Self-storage software
Storage that bills itself and never loses a container.
Storage looks simple until you have hundreds of containers, customers on different billing dates and contents lists nobody updates. We built the storage side of i-mve, used by removals and storage firms across the UK.
What outsiders miss about storage
The money in storage is recurring billing. The risk is in the details nobody writes down.
Every customer has their own start date, their own rate and their own list of what is in which container. When that lives in a spreadsheet, invoices go out late and contents disputes are hard to settle.
For firms that do removals as well, storage is where the two businesses meet: goods come off a job and into a container. The system should carry the job’s details straight into storage rather than asking someone to type them again.
You’re probably here because…
The problems businesses in this industry bring to us most.
Nobody is sure exactly what is in which container.
Contents recorded when goods go in.
Containers, locations and contents lists kept against the customer record, with history.
Removals jobs and storage live in separate systems.
From job to container in one step.
Goods from a removals job move straight into storage without re-typing, as in i-mve.
Customers call to ask about their account and their next bill.
A customer portal.
Customers see their units, invoices and payments, and update their details themselves.

How a build runs
The same steps on every project. You approve designs before we write code.
- Day 1
A 30-minute call
Bring the problem and how you handle it today. We ask questions and tell you honestly what we would build first. We won’t pitch at you.
- Next
Written proposal and fixed quote
What is in scope, what goes on the backlog, the stack we’d use and why, the timeline and one price.
- Week 1
Onboarding
A kick-off meeting, a shared Slack channel and access to the repository. Rehan is your day-to-day contact.
- Design
Designs you approve
We design the main screens and journeys first. Nothing gets coded until you have signed the designs off.
- Build
Architecture first, then code
We agree the architecture before writing code, then build with updates twice a week on Slack. Any new request is logged as extra hours and reported weekly.
- Launch
Live, handed over, supported
Deployed to production with your Git repositories and documentation handed over. Bug fixes are free for the first two months.
What it costs
Real ranges from our own projects. Your number comes from the scoping call, as a fixed quote.

Are we the right team for you?
We’re a good fit if
- You run self-storage, container storage, or removals with storage
- Billing or contents tracking lives in spreadsheets today
- You want your data and code to be yours
- You can show us how a customer moves in and out
We’re probably not if
- Requests for new features get reported as bugs so they don’t count as scope
- You mainly need graphic design, video or animation
- The budget is under $5,000

Platform-level reviews of the agency — not cherry-picked project comments.
What I love about Team7 is that they always say: No worries, we can find a solution. This is the mindset of builders, creators, people who do not have fear, the partner you need if you want to excel.
Working with Mo and his team over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional. I was admittedly sceptical about investing such a large amount, but results exceeded every expectation.
Their responsiveness and willingness to take on our challenging task were impressive.
They are amazing and consistently exceed expectations. They go above and beyond what is asked of them and their communication is top notch, so much so that we joke that they never sleep. The best of the best.
Common questions
Straight answers on experience, cost and how we work.
Ask us something elseDo you build access control for storage sites?
We build the software side. If your gates or locks have an API, we can connect them, as we did with barrier controllers for our parking system.
How much does storage software cost?
The smallest project we take on is $5,000. A full system with units, billing and a customer portal usually lands between $10,000 and $30,000.
What happens after launch?
Bug fixes are free for two months. After that, maintenance is $700 a month. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can have a dedicated engineer from $2,500 a month.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you get the Git repositories and written documentation. There is nothing tying the software back to us, so you can take it to an in-house team whenever you like.
Who will I talk to, and how often?
Rehan, one of our two founders, is your day-to-day contact. You get updates on Slack twice a week and can see the code in your repository at any time. We split working hours between us to cover US, UK and Australian time zones, and we usually reply within an hour, sometimes the next morning.
