Having worked in the self storage industry for almost a decade, I’ve visited many self storage facilities over the years. Sometimes, my visits are to train facility staff & managers on new tools available at their disposal, whereas other visits are to help a new owner make sense of the beast they’ve inherited (or purchased) from another owner.

Regardless of the state of a business, I often find that many people aren’t using all of the software tools available to them. If you are not using your current tech to the extent of its ability you are missing out.

So let’s take a quick look at four great ways you can use software tools to help you automate your business…
1. Use automated electronic storage agreements: If you’re an SSAA member, then why not take advantage of electronic SSAA agreements? Load these into your self storage management software (e.g. Storman), then generate & print one (for signing) whenever a new storer signs-up. The benefit: Less time, less mistakes & less wastage. No more issues trying to decipher a storer’s handwriting & no more wasted agreement pads!
