Our Process:

#

We will provide flatpack boxes along with barcodes on arrival at your site. SDS staff will scan the barcode on each box into their handheld scanner. The scanner will contain a complete record of all boxes leaving the current storage facility for transportation to the SDS storage depot. A work order will be dated, timed and signed by the SDS driver and an approved member of your team – we’ll also leave a duplicate copy of the order with your company.

#

Once your documents have been transported to a secure depot, our operatives will lift and scan each box into its storage location. A full set of data will be downloaded from the scanner into the SDS system. All boxes will be recorded as ‘In’ and will be immediately available for retrieval. We’ll send you an inventory report to confirm how many boxes are at SDS.

#

The requests for retrievals will be received via email or the SDS online ordering system: our staff will locate the boxes within the warehouse, then scan them as ‘Out’.

#

An SDS driver will deliver your files. A work order will be signed off by both parties, completing the secure document storage process.

"Let me thank you once again for the fantastic service you provide. You always listen to our needs and doing everything possible to help us – sometimes with very little notice. "Just recently you delivered a high volume of files in time for an urgent review, and your warehouse staff really went the extra mile in December, when SDS had a Christmas event on and we submitted an urgent request just after the cut-off time. They stayed to help us even though it made them late, and we really appreciated that."
