CASE STUDY

 

Why is records storage used?

 

The average file cabinet holds approximately eight boxes of files. Each file cabinet takes-up nine square feet of office floor space.  In Los Angeles County where office space costs an average of $20 per square foot annually, these eight boxes can cost you $180 to store or $22.50 per box per year.  The average cost to store a box at ARight STor is less than $5.00 per year.  This translates into a monthly box average of 42 cents for storage, plus service fees (indexing, retrieval, etc.).

 

Savings to your company per box is estimated at $17.50.

 

If files or boxes are retrieved the associated cost may still make economic sense to use offsite storage.  Normally customers request files in batches.  For example you need ten boxes or files.  For each box or file retrieved, the associated cost is about $6, which includes pulling and refilling.  Delivery is $25 for next day local service--making the total for retrieval and deliver at $85. Amortized over ten files or boxes, $85 divided by ten boxes = $8.50 per file or box.
