Case study

Antipodes

Find out how TIMG assisted Antipodes in digitising their archive of physical HR documentation, freeing up valuable space while preserving security and accessibility.

“It has saved us space and therefore productivity. Our environment is a much more successful working space.”

The Company

Antipodes New Zealand is a scientific, ‘green’ beauty company that uses pollution-free, results-driven, native ingredients to produce vegan and vegetarian skincare products.

Antipodes has been in business for more than 20 years and has staff members based in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK. They develop their products for the health and environment-conscious consumer who wants natural and organic ingredients combined with scientifically proven effectiveness.

The Challenge

Antipodes were confronted with the challenge that many companies face – they had a large collection of historic physical Human Resource documentation that could not be disposed of due to the nature of the information held within. Legal requirements relating to the retention periods of employee files and contracts also dictated that most documents must be kept hold of.

These files were fast filling up precious office space, and so to avoid being overcome with documents, Antipodes were going to need a solution that not only involved removal of the files, but which still preserved the security, accessibility, and efficiency of having them archived within reach.

The Solution

After working with TIMG for a number of years and having enjoyed the efficiencies that our destruction service offers, Antipodes approached their Account Manager – Rob Herriott, knowing that TIMG offered a range of complementary information management solutions.

They were interested not only in the ease of working with a company they knew and trusted but also in having one single provider that, in the words of Kate Allan, Antipodes People, Performance and Internal Regulations Manager, could take care of “all our paper needs, from archiving to destruction.” A solution was found in the form of TIMG’s Digital Transformation service. This service involves the scanning of physical files to digital format and the subsequent provision of that data.

The specific solution developed for Antipodes involved the scanning of their files and their subsequent delivery on an encrypted USB for upload to their own systems. Antipodes also has the option in future to store and access their electronic data via TIMG’s digital hosting platforms, if they so wish.

Once the physical documents were scanned, they were stored onsite at TIMG premises for safekeeping in our secure warehouses. This strategy also allows Antipodes to keep pace with their international growth. As the company expands, global teams create more and more documentation, so to have everything digitised and remotely accessible worldwide is hugely beneficial.
