Document Management for Exeter and Devon Businesses
Exeter’s business community spans professional services, healthcare, education, retail, tourism, and a growing digital and technology sector. Across these industries, the challenges of records management are consistent: documents accumulate, storage space is consumed, retrieval takes time, and compliance requirements create ongoing obligations that are difficult to manage from within the business.
MDSS provides Exeter and Devon organisations with a fully managed document management service that removes this burden. We collect, catalogue, store, retrieve, and — when the time comes — securely destroy your documents, with GDPR compliance built into every stage of the process.
Our Exeter office means local account management and responsive service for businesses across the city and the wider Devon region.
Document Storage Exeter
Our purpose-built storage facility provides the level of security that business records require. Access control, CCTV monitoring, fire suppression, and appropriate environmental conditions protect your documents from both physical and security risks.
Every box and file is barcoded on arrival and added to your account inventory. You can see everything that is stored, when it was last accessed, and request retrieval — physical or digital — at any time. Our scan-on-demand service means that any stored document can be scanned and emailed to you within hours, without physical retrieval being required.
Contact us to discuss your requirements and we will provide a clear, no-obligation proposal covering storage, scanning, shredding, or a fully integrated programme across all three.
