Method of and system for entering physical records into an electronic data store

Abstract

A system for entering physical documents into an electronic data store includes a host server system having a computer processor and associated memory, including the electronic data store, a data entry system including a computer processor and associated memory and a provider system including a computer processor and associated memory. The data entry system transmits instructions to the host server system to generate a token including destination information for physical documents being entered into the electronic data store. The host server system includes a token generation system for generating the token, the token including the destination information for physical documents being entered into the electronic data store. The host server system transmits the token to the data entry system. The data entry system generates a hard copy of the token and transmits an electronic version of the hard copy of the token to the provider system. The provider system receives the electronic version of the token, converts the electronic version back to the hard copy of the token, attaches the physical documents to be entered in the electronic data store to the hard copy of the token and electronically transmits the hard copy and the physical documents to the host server system. The host server system receives the electronic form of the electronically transmitted hard copy and physical documents, reads the token and enters the electronic form of the physical documents into the electronic data store based on the destination instructions.
