MANAGING YOUR FACILITY WITH STORAGE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

The effective management of a Self Storage facility is absolutely essential for success. Without any storage management software, effectively managing a Self Storage facility would be next to impossible and very impractical. SiteLink is the best storage management software when it comes to managing your facility to maximise your success. Here are a few reasons why.

Reporting for analysing data

When it comes to effectively managing a Self Storage facility, the ability to report on and analyse data is incredibly important. The ability to access real-time reports on any computer or mobile device is a huge advantage as it allows you to analyse your data quickly and easily. This data analysis can help you establish the successes of your facility, which can show you what you need to do more of. It can also help you establish the shortfalls of your facility and help you establish solutions to turn these aspects around.

Automation to save time and money

The essential daily processing tasks associated with effectively managing a Self Storage facility can take up a lot of time and effort. With a storage management software like SiteLink, these daily processes are completely automated. This automation means you’re able to spend more time focused on activities that will bring more value to your Self Storage facility, which can lead to more profit and success in the long run.

SiteLink vs. Storman: Google Reviews

If you’re having troubles with Storman or other Self Storage software, you should consider swapping to SiteLink . SiteLink is an award-winning Self Storage software and has been the recipient of Inside Self Storage’s annual ‘Best Management Software‘ award since 2011. But don’t just take our word for it!

SiteLink has an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars on Google Reviews. Here’s what some of our valued customers have to say about SiteLink.

“We’ve been running SiteLink Web Edition management software since 2009 for our three storage sites and the platform is very stable and reliable. Our data is stored securely in a remote data centre and we have an up-to-date copy at all times on our local PCs. Having worked previously with RentPlus, Storage Manager and Storman, the hassle free operation of SiteLink is like chalk and cheese to the others. Do yourself a favour and change over – you won’t regret it!” Doug Parry, 2016.

“SiteLink is an easy to use program for anyone in the storage business. It integrates well with any computer system and the programmers are always expanding its feature set. Backup service and support is second to none – the support team is Australian and they can generally remote in and fix any issues promptly. Well done SiteLink on a great product, thumbs up!” Stor-Mate Tamworth, 2016.

“We recently changed our franchise network onto SiteLink after years of average customer service and questionable software performance. At all times we have found Michael, Curt and the rest of the SiteLink team to be incredibly helpful. We have relied heavily upon the support staff to train us in what is a very fast paced working environment. There has never been a phone call unanswered or a question too stupid. Highly recommended!” Cam Robertson, 2016.

“Ever since we’ve switched over to SiteLink, we’ve been able to take our business to a new level. The software is really easy to operate, and when there is an issue (rarely), support remains patient and talks us through the solution. If you’re running a Self Storage facility without SiteLink, then it is likely that your facility is running you. There are many automated features that help cut running costs and maximise income. KeepSafe Storage operate multiple facilities in Perth and our online presence and functionality is critical to our success.” Shaun Bain, 2016.

“Fort Knox Storage has moved our 33 sites from Storman to SiteLink and could not be more impressed with the technical support or the product. The management reporting has allowed more in-depth understanding of our business and allows us to evaluate how our staff manage the sites which in turn will allow us to focus staff training in areas that are most relevant. The ease of use of the software and implementation with minimal training has made the process very cost effective.” Fort Knox Storage, 2016.

“I am a relatively new user to SiteLink, I currently use SiteLink Web Edition to manage our current Self Storage sites. Dallas, Michael, Curt and the support staff were able to transfer all of our existing data overnight without any issues. With over 300 YouTube demo instructional videos available most day-to-day operational enquiries can easily be viewed as a step by step tutorial. The support I received during the initial set up specific to each site was first class, when you call up, there is always someone available to take your call. This to is priceless when you can continue with your daily activities without the need to be waiting hours or days for return calls.

SiteLink is very proactive in introducing new features and is constantly evolving with new market requirements specific to the Self Storage industry. The fact that SiteLink is a cloud based product means you can log into your data base from any PC, anywhere, anytime with your specific details. In closing, I am very happy with my decision to join the SiteLink team and look forward to seeing them grow.” Greg Burton, 2016.
