Jul 29 2010

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 29, 2010 - Centershift Inc. announced the release of a new Centershift Store™ Mobile application for the Apple iOS architecture. The application is based upon Centershift’s latest Store Enterprise and Store Advantage platform, the leader in internet-based self-storage management systems. Coupled with the most advanced handheld technology, self storage operators can view key statistics and monitor net rental activity in real-time with the touch of a finger. Mark Smith, VP of Product Management, notes, “Building an application for the iPhone and iPad was an obvious play for Centershift. We introduced internet-based self storage management systems to the industry. Our latest software was built on a powerful service-based architecture, and our Store Mobile product further demonstrates the power and flexibility of that new architecture.” Centershift’s service-based architecture is built to allow for integrations with web sites, call centers, web aggregators, iPhones, centralized mail services, corporate offices and other business systems. Nick Coslov, CEO of Storage Deluxe, stated, “It’s a quick and easy way to keep tabs on my facilities on the fly. I love having up-to-the-moment status of all my properties’ rental activity. If I hear of an issue at a property, I can quickly drill into the rental level details on my iPhone. It’s really amazing what Centershift has done.” Centershift plans on developing additional functionality and reporting on this platform in the near future. “We will continually partner with our customers to explore other ways this exciting new technology can be applied in the self storage industry,” adds Smith. This application is available for free from the Apple App Store by searching on Centershift.

As the self-storage industry’s most sophisticated technology consumer, we were looking for even more capabilities to further propel us into the next decade.
