Tips for Document Storage in the Business World

Document storage

Managing your corporate documents effectively can provide you with easy access to necessary information, and ensure that your office remains uncluttered and easy to navigate. Depending on your industry, you may be required to maintain several years of business records to comply with federal and state regulations. Organizing your business documents can allow you to respond to regulatory demands and ensure frequently used items are easily accessible. Here are three tips for streamlining your business document storage process:

Maintaining Security

Choosing a storage solution that provides optimal safety for confidential documents can help you manage compliance issues and increase space in your working environment. DE Storage units are ideal for maintaining the safety of confidential documents. Employment and tax records, medical information and sensitive financial data must be protected against unauthorized access. With our individually coded gate system and security cameras you know that your records are safe at all times.

Ensuring Clarity

Storing your documents in boxes clearly labeled with their contents can help you retrieve necessary items quickly and efficiently. Typically, boxes should be organized according to record type and year. This can allow you to weed through documents more efficiently while maintaining required documentation. Storing newer documents toward the front of your storage unit can also save time in retrieving these items when necessary.

Optimizing Space

Metal shelving units and pallets can help you to make the most of the vertical space inside your storage unit and can allow greater organization of key materials. By moving paper boxes and documents off the ground, you can improve air circulation around these items.

Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, DE Storage is ideal for managing paperwork overload and can provide added space for organizing all of your necessary documentation. By choosing a facility close to your place of business, you can enjoy optimal efficiency when storing and retrieving your company’s confidential records.
