Sort, File and Box Services in Hertfordshire
Sorting, filing, and boxing archive documents can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive task, particularly for organisations managing large volumes of paper records. Without a clear structure, archives can quickly become difficult to manage, retrieve, or prepare for scanning, storage, or disposal.
ADS offers a bespoke Sort, File & Box service designed to bring order and consistency to your document archives. Our trained staff attend your premises and work under your instructions to systematically sort, categorise, file, and box your documents according to your preferred structure, retention policies, or operational requirements.
This service helps organisations prepare archives for digitisation, off-site storage, or secure shredding, while ensuring documents are organised and clearly labelled for future access. By outsourcing this process, your team can continue focusing on their day-to-day responsibilities without disruption, while gaining a well-structured, manageable archive that supports efficiency, compliance, and long-term document control.
- Saves valuable staff time: Outsourcing the sorting and filing of archives allows your team to focus on their core responsibilities, without being tied up in manual document organisation.
- Creates a structured and manageable archive: Documents are organised according to a clear, logical system, making files easier to locate, retrieve, and manage in the future.
- Prepares documents for scanning, storage or shredding: A properly sorted and boxed archive ensures documents are ready for the next stage, whether that’s digitisation, off-site storage, or secure disposal.
- Supports compliance and retention requirements: Documents can be sorted in line with retention policies, helping organisations manage records responsibly and reduce compliance risks.
