Warehouse Anywhere acquired XPS Solutions on July 7, 2026, combining a business storage marketplace spanning 17,000-plus U.S. locations with the self-storage industry's original dedicated contact center, per PR Newswire. Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal is the first attempt to connect both sides of business self-storage end to end: companies that need flexible space, and operators who provide it, wrapped in AI-enabled call center and remote management infrastructure.
Consumer self-storage dominates industry headlines. Business storage, where tenants need scalability, service quality, and flexible terms, has remained fragmented. Warehouse Anywhere and XPS are betting that owning both the demand side and the operator service layer changes the economics.
What Did Warehouse Anywhere Actually Acquire?
XPS Solutions was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Richardson, Texas. The company built its reputation as the self-storage industry's original dedicated contact center and remote management provider.
Core XPS capabilities include:
- Live agent rental support and remote facility management
- Digital call recording, lead tracking, and web chat
- Search engine optimization and data analysis for operators
- AI-enabled support technology
- Integrations with more than 10 top facility management software platforms
Warehouse Anywhere, based in Denver, operates an on-demand platform that matches businesses with storage across 17,000-plus locations. The company serves customers from growing startups to Fortune 500 companies.
Post-close, XPS continues as XPS Solutions, a Warehouse Anywhere Company. The brand separation matters: operators who already trust XPS for call handling keep the same vendor relationship while gaining access to Warehouse Anywhere's business tenant pipeline.
Why Does Business Self-Storage Need a Different Platform?
The self-storage industry is a multi-billion dollar market built on real estate and consumer tenants. Business storage sits adjacent but operates on different economics.
Business customers need flexible terms, multi-location coordination, and service quality that consumer drive-up rentals do not always provide. Warehouse Anywhere built its marketplace to match those requirements without the overhead of traditional warehouse leases.
XPS spent 25 years on the operator side, proving that tenant experience determines long-term facility health. The acquisition joins demand intelligence (what businesses need and where) with service infrastructure (how operators answer calls, convert leads, and retain tenants).
Laura Holmes, CEO of Warehouse Anywhere, framed the category creation directly.
This acquisition is about raising the bar for what business storage can look like. XPS Solutions has spent more than two decades proving that experience matters in this industry. Bringing them into the Warehouse Anywhere family allows us to deliver that same standard of service at scale, serving the operators in our network and the businesses that depend on them.
John Traver, CEO of XPS Solutions, emphasized the tenant quality angle.
Warehouse Anywhere has built something genuinely rare in this industry: a platform that understands the value of the business customer. For XPS, joining this organization is about being part of a bigger mission. We've spent 25 years proving that how you treat a tenant determines the long-term health of a facility.
That is a different pitch than valet storage startups competing for consumer convenience. Warehouse Anywhere is building B2B distribution with operator-grade service wrapped around it.
What Data Advantage Does the Combined Platform Create?
Warehouse Anywhere brings business customer behavior, storage demand patterns, and placement outcome data. XPS brings decades of operator interaction history, tenant support records, and technology usage patterns across hundreds of facilities.
Together, those datasets feed AI-enabled call agent development. Warehouse Anywhere's release cited intelligent call agent technology that already handles payments, account questions, facility information, and tenant support in real time.
The data moat is the long-term asset. Call centers without demand-side intelligence optimize conversions on whatever leads arrive. Marketplaces without operator service layers hand off tenants and hope facilities answer the phone. A combined platform can match business demand to operator capacity and manage the interaction through close.
That structure parallels what Radius+ positioned with Radius Relay in June 2026: data infrastructure that feeds better decisions. Warehouse Anywhere is applying the same logic to business storage placement and operator service rather than acquisition underwriting.
How Does This Compare to Other July 2026 Industry Moves?
July 2026 opened with consolidation across multiple lanes.
Storage Star closed 60 acquisitions in Q2 2026, doubling its state footprint to 21. Patchwork Labs integrated Ava with Self Storage Manager on July 2, extending AI voice agents to another major PMS. Warehouse Anywhere's XPS deal is the vendor-layer consolidation play: combining marketplace demand with operator services.
| Deal | Date | Category | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warehouse Anywhere / XPS | July 7, 2026 | Business storage platform | Demand + operator service unified |
| Patchwork / SSM | July 2, 2026 | AI voice + PMS | Write-back automation on SSM |
| Storage Star 60 buys | Q2 2026 reported July 8 | Asset consolidation | 119-facility private platform |
XPS competes in the same remote management lane as Zion Call Management's nationwide AI agents and legacy call-center providers. Warehouse Anywhere gives XPS a business-tenant distribution channel those standalone vendors lack.
What Should Self-Storage Operators Take From the XPS Acquisition?
Three operational implications matter.
First, business tenants are a distinct product line, not oversized consumer rentals. Warehouse Anywhere's entire platform assumes different contract structures, service expectations, and placement logic. Operators who want business customers need infrastructure beyond a 10x10 online quote.
Second, call center quality is becoming a competitive moat, not a cost center. XPS built 25 years of operator trust. Warehouse Anywhere bought that trust rather than rebuilding it. Operators evaluating remote management vendors should weigh integration depth (10-plus FMS platforms) and business-tenant experience, not just per-call pricing.
Third, data convergence is accelerating. Warehouse Anywhere cited combined datasets powering smarter placements and AI development. Operators sitting on rich tenant interaction data without a demand-side partner may find that data monetized elsewhere as platforms consolidate.

Business Storage Gets Its First Full-Stack Bid
Warehouse Anywhere did not buy a call center to cut costs. It bought the operator service layer required to make a business storage marketplace work at national scale.
Consumer self-storage consolidation gets the billion-dollar headlines. Business storage consolidation starts with connecting demand, service, and data on the same platform. XPS operators now sit inside that stack whether they joined voluntarily or not.
If you run facilities and want business tenants, the question in July 2026 is no longer whether platforms will intermediate your customer relationships. It is which platform owns both sides of the transaction.
