StorTrail · in development
A clearer trail for data-bearing drives.
A desktop concept for recording each drive’s journey: removal, identification, secure storage, handover and confirmed destruction.
Product status
Prototype under test
StorTrail is not for sale or operational use yet. Naming, security, retention and legal claims will be checked before a public release.
The proposed workflow
From intake to final outcome.
Designed for teams that need an individual record for each data-bearing device, even when many drives share a ticket or storage bin.
Capture media type, degaussing where relevant, operator and ticket.
Assign a secure bin or location and document handovers.
Record on-site destruction or transfer to a named provider with a documented receipt.
Why we are building it
Make the next question answerable.
When somebody asks where a drive went, the answer should not depend on a spreadsheet, a paper tag and someone’s memory lining up perfectly.
Design priorities
- Fast repeated entry for large batches under one ticket
- Role-based corrections with reasons, not silent overwrites
- Exportable records and recoverable backups
- Clear alerts if record integrity cannot be verified
Currently in development
Interested in the workflow?
We are testing the desktop prototype before deciding on release details. If your organisation has a drive-handling process worth understanding, KMB would welcome a conversation.
