TAXIBOX Winners of the 2019 Innovation / Business Initiative / Sustainability Award with the website enabling them to provide the information required to get the perfect sized storage units for their needs, plus show them the most efficient way to load it. Due to its success TAXIBOX have now taken their unique storage calculator on the road, to conventions in Europe and the U.S., showcasing Calcumate FOR EXCELLENCE as a white-label website plugin for both traditional and mobile self storage companies. Dozens of these companies across the globe now have their own version of Calcumate running on their websites. Speaking on the positive responses, co-managing director Jeremy Rosen said: “for me personally, seeing Calcumate now working across multiple websites, in multiple languages, has been really rewarding, but what has been even better has been the fantastic feedback these companies have had from the customers that use our calculator.” l

T
he TAXIBOX business involves direct delivery to people’s homes and the business revolves around moving the units on trucks. To save having to make multiple trips, customers are advised to over-estimate the number of TAXIBOXES they may need. They aren’t charged for the ones they don’t use, however, then there can be empty TAXIBOXES out on the road which don’t need to be. To reduce the empty boxes on the road TAXIBOX designed the storage calculator, Calcumate, to take the repetitive task of estimating storage to a completely new level. It is a storage calculator that delivers 3D visualisations of household item combinations (provided by the customer) in real-time. It offers a customisable version for the greater storage community and has massively helped reduce overestimating, meaning more space on the trucks and fewer journeys required. One in three customers that go to the instant quote page on the TAXIBOX website now use Calcumate before getting their price. As a result the business has seen a significant decrease in those that drop off at the quote stage. It revolutionised the way that customers interact
