Integrated Self Storage Software and Access Control for Modern Facility Management
OpenTech Alliance, the PropTech leader in self storage, is pleased to announce a new integration between Storman, the largest and most trusted provider of self storage management software in Australia and New Zealand with a growing presence in the UK, Europe and Asia, and the company’s INSOMNIAC® CIA (Centralized Intelligent Access) access control platform and INSOMNIAC SmartLock® electronic locks.
This strategic collaboration delivers self storage operators of all sizes a modern, automated approach to facility management, improving efficiency, security, and the tenant experience across multiple international markets.
The integration connects Storman’s intuitive facility management software with OpenTech’s leading access control and lock technologies, eliminating the need for manual processes and ensuring facility access is updated in real time to reflect tenant account status.
Operators can now streamline access permissions, reduce administrative burden, and enhance site security with synchronised tenant billing and access data.
The Storman Access Control Integration Delivers Key Benefits for Operators
Automated Overlocking
Units equipped with SmartLocks automatically lock or unlock based on tenant payment status, eliminating manual overlock tasks and reducing operational costs.
Real-Time Access Updates
Access control credentials are instantly granted or revoked in sync with Storman’s tenant records, maximising facility security.
Self-Service Tenant Tools
Tenants can resolve access issues independently—Including retrieving lost codes or paying outstanding balances via a mobile device or the keypad itself, reducing customer support workload.
