Westfalia’s in-house team of engineers customizes each system to fit any building’s shape, size and layout. Module configurations range from 2 to 6 containers per storage lane and 2 to 6 levels high. Each customer’s storage module is promptly delivered to loading area without requiring the customer to enter the building. Clients can even call ahead to have their module ready and waiting for them. Savanna.NET® software controls, manages and records all module movements, and ties directly into the billing system.
