London Ontario Document and Records Storage

The Situation:

One of my favorite London organizations is the Alice Saddy Foundation, a non-profit organization who views all people as having the right to reach their fullest potential.

Earlier this year, they decided to reduce risk and storage costs. Their closed file boxes were spread throughout several home basements and a self-storage unit.  Out of sight and out of mind.

Actually, this is a very popular approach among our latest client membership – until they have to find the file. Then we get the call.

The Dreaded Task:

Going through all the boxes

Alice Saddy needed to decide what to keep and what to shred.  They needed a plan. They needed us.

The Trick:

Take the overwhelming task and break it down into manageable bits and bites.

We started with one basement.  We picked up banana boxes, bankers boxes, shoe boxes and food boxes – 75 in total and brought them back to our facility.  {insert second picture]

We provided an audit room and they provided Tom.

Tom had the task of documenting what was in each box. Document. Sort. Shred or Keep? 75 of those boxes were reduced to 25.  Management reviewed and approved the boxes marked “shred”.

It’s working… a work in progress…the storage unit is next
