This Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Internet company provides detailed, up to date listing information to users looking to attend Storage Auctions. Self-storage facilities hold storage auctions to vacate non-paying tenants. Facility owners are generally required to first notify the tenant of the outstanding debt, and if the debt remains unpaid, the facility must then give public notice of the sale or auction. One such notification method is via online services like the target.
In the fall of 2010, two television programs featuring storage auctions, Storage Wars and Auction Hunters, were released. The popularity led to additional shows such as Storage Hunters, Storage Wars: Texas, and Storage Wars: New York. This is a growing sector with a large, and growing, following – both in TV viewership as well as in Auction participants.
This business uses a highly sought-after recurring revenue – subscription service model via its primary website- collecting auction data on over 51,000 storage facilities on an ongoing real time basis. Founded in 2011 after it was realized that no other provider was servicing this segment, this business has dominated this market segment as the premier provider of Storage Auction Listing Data, with over 15 Million Auction listings to date.

It is a highly automated business that can be managed with complete control from any location with internet access.
