Over the past year, we've been speaking with self-storage owners and operators to better understand their day-to-day reality.
Managing a self-storage facility is often more complex than it seems, especially with the tools currently available.
Through these conversations, two recurring needs have clearly stood out:

• Simplify daily operations;
• Have a tool that genuinely helps maximize the value of their real estate investment.

Billing, payment collection, late payment management, lease organization... everything quickly piles up.
And despite the growing importance of the industry, the available software solutions haven't really kept pace.

A Clear Reality: The Industry is Stuck

Throughout these exchanges, several frustrations kept coming back:

• Outdated interfaces;
• Aging technologies;
• Heavy, inflexible, and difficult-to-master solutions.

It quickly became clear that the industry was stuck: most existing software, built on older technological foundations, evolves slowly, constrained by large customer bases and investor pressures that make deep redesigns almost impossible.

Some Try to Patch Things Together… Without a Real Solution

Lacking truly adapted tools, many operators try to patch together makeshift solutions, combining:

• A CRM for client management;
• A payment solution for accounting;
• An inventory tool for unit management.

Some investors even considered building their own software — only to realize that creating a truly solid, scalable solution is far more complex and demanding than it looks.

On the other hand, many specialized platforms seem to have been designed by engineers focused solely on stacking features, without giving enough attention to user experience.
The result: cluttered, complicated platforms that slow down daily operations instead of streamlining them.

Faced with these challenges, it quickly became clear that a new approach was needed to modernize self-storage facility management.

That's Exactly Why Stortech Was Born

We decided to build Stortech differently:

• On modern technological foundations;
• With the agility of a startup;
• By putting user experience at the core, thanks to a dedicated team of UX/UI designers and software engineers;
• And by staying continuously connected to the real needs of operators.

Stortech isn't just another management software.
It’s a platform designed to evolve quickly, improve your day-to-day operations today, and grow the value of your facility over the long term.

Here's How Stortech Directly Addresses the Real-World Challenges
