Public Storage Branded Properties in Canada Choose Self Storage Manager™

BLUE BELL, Pa., Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- E-SoftSys^™, a Total Solutions Provider for the self-storage industry, announced today that Canadian Mini-Warehouse Properties Company^™, manager of 52 Public Storage branded locations across Canada, and the largest self-storage operator in Canada, has chosen Self Storage Manager as their management software program and implemented the software at more than half of their properties.

"After evaluating Self Storage Manager at three of our locations for several months, we have made the decision to implement the management software at all 52 Canadian locations," said Troy McLellan, SVP/COO.  "The decision was based on the ease of conversion from our legacy TaskMaster™ application, rich functionality, and excellent customer support."  

According to Pino Spano, VP Operations, "The software is fully compliant with Canadian statutory requirements and met all the requirements of our IT, operations, and accounting teams. We chose to host the site databases utilizing the remote server option, allowing us to be one step ahead of the curve in data security.  We plan to implement the integrated e-CRM module with interface to our phone system, once all our properties have been converted. We would recommend Self Storage Manager to other multi-facility operators who are looking for a complete management software solution."

"We are very proud that our Self Storage Manager product lines continue to exceed client expectations and we're delighted to have Public Storage in Canada join our rapidly expanding base of satisfied customers. Assigning a dedicated team to large-operator implementations, including a project manager, conversion specialist, programmers, and QA analysts, has really helped us to deploy our software products on time, on budget and as per client requirements," said Kat Shenoy, President and CEO of E-SoftSys. "Self Storage Manager is the ideal management software for Top Operators because of its unique architecture, fully integrated CRM add-on module, industry-leading 24x7 customer support, and our ability to customize the software to meet any unique requirements.  We've made many enhancements based on feedback from our customers and, in the case of Public Storage in Canada, we've ensured all Canadian requirements were met, including GST/PST/QST and the need for customer-related documents to be available in French.  E-SoftSys continues to gain market momentum in North America, and we're well positioned to become the leading supplier of software and services for the self-storage industry."
