Automate Your Self-Storage Facility for 24/7 Passive Revenue

We integrate with SiteLink, storEDGE, and Storable to automate your move-in flow, payment collections, and gate access management without manual intervention.

Self-storage facility operators frequently struggle with the 'unattended office' dilemma. With average unit rentals ranging from $100 to $300 per month, missing a single inquiry because a manager was off-site or assisting another customer directly impacts your NOI. Facilities that implement 24/7 automated inquiry responses and move-in scheduling typically achieve 15% higher occupancy rates compared to those relying on business-hour staffing.

Beyond occupancy, the administrative burden of lien processing, insurance compliance, and late payment follow-ups creates significant overhead. By automating the data flow between management software like SiteLink or Yardi and communication platforms, facilities can reduce labor costs while ensuring 100% compliance with state-specific lien and auction laws. We help you move from manual spreadsheets to a fully synchronized operation.

Problems We Solve

Missed After-Hours Inquiries

Most customers search for storage units in the evening. Our automation handles unit availability checks and size guidance 24/7, capturing leads while your competitors are closed.

Friction in the Move-In Process

Manual lease signing and ID verification delay revenue. We automate the digital signature, payment collection, and insurance add-on process for instant access.

Inconsistent Late Payment Follow-up

Chasing $150 payments is a waste of manager time. We build automated SMS and email sequences that trigger late fees and gate lockouts based on real-time ledger data.

Lien Processing Legal Risks

State-mandated lien timelines are strict. We automate the notification schedule, ensuring certified mail and legal notices are sent exactly when required by law.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which management software do you support?

We specialize in deep integrations with SiteLink, storEDGE, Yardi, Easy Storage Solutions, and Storable. We can also build custom connectors via Zapier or Make.

Can you automate gate access for after-hours move-ins?

Yes. We connect your payment processor to your gate controller (like PTI, Noke, or OpenTech) to ensure codes are only activated once a payment is confirmed and a lease is signed.

How does the system handle state-specific lien laws?

We customize your workflow triggers based on your state's statutes, ensuring that pre-lien notices, lien declarations, and auction notifications are sent on the legal timeline.

Does this replace my facility manager?

No, it empowers them. By automating the 80% of tasks that are repetitive, your manager can focus on facility maintenance, local marketing, and high-value customer service.

How do you handle insurance compliance?

Our system scans your tenant ledger daily. If a tenant's private insurance expires, it automatically triggers a notification and adds the facility's required insurance fee to their next invoice.

Can I automate unit price increases?

Yes, we can build logic-based workflows that suggest or implement rent increases based on unit type occupancy levels and market demand data.
