Is your business struggling with storing, retrieving, or organizing your vast amounts of documents?
Maybe you’ve noticed the problem already and are planning on implementing a new, document management system.
Or perhaps you think things are fine the way the are, and don’t see the benefits that a document managing service can provide.
Well what is a document management system, exactly?
There are several types of document management systems, from electronic scanning to record storage and hard-copy offsite storage.
Hard-copies are still very relevant in today’s professional world—especially with many laws that still require them in certain industries including the law and medical fields. Keeping all those hard-copy documents organized can be extremely tedious and stressful.
An on-demand document retrieval service will store all your hard-copy documents in a secure, offsite location. They keep your documents organized and when you request them, can be retrieved quickly.
There are two major perks to any office when using a document management retrieval system:
- Your office increases efficiency
- Your office increases workspace
Increase Your Business Efficiency
Document management services that store your hard-copy documents offsite usually implement a barcode or other organizational method that allows for quickly locating and retrieving any desired hard-copy document.
Your office is probably not using any such feature.
The tediousness of locating documents, using them, making copies, and placing the documents back into their respective location takes valuable time out of your employee’s day.
Reliable Plant reports that “According to the National Association of Professional Organizations, paper clutter is the No. 1 problem for most businesses. Studies show that the average person wastes 4.3 hours per week searching for papers.”
But that’s not the only issue..
Sometimes, you cannot find the document you are looking for at all!
If your business has boxes and boxes of old documents piled, finding the right one can be a huge pain in the neck.
That is where an offsite document storage service can make your (and your employee’s) life that much easier.
Although every document storage service will vary slightly, most companies will allow you to request a specified document to be shipped to you, in its original or copied form, right when you need it.
Imagine the time that your employees would save!
And that’s just one of the benefits..
Increase Your Workspace
Your office space is valuable. Don’t waste that valuable workspace with boxes and filing cabinets filled with papers that rarely get used.
An on-demand document retrieval service stores your documents offsite and gives you access to your documents only when you need them.
Now you can convert that storage space into a bigger workspace for your employees.
Less clutter means more efficiency.
