster, simpler access to documents for both staff and the public, greatly improving efficiency and enabling self-service research.
