Industry Shift: Modifications Gain Momentum

The portable storage industry has shifted.

What used to be a straightforward container rental business has become more complex and more interesting. Operators have expanded their offerings and modifications have moved from the sidelines to the center of the business model.

At NPSA earlier this year, I saw a noticeable increase in interest around this trend. 

There was a clear sense that the container business is evolving. More teams are asking how to handle modifications efficiently and how to keep the details from falling through the cracks.

Anyone who’s handled modifications knows the upside is real, but so is the risk. A misquoted project can eat into your margins quickly. A missed deadline or a spec that gets lost in communication can jeopardize a customer relationship.

That’s something we’ve heard often: The challenge isn’t finding work. It’s keeping everything organized – from the first quote to final delivery – when traditional tools like spreadsheets fall short once the operation starts to scale.

This shift does not mean operators need to reinvent everything. But it does mean that better coordination, clearer tracking, and tighter workflows are essential to staying competitive.

That’s why we’ve built Omni~View to support the full modification workflow. You can generate accurate quotes, turn them into orders, and track the build process step-by-step.

Our software is designed specifically to help teams stay organized and deliver on time and on budget.

Modifications can be a great business, until you misquote it or mismanage the process.

We’ve built the tools to help make sure you don’t. Let us know how we can support the work you’re doing.
