Running a self storage
business is hard work.
You’re constantly following up phone and website enquiries - meaning sales close slower and other opportunities can be missed.
Without the right tools in place, staff are required on site to check customers in and facilitate their access.
When payments are missed, you’re stuck chasing them and manually overlocking storage units, wasting time and losing revenue.
There’s a better way...
Stora provides automation where you need it, and control where you want it.
Take bookings & payments through your website, automate access, and manage your business from a single app, on any device.

Michael Walker, Standby Self Storage“We switched many sites and just short of 1,000 customers all with existing payment details and smart entry codes to Stora. Their team did a lot of the heavy lifting and supported us throughout the entire process.
It went incredibly smoothly, all invoices and payments came across without any problems, and all smart entry codes were imported across perfectly.”
