FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chattanooga, Tennessee July 20, 2020: Headquartered in Chattanooga, Tenn., Coast 2 Coast has a robust list of available services, including as-built surveys, 3D laser scanning, 3D modeling, and reality capture. The company is partnering with archSCAN, a document-archiving company based in the Washington D.C. area.
Scott Aaron, Coast 2 Coast President, explained, “Coast 2 Coast does thousands of as-built surveys each year, and I know one challenge that seems universal for facility managers is document-archiving. They tell me they must keep both historical and new drawings for their spaces. Some plans are large-format paper documents, others are in a filing cabinet, and more can be found on someone’s computer if you know the filename. I’m excited to be able to offer a solution through our archSCAN partnership. They don’t just digitize documents; they organize it, create metadata, and make it searchable. It’s a real, sustainable solution for my facility management clients.”
Services from archSCAN include plan room organization and cataloging, document digitization, and document library services. The turn-key document management service is a strategic way to make and keep facility documentation viewable, shareable, and protected.
“Good electronic document management solves numerous issues for facility leaders. As younger generations become facility managers, they are looking to have all of their information on-demand and online. They do not want to look at old, dusty, dirty drawings in the plan room,” said Vivica Williams, archSCAN president. “Document retention becomes less of an issue once information is digitized and indexed. Additionally, the partnership with Coast 2 Coast means that leaders can identify and fill gaps in documentation, correct red-lines, and see where new as-built surveys are needed. It is a single location for the vast amount of information – it’s in the cloud and always available from any device.”
Sustainability and maintenance are critical issues for facility managers at universities, hospitals, municipal buildings, and in the private sector. The alliance represents the focus on client needs and solving the “greater problem” for both companies.
