Retail Chains

Retail chains have some real challenges when it comes to dealing with the destruction of confidential information. Employee applications, customer credit applications, and other documents contain information that is very sensitive and if not disposed of properly can create enormous liability exposure for the corporation. In addition, there is always the issue of corporate compliance at the store level.

The security experts at UNISHRED designed the ShredBox as an economical way for retail chains to destroy sensitive materials and at the same time track compliance at the store level. Here's how it works:

• UNISHRED ships a ShredBox to each store with specific directions as to where the box is to be placed and what materials are to be inserted.
• Once a quarter, UNISHRED contacts the store manager to let them know that the ShredBox will be picked up within 24 hours and that a new ShredBox will be delivered.
• Within 24 hours a UPS driver delivers a new box and takes custody of the full box. The date, time, and signature of the pick up are all recorded and made available to UNISHRED clients for tracking purposes using ShredTrack.
• Once delivered to UNISHRED's facility, the box is checked in and hand delivered to the processing center. At the processing center the package is weighed and an image is taken as the ShredBox enters the shredding machine.
• The corporate client is sent an email confirming that UNISHRED has received and processed the ShredBox from each store. The client can enter a description of the contents on ShredTrack for future reference and tracking.
• UNISHRED's management team will provide the client with an Executive Summary on a quarterly basis supported by a variety of Web-based management and compliance reports.
