About Stor-Mor
Stor-Mor Portable Buildings is a leading manufacturer of high-quality sheds, serving customers since 2017. With a growing network of 300+ dealers, Stor-Mor has rapidly scaled its business to meet rising demand across multiple locations. However, like many businesses, rapid growth brought operational challenges, particularly around inventory management, dealer communication, and order tracking.
The Challenge
Before adopting Shed Suite, Stor-Mor was navigating the complexities of manufacturing and distribution without a robust system. According to CEO Darren Warren, “We didn’t have a point of sale system; everything was manual—spreadsheets, emails, even faxing orders.” He continued, “Managing inventory for over 300 dealers without proper software was a mess.”
Stor-Mor faced bottlenecks in everything from order processing to dealer communications, leading to inefficiencies that hampered growth. “We were having a lot of bottleneck problems,” Darren recalls. “As much as we love our employees, you can only afford to put so many people on the payroll. We needed a solution that could streamline our operations.”
The Solution
In search of a tailored solution, Stor-Mor turned to Shed Suite—a software specifically designed for the shed industry. From the start, the Shed Suite team worked closely with Stor-Mor to customize the platform to meet their unique needs, including the integration of inventory management, point of sale, and dealer communication systems.
“I told Jason [CEO of Shed Suite] the other day, I don’t know what we would do without Shed Suite. It’s streamlined our business like none other,” says Darren.
Key Benefits
Since implementing Shed Suite, Stor-Mor has seen significant improvements across all areas of their operations.
Streamlined Operations
Stor-Mor reduced bottlenecks in their workflow and drastically cut down on manual processes. “We were having a lot of bottleneck problems… Now, we’ve got one person paying drivers instead of three. It’s been incredible,” says Darren. With Shed Suite, Stor-Mor has optimized staff utilization, allowing them to focus on growth rather than administrative tasks.
Enhanced Dealer Experience
Shed Suite’s user-friendly interface has significantly improved the experience for Stor-Mor’s dealers. “Our dealers love it. It’s so user-friendly, and that’s what we want. It makes people feel comfortable, and it’s helped us grow faster than we ever imagined,” Darren notes. The easy-to-use platform has also contributed to more seamless onboarding and stronger relationships with dealers.
Inventory Management
Accuracy in inventory tracking has been a game changer for Stor-Mor. “It’s allowed us to be very accurate on our inventory. Before Shed Suite, we had questions at the end of the year. Now, if there’s any question, it’s 100% accurate,” Darren explains. With Shed Suite, Stor-Mor can monitor inventory across more than 300 dealer locations, ensuring that stock levels are always up-to-date, minimizing errors, and improving delivery timelines.
Scalability for Future Growth
Shed Suite has given Stor-Mor the foundation it needs to continue scaling. “If you want to scale your business and you want to grow, you need Shed Suite because that is the only way that you will be able to wrap your hands and your head around this thing. It’s more than just software; it’s the backbone of our operations,” says Darren.
