Job profile! Mobile self-storage founder: Innovative idea brought to Germany

It so happened that after my engineer Study founded a forwarding company and managed it for almost 20 years. In recent years, I have increasingly noticed that the requirements of our younger customers have changed significantly:

How the market has changed in the last 20 years

• They are often moved and were far less localized. To find a good job, younger customers had to be much more mobile and flexible than before 10 years ago. They also could not plan well in advance because the job has become much more project-related.
• Because of the high cost of living and rents, many large cities (especially young families), even those with good earnings, were willing to do more to minimize costs. The previous “all-round service” was much less in demand.
• Many have consciously renounced their privileges - for example, in Munich, now every third. Riding a truck was much more popular, but it was very problematic because most of them did not have the right driving license, nor the necessary experience to drive a large car.

New customer requirements

The books on the subject (advertising)

If at the end of the 90s a classic move from A to B was our main business, in the last 10 years we have increasingly dealt with completely new ones Ask, e.g.

“… I go abroad for a year, but I only want to take a small part of my household with me and store the rest with you. I still don't know what I'll do afterwards, maybe I'll come back to Germany or stay abroad for a long time. Can you bring my things to Switzerland then? ”

…” “I don't actually need a moving company – we are one Boy Family and have a limited budget. I don't want to have to drive a rental car myself, can you just provide us with a car?…”

The idea of ​​Mobile Selfstorage

As a result, we seriously thought about how we would do ours Company customer-oriented, modern and flexible and are almost by chance on the Idea of mobile self-storage: while visiting friends in California, they commissioned a mobile self-storage company for their daughter, who had just started her studies.

The idea was very simple: you don't come to the warehouse, but the warehouse comes to your door! We were immediately enthusiastic: it was a modular system that would enable us to develop our customers to offer exactly the desired flexibility and the right level of service for almost all situations in life.

The concept brought to Germany

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

When we got home and did further research, we found that it was not unknown Concept is. In the last 10 to 15 years, this idea had already taken hold in various forms in the USA, UK and other Commonwealth countries successfully established.

We decided to bring the concept to Germany and build our company in Munich. Said - done: we have sold our old forwarding company and have devoted ourselves entirely to the adaptation and expansion of the mobile storage concept for German metropolitan needs - this lasted over 1,5 years.

Previous experience helps

Our forwarding experience helped us a lot - thanks to this we were able to expand the classic Mobile Selfstorage with a tailored relocation concept and tailor-made trucks.

At the end of May we launched our BoxConcept and are already very happy about one positive Resonance – it seems that we correctly identified the demand.
