Streamline Document Scanning With ScannerAgent
ScannerAgent integrates document capture directly into IFS workflows. Users can initiate scanning through a customized interface, configure scan settings, generate PDF documents, and upload the completed file into IFS Document Management.
The solution supports cloud-managed, private cloud, and on-premises deployment models, giving organizations flexibility around infrastructure, connectivity, security, and user experience.
The result: Fewer manual document handling steps, more consistent digital records, and a scanning process that fits naturally into existing IFS activity.
How ScannerAgent Works
ScannerAgent provides a guided process from document capture through to secure storage in IFS.
Start From IFS
A customized button or action initiates the scanning process from the relevant IFS screen or workflow.
Configure the Scan
The user selects the connected scanner and applies the required resolution, color, page, and document settings.
Create the PDF
ScannerAgent captures the pages and generates a digital PDF document for storage and retrieval.
Upload to IFS
The completed document is transferred securely and attached to the appropriate IFS Document Management record.

ScannerAgent combines scanning, document creation, connectivity, security, and support capabilities in one configurable solution.
Cloud & Desktop Deployment
Deploy ScannerAgent through a cloud-managed service, a customer-controlled cloud environment, or an on-premises desktop configuration.
Configurable Interface
Configure scan settings and add purpose-built buttons or actions within IFS to support specific document capture workflows.
Secure Document Upload
Use Microsoft credentials and Windows encryption capabilities to protect document transfers and maintain data integrity.
REST Support
