Digital records management is the systematic process of converting physical documents into searchable digital files, organising them within a document management system, and applying retention and disposal policies aligned to legal requirements — such as KRA's 5-year rule and the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019.
We charge KES 15–20 per page for professional scanning and OCR processing. Project-based pricing starts from KES 50,000 for a complete digitisation engagement. We provide a specific quote after an initial site assessment — contact us for a free estimate.
Paperless-ngx is a powerful open-source document management system providing full-text OCR search, automatic tagging, access controls, audit trails, and version history. We use it because it delivers enterprise-quality DMS features at zero software licence cost — making it accessible to SMEs, NGOs, and government offices who cannot afford proprietary systems.
A complete end-to-end engagement — audit, physical organisation, digitisation, and Paperless-ngx setup — typically takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on volume. The digital registry itself is configured and live within 2 to 3 days. We give you a specific timeline in your written proposal.
Yes. Digi Records Consulting Ltd is a registered Data Processor under the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) in Kenya. We sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before handling any client records, and all client data is hosted on Kenyan cloud infrastructure — keeping you fully compliant with DPA 2019.
Yes. Our founder has direct public sector experience in the NG-CDF environment — we understand government accountability requirements, OAG audit expectations, and PAC/PIC documentation standards from the inside. We serve both NG-CDF constituency offices and county government departments.
Yes — we accept M-Pesa, bank transfer, and cheque. We require a 50% deposit before work begins and the balance on project completion. Monthly retainers are paid in advance via M-Pesa standing order or bank transfer.
