Brett Henry's Operations Excellence led him to develop Storages premier software management system

from Storage Unlocked · host Thaddeus Campbell

In this episode, we are joined by Brett Henry, CEO of Trojan Storage and the visionary new owner of QuikStor. Brett shares his masterclass in operations, detailing how he went from managing a 12-site portfolio to a $245 million exit, and why he's now betting big on software. We discuss: The Operator's Edge: Why Brett still personally reviews rent rolls for his 54 locations and how "living the numbers" is the secret to finding hidden value that others miss. The Software Problem: Brett reveals his frustration with industry-standard software (slow reports, lack of real-time data) that drove him to buy QuikStor and rebuild it from the ground up for the modern operator. Automation & Efficiency: How QuikStor enables true automation, centralized mailings, instant lease updates, and "no-key" rentals, allowing for significant labor savings and NOI growth. David vs. Goliath: Why independent operators don't need to sell out to the REITs to compete. Brett argues that, with the correct data and systems, regional players can outperform the giants. Tune in to hear how one of the industry's best operators is building the tools to help you win.
