- Reduce Labor, Waste & Utility Expenses
- The cost of having Watchdog to destroy information will be offset in several areas. First, you presently employ someone who spends at least part of their work time shredding documents. The cost of labor is expensive. You can have your employees doing revenue-producing tasks, or reduce the amount of wages-benefits required by your firm. This amount of time probably adds up to more than you realize.
- Reduce Trash Disposal Costs
- Trash disposal is a very costly expense to most companies. All shredded material will be recycled by Watchdog, therefore reducing the amount of dumpster space you require on a monthly basis. Office shredders will be infrequently used or all-together eliminated, thereby reducing a very large power user and noise producer.
