With this easy to use self-service terminal, customers can make a payment or rent a unit at their convenience, regardless of whether a manager is available or your facility is open. Live support is always available for your tenants via call center Storage Counselors. Track foot patterns at your office when it’s open or closed. Monitor how many times the door opens each day, receive alerts when the office isn’t open on time, and discover how often people attempt to visit your office but the door is closed. Use voice commands and an Alexa skill to perform tasks or receive information about your storage facility. Ask Alexa to ‘open the gate,’ ‘adjust the thermostat to 78 degrees’ or ask ‘how many tenants are currently on the property.’ Support your manager with full-scale or supplemental services to ensure your tenants receive superior customer service, every time they call. When connected, call center agents can facilitate kiosk transactions and assist customers when they’re locked in or out of the facility. Easily grant your tenants hands-free access with the Storage Genie tenant mobile app. Once setup, tenants can enter the facility without re-entering their credentials in the app or on a keypad. Easily manage permissions for all access points at your facility. Quickly add or remove tenants, restrict access to certain buildings/areas, and view tenant visit info and manage properties remotely. Save on your HVAC expenses – monitor and control the temperature at your facility from any location. Adjust your thermostat remotely and receive alerts when temperatures or humidity levels change. Connect your existing cameras to a smart, prevention-based security system. Using artificial intelligence and a Virtual Security Team, you can detect and prevent crime before it happens.
