Iron Mountain Smart Sort

The Smart Sort process follows Iron Mountain’s secure procedures with vetted and trained employees.

Iron Mountain’s Smart Sort processing centers are prepped and ready to meet the specific requirements of your project.

Smart Sort is a technology-enabled solution that uses information from your core business application and records retention schedule to make instant decisions on file disposition.

We start the Smart Sort process by capturing the unique file ID found on the outside of the file. We do that with a scan of a barcode or by hand keying in the file ID.

Once the file ID is captured, using data extracted from your core business application and records retention schedule, Smart Sort tells us instantly—in real time—the outcome for that file, and we sort and re-box accordingly.

You decide how you want your records to be sorted. For example, sort by destruction eligibility year, record type, a unique identifier, or whatever you require.

For files that have met retention requirements and can be defensibly destroyed, the boxes are wrapped in black and clearly labeled for destruction.

Iron Mountain’s employees have specialized training on the Smart Sort process and will expertly execute your project.
