Operating unattended facilities has been an increasingly popular topic in self-storage. While there are many operators enjoying success with a fully automated model, some have lingering questions about best practices and how to make it work for them. Virtual management is more possible today than ever. In this webinar, we’ll explore how new technology has changed the self-storage playing field and what it could mean for your ability to be more hands-off in your business. From the move-in and payment process to tenant access to general security and much more, our presenters will provide insight and answer questions about going fully automated. You’ll learn:
- How technology has improved the tenant onboarding experience
- The automation technology available today
