Future plans include expanding into historical document archiving, developing record-keeping solutions for SMEs, and forming deeper collaborations with start-ups and local entrepreneurs.Providing more insight into operations, sales and marketing manager Sunny Ekandjo explained that the company manages over 500 000 boxes and approximately one billion pages of paper, equivalent to 225 000 linear metres of physical documents. The company uses a sophisticated barcode system to ensure efficient document retrieval, with tracking applied from the box down to each individual file. Ekandjo highlighted that when a client requests a document, the real-time tracking system allows staff to locate and deliver the file within minutes.He also emphasised the company’s commitment to sustainability. The Document Warehouse has significantly reduced its environmental footprint by adopting solar power, resulting in an electricity bill as low as N$1.76 in recent months. The organisation also supports recycling initiatives and integrates eco-conscious practices into its operations. The open day forms part of a broader outreach initiative by The Document Warehouse to engage more actively with the community and industry partners.Those interested in attending are encouraged to confirm their attendance by contacting Amy Plaatjie at sales@documentwarehouse.com.na or +264 81 128 5645.
