Using Technology to Organize Your Home

Everyone has had the problem where you‘ve placed a document in a special drawer or a file, or in a stack of papers for safekeeping, but when you go to look for it, it is nowhere to be found! 

While paper is commonly used around the world for important reasons, scenarios such as these present a reason to have an electronic copy on hand for all of your important information.


 Since our business documents are usually computer generated, we usually have a soft copy, if we need to duplicate a business proposal or memo. However, when you’re at home - it is easy to run into lost bills, documents and important notes. 

AirScan Mobile can help.  You can save all of your important documents to your handy iPhone, Android smartphone or iPad for safekeeping.  You can even share the documents through a variety of platforms like DropBox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Facebook and Twitter. 

Here are some helpful ways you can use AirScan Mobile to organize your home.

Grocery Lists
Have you ever gone through your refrigerator and cupboards savagely, making sure that you had everything on the grocery list? Then, you get to the grocery store and discover…guess what? You left the list at home.  

No worries! Call your family member and tell them to scan the list and send it to your phone. It’s just that simple!

Organize Bills
As you open your mail,  you can take a quick scan with the press of a button and have your account number, due date and payment amount easily organized in a folder on your iPhone. AirScan Mobile’s folder system allows you to get rid of that pile of bills sitting on the kitchen table,  eliminate all that data entry and keep your bills in one convenient place.  For bonus points, download your bank’s mobile app and use your phone to pay your bills!

Keep Track of Appointments
Have you ever gone to the doctor’s office and received an appointment reminder card? These papers can sometimes get lost in your car, mixed in with bills or accidentally thrown away. When you get home, do a quick scan of the appointment card and throw it away. 

Store Electronic Copies of Personal Documents 
It is always good to have an extra copy of your personal documents on hand, in case you need to prove your identity or apply for a new opportunity.  At the same time, security must be considered – and it is risky to keep personal documents, like your birth certificate, social security card, etc., on hand.  Scanning these important documents gives you the ultimate convenience of having your vital information with you, along with the safety of keeping these irreplaceable papers at home where they belong.

With the fast pace of technology, people now have the option of making their paperwork as mobile as they are. Available in the Google Play Store and the App Store,  AirScan Mobile app allows you to mobilize your important documents to making you a more resourceful and prepared parent, spouse and home manager.
