The Centershift Store\u2122 platform is the first fully cloud-based management system designed specifically f\"CentershiftLogo\"or self-storage businesses. Understanding the benefits of a centralized data system, the industry\u2019s largest and most powerful operators have adopted Store as the hub of their storage operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely pleased to be joining the Yardi team,\u201d said James Hafen, president and CEO for Centershift. \u201cWe have long recognized that the self-storage industry was under-served when it came to technology. The breadth of services that Yardi brings to the table surpasses everything self-storage operators have come to expect from the technology available to them today. Joining Yardi introduces new possibilities to this increasingly sophisticated market, and that is an exciting prospect for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hafen further commented, in a letter to his customers<\/a>: “While we will continue to support our current software applications for as long as our clients want them, we will also begin working with Yardi to develop a self-storage management suite of products within the Yardi Voyager framework. The Yardi Voyager real estate management application services thousands of customers worldwide and offers a breadth of functionality far beyond what is found in the self-storage industry today. Yardi brings a game-changing platform that will accelerate our ability to achieve our overall goals for Centershift customers and the industry as a whole. The combination of Yardi\u2019s immense resources and Centershift\u2019s self-storage industry expertise will allow us to provide amazing benefits for our customers.”<\/p>\n

Gordon Morrell, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Yardi, added, \u201cWe are delighted to welcome the Centershift team and to get to work leveraging our respective strengths to benefit the self-storage market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Centershift team will remain in their Salt Lake City offices to continue serving their customers.<\/p>\n
