- Aren’t you all the same?
- How could you compete with global players? (We love this one!)
We have more than enough reasons to share, click any of the links below to read more:
Customer Focus and Commitment
Corodata has become the West Coast’s largest privately operated Records Management firm by listening to clients. Each of our services has a client to thank for its presence on our menu. Quite simply — They Asked For It, They Got It! (Now, you can too!)
Californians have entrusted Corodata with their most prized possessions since 1947. Since the 70’s, Corodata has been owned by a family that is still very active in the day-to-day management and operations, with a whole new generation coming up to speed to carry on these traditions.
When compared to others in our industry that have to report earnings to Wall Street investors or demanding private equity firms, both trying to wrestle every once of profit out of an organization, Corodata stands apart. We can invest in people and technology because they are right for the future, thinking long-term results in long-term relationships between clients, employees, and the company.
Personal Service
Each of our four service locations handles their own client needs. These great service professionals know a Rush by the tone of their “friends” voice most of the time.
Our drivers become a part of your office environment. The same drivers come to your door for delivery and pick ups. They route their own day to minimize disruption of your office as much as possible. You’ll love them!
Everyone from the folks in the warehouse to the driver in your hallway, and all the managers and staff helping them out, realize how great of an honor it is to be trusted with your sensitive material. We treat each piece of paper as if it were our own information.
Best Value
Prospective clients that are using a Records Center currently can expect 25% or greater savings at a minimum, and over 50% in some cases. Whether big or small, everyone saves with Corodata. We are happy to help you compare a month’s costs anytime.
If you are not using a Records Center, studies and logic show that you are still using plenty of cash to manage your files. Office space (rent), self/public storage charges, employee downtime and energy, basement space, file cabinets, etc. all cost your firm. Our system outsources and minimizes these charges to the smallest, most affordable increments, where you buy just what you need, when you need it.
Compliance With Regulations & Audits
Corodata impresses Auditors daily with its internal controls, security, and database of information.
Only you know what the value of this compliance can be on your particular information, but it probably helps to know it comes at no extra charge over our already great storage value.
Get & Stay Organized
Don’t worry if you aren’t organized now, we’ll get there together. Clients tell us all the time how using our service not only allows and encourages them get their information in order, but also that once they started it was so easy to stay organized.
Whether you use our complimentary web portal or not, our team can help you in so many ways. We can help you implement your retention schedule, run reports on usage, and manage your expense. You’ll be able to retrieve just the information you need, right when you need it, know that when it’s sent back – we’ll know right where to put it and find it again if needed.
Don’t fear the start up of this journey, we’re experts and we’ll hold your hand (figuratively) through the whole process.
Customer Benefit From Continuous Improvement
Corodata practices the Six Sigma techniques to manage and improve some of its most critical internal and external processes. From Rush Delivery success ( 99%+) to customer satisfaction scoring to how many cartons were shelved per hour, Corodata measures everything with an eye towards improving our company and passing on savings to clients.
In this data-driven culture, Corodata leads the way among Records Centers. By comparing the different service centers, we can identify and transfer innovative techniques developed by the people who do the work – always the best source.
Security
The facilities and vehicles of Corodata are thoroughly engineered, maintained, and inspected to ensure compliance with our security standards.
Our employees are all thoroughly background checked, continuously trained, measured, monitored and evaluated, including their “can do” attitude.
We have the latest in video surveillance technology, including digital storage, remote access, keyless/auto-locking doors, etc…
Most importantly, our people understand that the documents you are entrusting to Corodata deserve the very best care we can provide, and treat each sheet as if their own information was in their hands.
Safety
Our client’s safety is a huge concern to us as well. We do the lifting so you don’t have to. No more storage units, trips to the basement, stacking paper to the roof.
Our warehouse racking is based on only stacking boxes three units high, above this level is risky for the cardboard below.
We prepare diligently and test constantly for emergencies. Our disaster recovery plan addresses everything from data issues to natural disasters.
Operation Managers compensation is tied to and affected deeply by compliance with the strict protocol established by either Corodata or the various international trade groups to which we belong, like ARMA, NAID, PRISM and more.
Green
Helping Keep California GREEN
Environment in its own operation, we are even happier to help its clients meet and exceed their goals to preserve the precious resources we all enjoy.
Recycling
The clearest way we all help Mother Earth is the recycling of the paper on which your information is printed and stored or given to us to shred. Rest assured that any information is shred prior to recycling under a very strict chain of custody and in a manner that meets or exceeds NAID standards. Hard drive and other non-paper materials are recycled to the best of our ability as well. Corodata cartons are made of recyclable materials and recycled themselves after they have served their purpose.
Energy Conservation
As pioneers in the information management industry, minimizing fossil fuel consumption and electricity usage is a top priority at Corodata. Through a variety of methods and equipment, Corodata helps conserve resources for our grandchildren’s grandchildren.
Between our low emission fleet of delivery vehicles, our use of isolated lighting within the warehouses only when needed, and virtually no climate control expense for our geographically blessed locations, we have taken every step into account.

Isn’t everyone trying to be green? But how in the world can piles of paper stacked miles high be green you ask?
Storing paper documents with Corodata is Green in the following ways:
- Once it is printed, no energy is used to store, back up, monitor, firewall, update to new servers, convert to new formats, etc. Paper v.1.0 is still working.
- After we store it through your retention cycle, we confidentially shred the information and it gets utilized again to make more paper. Recycling 101.
- Our facilities are all equipped with Low Energy applications wherever possible. Very little lighting, heat/ac, etc… yet super secure and private.
- Our vehicles gather together hundreds of work orders per day and efficiently “car pool” them all around town. The vehicles themselves in many cases have been selected for the low emissions and high fuel economy.
- Digital Storage and the on-going management of it are enormous resource hogs, allow for great degrees of risk through hackers and mistakes, and ultimately may not even be available in the case of a true emergency as connections are not up and running or your ability to operate may be compromised.
For all these reasons, and much more, we know that Corodata Records Management stands head and shoulders above the crowd, ready to serve you just the way you want to be served, and then some. Please contact Corodata for more information or to request a free consultation with one of our representatives.
