Self-storage facility management software helps businesses easily manage, monitor, and run the operations of individual self-storage units or site-wide facilities. These solutions can increase a company’s accuracy of operations, revenue, and theft deterrent measures. However, the ultimate reason why self-storage owners, operators, and managers turn to self-storage facility management software is to create and generate management reports, automating the collection of information such as occupancy rates, weaknesses and strengths of a facility (such as units that regularly go unrented or get overbooked and pain points in lease management), and customer contact information.
Common features of self-storage facility management software include tenant management, reservation systems, payment systems, some sort of lease management, and dashboards that keep track of and report on sales and/or operations. Some solutions provide a built-in accounting system track accounts receivable, while others offer seamless integration with third-party accounting software. Buyers of self-storage facility management software should make sure to find one that is specifically designed for the size of their facility.
