Why Your Filing Cabinet is Costing You More Than You Think

The Hidden Costs of Paper in New Zealand Workplaces

In New Zealand, where commercial office space is often at a premium—particularly in urban centres like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch—filing cabinets are more than just clunky; they're costly. That stack of paper is not only taking up physical room, it’s chewing through productivity and introducing avoidable risk.

Did you know that Kiwi workers spend on average 20–30% of their time looking for information stored in physical records? Multiply that across teams and departments, and you’re looking at thousands of dollars lost every month to inefficiency alone.

Compliance, Privacy, and Retention — Local Considerations

New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 requires organisations to store and manage personal information with care. Paper records make this difficult — especially in the case of misfiling, damage, or unauthorised access. Digitising your documents ensures secure storage and gives you tools to control access and meet retention timelines.
