Published details to compare
Before contracting

Iron Mountain Singapore

Confirm storage scope, retrieval SLA and charges, portal access scope, scanning and indexing options, security terms and exit/transport terms.
Separate storage charges from access and retrieval
A records-storage proposal should identify what is stored, who can request access, how retrieval works and the charges for each action. Compare optional digitisation and destruction separately. A provider’s published facility features do not independently establish compliance with an industry’s retention or security requirements.
Compare the same document storage quote
Send each provider the same brief. Fill in the carton count, pickup location and how often your team expects to retrieve records.
Volume. State the number of archive cartons and the pickup location.
First month. Ask for the complete first-month total: collection, indexing, storage and any setup charges.
Ongoing monthly. Ask for the ordinary monthly storage charge per carton, with any minimum commitment.
Physical carton return. Ask for the charge and turnaround when a whole carton is delivered back to your office. Crown describes box-level barcode tracking with scheduled or on-demand retrieval (source). Iron Mountain lists physical delivery and an optional Image on Demand service from a document to a box (source).
File scan request. Ask whether a single document inside a carton can be scanned and sent digitally, and the charge per request. Distinguish this from physical carton return.
Urgent access. Ask what faster retrieval option exists and its additional charge.
Exit. Ask for the one-off fees if you collect all cartons or request destruction at the end of the contract, including any minimum-term penalties.
Quoted total. Ask for totals for the same contract period and retrieval assumptions. List fees that depend on usage separately.
Price the exit scenarios separately if you are still choosing between returning and destroying the cartons.
How the two providers differ
