On the tenant side, cloud-based systems enable customer-facing apps that ease entry and exit from facilities, as well as facilitate payments and communication. These options prove extremely popular with tenants who rely on mobile apps to conduct a wide range of tasks in their daily lives, including managing their self-storage needs.

Artificial Intelligence has an increasing presence in self-storage facilities and will continue to grow. While it’s unlikely we’ll see robot concierges escorting tenants to their units anytime soon, a variety of AI methods can further support security mechanisms. Double verification can be instituted with pinhole video cameras in keypads using technology that includes facial recognition. Self-storage facilities that take advantage of the power of technology, and the accompanying data it yields, can expand their prospective customer base and effectively meet tenants’ storage and security needs.

Technology not only enables more secure and cost-effective management of existing storage needs, but it facilitates the expanding “edge cases” in commercial usage of self-storage. They are commercial customers in landscape maintenance, pharmaceutical sales, and product warehousing, to name a few. They sell specialty items like large industrial equipment or luxury goods and use self-storage as their alternative brick-and-mortar shop. These customers are much stickier than the traditional self-storage renter who shows up once or twice every six months. The new commercial customers can shoulder higher rents because rented units are part of their business model. They also have significant cash flow that hinges on self-storage access. This new and growing self-storage customer segment has increased security requirements and demands features like mobile apps, higher security, digital key sharing, and tracking logs.

Smart locks, owned by facility operators, provide a much higher level of defence than the former standard of a customer-purchased padlock. Operator-owned unit security products not only better protect customer items, but also help reduce operating costs. Consider this: fewer full-time employees (FTEs) are needed when there is the ability to monitor individual units in real-time, remotely. One manager who could visit just five facilities previously could increase his or her footprint to manage 10 instead, with the additional tech-enabled security support that allows for remote unit management from a central dashboard. Unit security also thwarts break-ins and tailgaters by preventing access to units even if the facility is breached. Automated day-to-day operations is where we’re headed, as customers prefer contact-light experiences and operators can minimise management costs with remote-first interactions.

While some operators continue to consider the idea of cloud-based software, those who have moved off desktop operations are already reaping the benefits. With so much consolidation in the industry and few single-operator sites, the ability to manage operations remotely and securely is a growing need. Allowing for optimum remote management through single-view dashboards, real-time notifications, and multi-site hierarchies, operators have been able to get a total sum picture of site and unit activity for safety and staffing oversight. From an enterprise level, operators can get raw data in real-time and make effective decisions on behalf of the business and customers without having to physically be on site.
