By now, we’ve all heard a great deal about everything “smart.” Smart technology, smart buildings, smart solutions, and so on. But do we really understand what “smart” truly entails?
In the world of self-storage, some of the first things that come to mind are features such as smart locks, remote gate access, and even remote climate control. Those are absolutely correct and are all important features in an increasingly smart world. But building smart is so much more. It combines infrastructure strategy with the newest technological innovations to create a self-storage experience ideal for owner-operators and tenants alike.
And it’s not just about installing the latest technology to help your self-storage facility now. It’s also about preparing your facility for the future, where smart features aren’t simply unique and convenient upgrades; they are expected and necessary for a successful facility.
Sure, this can sound intimidating at first, but building smart doesn’t have to be a “one-size-fits-all” approach. There are a wide variety of scalable options, whether you’re ready for a full development project or you simply want to dip your toes into the smart world.
