A lot of people have been asking us, “What makes you different?” Our
answer is two fold:
 |
We’ve applied technology to what was essentially a
bricks and mortar business, making the customer experience the best in
the industry. |
|
Our shredders are among the most sophisticated, and therefore the most
secure, of any document destruction provider in Atlanta or in all of Georgia. |
No other document destruction provider has applied technology to the extent
we have.
When one of our uniformed security specialists comes to your site to make
a pickup or to shred onsite, they scan all the bins that have been emptied,
noting the bin location, paper volume, time and date. Recording this activity
helps us ensure that all of your bins are serviced when they are supposed to
be. The security specialist will also obtain a signature from your company’s
document destruction witness--or their designee. This information, including
the signature, is captured electronically via the driver’s handheld palm
pilot. The signature will be printed on both the Certificate of Destruction
and the invoice, and the other data will be captured and stored on our secure
server. The result is that we have a complete record of the chain of custody
of your documents—through destruction.
You can log into our secure website
and view all the analytics regarding your document destruction activity. You
can see how many bins you have, validate which ones have been serviced, view
and print invoices and Certificates of Destruction. No more simply getting
an invoice at the end of the month and wondering whether or not your bins were
emptied and if you are spending the right amount of money on document destruction.
We extend the visibility of the document chain of custody for our customers.
Older generations of mobile document destruction
vehicles employ pierce and tear technology. This type of technology, on occasion,
may produce unusually large particle sizes. In fact, whole checks have been
known to pass through the shredder untouched. Our vehicles tear the document
at the fiber level into much smaller pieces. In fact our trucks can easily
change the screen size within the shredding system. That means we can adjust
the resultant particle size of the shredded material. A two inch screen yields
a particle size of about a quarter--small enough to be secure and yet large
enough to enable recycling. By contrast, the FBI requires a three quarter inch
screen size which yields a particle size of almost powder. This powder is too
small to recycle, but is extremely secure.
 Many shredding trucks can handle 800 pounds of documents an hour. Our trucks
can handle 4,000 pounds per hour. That saves you time and thus money. We can
also easily shred computer printouts, phone books, manuals and other items
that some shredders cannot handle.
