Vulcan Materials is one of the nation’s largest producers of construction aggregates founded in 1916. They have 317 active aggregates facilities in 21 states and Mexico. At the distribution headquarters, materials shipments generated more than 200,000 paper tickets each month. These tickets were shipped semi-weekly from 30 locations to headquarters to be sorted and filed by hand. The tickets were stored for seven months onsite, and then re-boxed and shipped to an offsite storage vendor. With a monthly shipment of about 15 boxes and a retention period of three years, their paper storage costs were averaging $21,600 per year.
