The vendor opportunity at MyWay Mobile Storage
MyWay Mobile Storage operates 6 franchised units, all of which are required to use a specific set of software platforms mandated by the franchisor. The brand is based in Michigan and falls within the home services segment, offering mobile storage solutions. For software vendors, the addressable market is small—just 6 locations—but the centralized purchasing model means a single deal at the franchisor level can cover the entire system. The 2022 FDD does not disclose an average unit volume (AUV), so vendors must assess opportunity size based on unit count and the mandated tech stack rather than per-location revenue metrics.
The royalty rate is 3.0% of gross revenue, and the initial franchise term is 20 years. These long terms suggest stability, but the absence of disclosed year-over-year unit growth makes it difficult to gauge expansion velocity. Vendors should approach MyWay Mobile Storage with an understanding that the system is mature and tightly controlled, not in a rapid scaling phase.
Who controls software purchasing
Software purchasing authority at MyWay Mobile Storage sits at the franchisor level. The 2022 FDD names Edward Sickmund as the agent for service of process, which is the only executive listed in Item 1. While no CIO, CTO, or VP of Technology is identified by name, the centralized mandate of platforms like Salesforce and QuickBooks Online indicates that technology decisions are made at headquarters, not by individual franchisees. Vendors should direct their outreach to the franchisor’s leadership team, recognizing that the buying center may be small and concentrated.
Because the FDD does not list additional executives, vendors may need to supplement with LinkedIn or other professional data to identify the operational decision-maker. The key takeaway is that franchisees do not have autonomy to select their own accounting or CRM software; compliance with the mandated stack is non-negotiable.
Mandated and current tech stack
The 2022 FDD explicitly mandates several systems. For accounting, QuickBooks Online by Intuit Inc. is required. For customer relationship management, Salesforce.com by Salesforce, Inc. is mandated. Additionally, the franchisor requires use of a Customer Service Center and three proprietary MYWAY Storage websites: the business website, the central website, and the centralized website. These web properties suggest a controlled digital presence managed at the brand level.
This stack leaves limited room for direct replacement of core platforms. However, vendors offering complementary tools—such as those that integrate with QuickBooks Online or Salesforce—may find an entry point. The mandated nature of these systems means any new software must either enhance the existing stack or address a gap not covered by the current mandates. The FDD does not list any optional or recommended (non-mandated) technology, so the tech landscape is defined entirely by these required systems.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 procurement extract, so the formal procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly disclosed. This lack of transparency means vendors should inquire directly about the process for becoming an approved vendor. The renewal terms, outlined in Item 17, provide some timing signals. Franchise agreements run for 20 years initially, with 10-year renewal periods. Renewal conditions include written notice, full compliance with all agreements, signing the then-current Franchise Agreement, and securing continued approved facilities. The franchisor may require a materially different contract on renewal, though territory boundaries remain the same and fees will not exceed those imposed on similarly situated renewing franchisees.
These renewal windows could serve as natural points for software evaluation, but with only 6 units and no disclosed growth rate, the cadence of opportunities is likely infrequent. Vendors should monitor any public announcements of expansion or system changes that might trigger a tech stack review.
How to read the MyWay Mobile Storage FDD
The 2022 Franchise Disclosure Document is the authoritative source for the facts cited here. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains detailed information on the franchisor’s obligations, franchisee requirements, and the mandated technology stack. Key sections for software vendors include Item 11 (franchisor’s assistance, advertising, computer systems, and training), which lists the mandated software, and Item 17 (renewal, termination, transfer, and dispute resolution), which outlines contract renewal conditions. Item 1 identifies the franchisor and any parents or predecessors—here, no parent company is on file, indicating MyWay Mobile Storage appears independently owned.

The 2022 FDD reports 6 franchised units. No company-owned units are disclosed, and no year-over-year unit growth figure is provided.
