Physical Records Under Control at Last

 Like most companies today, producing and saving documents, files, information as electronic information has become normal.

Even with an implemented software solution for electronic/digital records, many organizations are still struggling with managing their physical records. Most not only have issues locating the paper but have no idea what actually lives in all the boxes.  There are loads of companies with no solution or that have multiple spreadsheets of data that were created or home grown databases and not maintained.   Locating records, inability to effectively manage costly storage space or execute any disposition is commonplace.

Major software vendors have focused on digital records and left physical records alone.

At WesternIM we heard this story so many times, that over the past summer we set out to provide a simple passive management tool to help Records Professionals manage and resolve these issues. The solution was a quick, simple and inexpensive tool for compiling an inventory of physical records, enabling fast search, classification management and disposition identification, specifically designed for Records Professionals and using the latest technology on laptops and smart phones. We call it WISPIR (WesternIM Information System for Physical Inventory Records).
