Portable businesses rely on efficient operations, accurate inventory tracking, and fast customer service. In this video, we share the story behind Omni~View and how our software helps operators manage their entire business with an all-in-one platform.
Omni~View began with a simple idea: the portable storage and rental industries deserved software built specifically for the way they work.
Today, Omni~View helps hundreds of operators across North America manage inventory, dispatch, billing, quoting, and customer relationships in one unified, all-in-one platform. But the real story starts with something even simpler: service.
As CEO Joe Ellickson says, “At the heart of it, we build software, but we’re a service company.”
That mindset continues to shape everything we do.
At the heart of it, we build software, but we’re a service company.
When Omni~View was founded in 2003, the founders noticed a major gap while speaking with operators in the portable storage industry.
There was no software designed specifically to track large, portable assets like shipping containers and trailers.
Operators understood their inventory deeply, but they were forced to rely on spreadsheets, manual workflows, and disconnected tools.
So Omni~View built what the industry needed most: an inventory management system designed specifically for portable businesses.
From that first module, the platform began expanding.
Over the past two decades, Omni~View has grown from a single inventory module into a fully integrated platform with 50+ modules supporting operators across North America.
Today, the all-in-one platform helps businesses:
This unified approach removes the need for disconnected tools and creates a single source of truth for the business.
Modern software isn’t just about automation; it’s about time.

Omni~View’s biggest differentiator is its commitment to long-term customer relationships.
Instead of transactional software relationships, Omni~View partners with customers by:
As Joe explains, “When we take on a new customer, we don’t date them — we marry them.”
This collaborative approach ensures the platform evolves alongside the industry.
After more than 20 years of innovation, Omni~View continues to focus on one mission:
