International Projects
Better Management Systems first began working on international projects in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2004. At the request of a US based resident client, the goal was to bring American style self storage and adapt it to the local Brazilian culture. We were given the opportunity to convert an existing structure and integrate all the latest technology and products from the US while maintaining the feel and flavor of the Brazilian influence.
While interacting with local architects, lawyers, marketing experts and operators we were formulating a model for which we could take the knowledge of the cultural environment and wrap that around an established expertise in self storage development and operations. The success of this project allowed us to adapt this model to any region of the world.
