Story

DataSafe grew out of City Transfer and Storage Company, a moving and storage business founded in San Francisco in 1898. World War II veterans and Stanford Graduate School of Business alumni Robert Reis and Robert Bush purchased City Transfer and Storage in 1946 and pioneered the records management industry in San Francisco by establishing an off-site records storage and retrieval service to meet the growing needs of post-war Bay Area businesses for secure and cost efficient records storage.

Robert's son, Tom, a CPA, joined City Transfer and Storage in 1976 as Vice President of Finance. Father and son expanded and refined the Company's records storage services by constructing a high-security, environmentally-controlled vital records center in downtown San Francisco in 1978. That same year, another son, John, joined the Company as Vice President of Marketing. John was instrumental in consolidating City Transfer and Storage Company's records storage services into a new division named DataSafe.

In 1982, DataSafe set its course as a pioneer in records management innovations, beginning with DataControl, providing for computerized office and vital records inventories and activities. DataControl was followed by the implementation of bar code technology in 1986 to monitor the movement of items in and out of the records center. That same year another Reis son, Ron, joined DataSafe as Vice President of Sales and the Company continued to grow.

As DataSafe's services expanded, so did its facilities. In 1986 the company consolidated its administrative offices and records center in its current headquarters in South San Francisco. A new facility with a vital records center and hard copy center was opened in Newark in 2001 to better serve the needs of East Bay clients. In 2008, DataSafe ventured north to Sacramento, to provide out of area service for Bay Area clients, as well as provide extraordinary service to the Sacramento Metro area.

While Ron and John Reis have both retired from the company, it remains family focused with the addition of the third generation. Tom's sons Rob, who joined in 2005, and Scott, who joined in 2007, are dedicated to continuing to provide the same quality service established by their grandfather in 1946.

DataSafe is proud of all that we have accomplished and we look forward to serving as an industry leader in the Bay Area for many years to come. Welcome to our future!
