The dream team for document logistics

Rhenus Data Office offers a full range of services in the area of document logistics.

REMONDIS Data Office and Rhenus Office Systems combine forces and extend their range of services

With more than 20 years of running a successful business, REMONDIS Data Office has established itself on the market as a specialist for file and data destruction work as well as for office waste management logistics. This year, the company joined together with Rhenus Office Systems under Rhenus’ roof. The new dream team, run under the name Rhenus Data Office, is now offering its customers a full range of document logistics services from postal services and digitalisation, to providing personnel and archiving services, to the destruction of files.

With this new constellation, the two sister companies, REMONDIS and Rhenus, have further extended their cooperation work which they had been successfully carrying out for many years in the area of file destruction and archiving. For the customers, the new Rhenus Data Office means an extended range of products in addition to their well-known services. The trusted contact people will remain the same. “The wider range of services will benefit our customers and can create additional value for our own organization,” emphasized Jens Kumbrink, previously managing director of Rhenus Office Systems and today the managing director responsible for the whole range of document logistics. “Because Rhenus stands for excellent document logistics services.”

Being a leading service provider, the company has more than 10,000 customers across Europe. Depending on the customers’ requirements, Rhenus carries out individual tasks or provides a system of services that covers the whole life cycle of a document. Rhenus currently bears the responsibility for more than 100 million archived documents from their customers, which are subject to the most stringent security regulations.

Between mailroom and archive: in paper form and in digital form
One of the company’s main activities is fully or partly taking over mailrooms. With a professional organization and modern equipment, the mailroom can speed up the flow of information within a company: if incoming documents are digitalized immediately, then the process can be dealt with more efficiently and often the following stages can be automated. Rhenus also has wide experience of digitalizing archives of all sizes. Sensitive documents such as personnel, credit and contract files are processed and digitalized individually. With such references, the company is also a recommended partner for public authorities: modernising the archives of a public institution often involves considerable costs – sourcing the work out to an external company saves the client investment costs, lowers the ongoing costs and increases their ability to calculate long-term expenditure.

Rhenus runs document centres across the country where they store files and data storage devices. The archived material stored there can be ordered online and are either delivered to the customer or transmitted as a digital image. And Rhenus also steps in to help if a customer finds himself without qualified and motivated employees for his document logistics: the company’s range of services also includes providing personnel in accordance with the AÜG (Temporary Employment Act). By combining their strengths, REMONDIS and Rhenus are, therefore, ensuring that they provide a perfect range of services covering all aspects of document logistics.

“The wider range of services will benefit our customers and can create additional value for our own organization.”
