White Label Storage, one of the industry’s fastest-growing management companies, has partnered with Ai Lean—the only end-to-end lien compliance automation platform for self-storage—to simplify how owners and operators manage the lien process.
Market data shows that delinquencies are on the rise, meaning more operators will be forced to navigate the notoriously complex lien process. Relying on manual workflows to resolve delinquencies leads to reduced revenue, increased legal risk, and time diverted from growth-focused initiatives.
“We know firsthand how challenging delinquency resolution and lien compliance can be. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Ai Lean and leverage their platform to help our clients streamline the lien compliance process,” said Jen Barroqueiro, VP of Operations at White Label Storage.
Streamlining Lien Compliance Through Automation
Because of variations in state laws, the lien process has long been a legal minefield for operators. Failure to comply with local requirements can result in lawsuits or liability for damages to tenant property.
Ai Lean significantly reduces those risks by automating every step of the process. The platform provides end-to-end support across:
- Early Delinquency Detection & Communication
- Lien Notification
- Auction Planning
- Audit Process
- Ad Placement
- Auction Execution
“Our partnership with White Label is very exciting. With Ai Lean rolling out across their portfolio, we’re providing Jenn and her team with a powerful solution to increase efficiency and ensure legal compliance. This translates into lower costs, reduced risk, and greater profitability—and given the current market conditions, the timing couldn’t be better,” said Luke Shardlow, CEO of Ai Lean.
Solving One of Self Storage’s Toughest Challenges
Handling delinquencies is an inevitable part of running a self-storage business. The combination of White Label Storage’s expert facility management and Ai Lean’s automation offers operators a smarter, more efficient way to address this ongoing challenge.
This partnership delivers key benefits to White Label clients:
More Efficient Operations: Lien management is laden with manual work and prone to human error. Ai Lean automates the entire process, easing the burden on operators while guaranteeing compliance with state-specific lien laws. The result: a smoother process, less time spent on paperwork and manual tasks, and more focus on profitable activities.
Improved Net Operating Income: The lien process can require a significant amount of time and money, resources that cut into revenue. Automating them helps recover more delinquent payments, reduces the frequency of lien actions, and strengthens overall financial performance.
