What Our Customers Are Saying

“INSOMNIAC takes care of sales and payments, especially after-
hours and on weekends, enabling me to run our facility with
only one employee and no overtime. Customers love the kiosk
and we save money.”

What Our Customers Are Saying

“INSOMNIAC kiosks make great business sense for the self-storage
industry because they provide customer convenience and sales
while helping reduce staffing costs.”

Raymond E. McRae

Storage Solutions, Goodyear, AZ

What Our Customers Are Saying

“The INSOMNIAC kiosk is the best employee I have ever had. The first day
it was turned live it took three move-ins. It is truly amazing!”

Bruce Manring

Discount Storage

What Our Customers Are Saying

“On average, our largest store is producing 12 additional rentals per month through
the call center. Other properties average about 5-7 additional rentals monthly per store,
resulting in a 14% same-store sales increase in 2013. With the call center, we get more
income from rentals, gain occupancy and raise rates when occupancies get higher.”

Anne Ballard

President of Marketing, Training and Developmental Services at USG

What Our Customers Are Saying

“With INSOMNIAC, customers never see a ‘Closed’ sign or have to come back later.
Instead, they can make payments or rent units at their convenience.”

Phil French

President of Filco Limited, LLC.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“Over the course of a year, the OpenTech call center contributed to
an increase in occupancy from 71% to 82%, an all-time high.”
