The Shred Stop, LLC [2007.09 - 2018.10]

The ShredStop is a high-speed self-serve crosscut shredding kiosk for personal, home, and small business usage allowing our customers to shred their private information at up to twenty (20) times faster than a home shredder. Our kiosks are located conveniently at local grocery stores and are very simple to use.

Kiosk was designed by us without needing any assistance from the manufacturer's engineers and is integrated with a commercial scale shredder. Branding of all materials was also implemented by us. Iterative designs of kiosk, branding, interface and software were all pre-tested using future customers' input.

Contracts were negotiated, vendors monitored, and software tested by both partners. Software for interface was designed and written with usability, scalability, maintainability in mind.
