Storage operations

Storage management software for operators who need availability, booking and billing to stay aligned

Why storage starts to feel messy sooner than operators expect

Storage can look simple while unit counts are small. The admin load shows up later: availability checks, reservation admin, recurring payments, overdue accounts, and customer handovers that no longer fit neatly inside a spreadsheet.

Availability lives in a spreadsheet, so every enquiry starts with a manual check.

Reservations, tenant details, and card payments sit in different places, which makes mistakes far too easy.

Overdue accounts are spotted late because nobody has one clear storage view for what is booked, occupied, or unpaid.

Operators offering removals and storage end up re-entering the same customer into separate systems.

What storage operators actually need the software to do

The practical win is not a prettier dashboard. It is getting availability, reservations, billing, and occupancy into one operating view so the next action is obvious.

Live availability by unit type

See what is free, reserved, or occupied without checking paper sheets or ringing round the yard first.

Reservation and customer workflow

Take a storage enquiry through recommendation, reservation, and customer record creation in one joined-up operator flow.

Recurring billing through Stripe

Card billing, reminders, and payment status stay tied to the reservation instead of drifting across bank statements and inboxes.

Occupancy visibility that means something

Track filled, available, and reserved capacity so pricing and marketing decisions are based on live operational reality.

How the storage workflow fits together in practice

Move and Store works best when a storage operator can move from enquiry to reservation to billing without switching systems halfway through. If you also run removals, the same customer can stay inside the wider platform workflow instead of becoming a duplicate record.

1

Show live options instead of vague estimates

Publish the unit types you actually offer, with current availability and the operational detail needed to answer new enquiries confidently.

2

Guide the customer into the right size

The storage flow can recommend a suitable option and move the prospect into a reservation without an operator rebuilding everything manually.

3

Keep payments and records joined up

Reservation details, tenant information, and recurring card billing stay attached to the same record, which reduces admin drift.

4

Run occupancy from one view

Operators can see what is full, what is reserved, what is overdue, and what is likely to free up next without piecing it together from separate tools.

If storage is still being run from spreadsheets and bank statements, start with a cleaner workflow.

Move and Store gives smaller operators live availability, reservations, billing visibility, and occupancy control without enterprise-software overhead.

What it handles well right now

  • Live availability and unit-type visibility for new enquiries.
  • Recommendation, reservation flow, and tenant records that stay together operationally.
  • Recurring card billing and overdue-payment visibility through Stripe-backed payments.
  • One customer workflow if the business sells removals and storage together.

What to stay honest about

  • Deep native accounting sync is not the live promise today, so finance-heavy operators should expect a manual reconciliation step for now.
  • If you need complex enterprise waitlist logic or large-facility specialist tooling, that is a bigger bridge than the core availability and billing workflow covered here.

Who this is best for

  • Independent self-storage businesses that need better availability, booking, and billing control without enterprise software overhead.
  • Removals operators running container, warehouse, or hybrid storage who want one customer workflow across both services.
  • Smaller sites where the owner still needs a real operational view rather than an expensive, overbuilt facility platform.

Long read? Send the storage workflow to yourself and come back when you are ready.

Free access, no card required.

Start with live storage visibility first. Add more commercial automation as the maths works.

The Free plan gets the storage workflow live. Pro lowers fees and adds more automation once the operation is ready for it.

Frequently asked questions

Can customers see live storage availability before they enquire?

Move and Store can show available unit types and current availability, so operators are not guessing what is free when a new enquiry lands.

Can I take online reservations and recurring storage payments?

Yes. Move and Store supports online storage reservations and recurring card billing through Stripe so payments and tenant records stay tied to the same workflow.

Is this only for removals companies that also offer storage?

No. It fits removals-plus-storage operators especially well, but smaller self-storage businesses can also use it for availability, reservations, billing, and occupancy control.

Does it include a native Xero or Sage sync?

Not today. Billing runs through Stripe and the operating record stays inside Move and Store, so if you need a deep accounting sync you should currently plan around a manual reconciliation step.
