Before & After Tour
Before
Does this picture look familiar? Are you using a self-storage unit or units to store your records?
Do you have to retrieve files from the units? If so, then you know that the post-it note is
accurate. To make the most of the storage space, boxes are stacked as high as possible,
regardless of how much it crushes the boxes and their contents on the bottom of the stack.
In addition, storage units are seldom organized in a manner that will allow you to get to
the box you need without having to move many more boxes than necessary to get to it. All
of that work is done in an environment filled at the least with spiders and bugs, possibly
mice. The dust and dirt gets on your clothing and hands with no place to wash up before
getting back in your car to drive back to work. Not to mention the fact that you are either
sweating profusely or freezing by the time you are finished. Meanwhile, the real work that
you need to accomplish is going undone back at the office.
After
This is a picture of the Records Management Services facility. Shelving is setup in order
to create the maximum use of space. Boxes are stacked only as high as they can be without
crushing and still maintain easily accessibility for any box, should the need arise.
Locations are numbered and bar coded with the information linked to every box at that
location to make finding the correct box a snap. A simple call to us will start the process
of pulling your box and bringing it right to your desk. What took hours in a self-storage
unit, leaving you tired, stressed, dirty, hot or cold, and behind on your work, now becomes
a two minute phone call. Let Records Management Services do the work! And, by using the
maximum space available, we can do it for less!
