Barcoding

Barcoding gives shredding companies a wealth of data about where your shredding is coming from. Know which containers produce, which should be removed, and where you need to add more. Barcoding is always the first step to “Right-Sizing” your accounts.

At the heart of inventory and operational control, Q-Shred Barcoding allows you to:

  • Track where every bin is located, keeping your investment safe and making them easier to service 
  • Understand which bins produce paper for recycling income and which are consistently empty
  • Prove that the Driver was at the bin
  • Easily scan with a standard iPhone upon service 
  • Produce bin-by-bin Certificates of Destruction (a competitive advantage over just a line on the invoice) and detailed reporting 
  • Garner actionable takeaways 

Labels are supplied by ShredMetrics, giving you one less thing to worry about. And naming conventions are flexible so you maintain control. Whether you have different types or sizes of consoles or different media collected inside each bin, you can define your item types and tag each for accurate tracking and collection counts. 

Staying Competitive 

Nowadays, most government, healthcare, and large corporations require their bins to be barcoded. Q-Shred’s proprietary software makes it easy for you to compete for these bigger customers and service all of them.
