How to Evaluate and Choose Self-Storage Management Software

With all of the property-management software on the market today, how does a self-storage operator choose the program that’s right for his business? Should you use Web-based or PC-based? What can the cloud do for you? What features will help you make decisions and maximize revenue? Do you need specific applications or reporting abilities? When choosing a management software, facility owners and managers must consider the specific needs of their operation as well as staff, budget and long-term business goals. It can be difficult to compare programs and narrow the list of choices, particularly if you’re not clear about your needs or the options available.

During this free, educational webinar, attendees will get insider advice from four of the self-storage industry’s most respected software providers. You will learn: 

• Insight to today’s facility-management software programs, including popular platforms and must-have features
• Important things to consider when beginning your software search
• What to look for when evaluating multiple programs
• Pitfalls to avoid

If you’re launching a new self-storage business or looking to make a change to your existing management software, take advantage of this informative, live event. Time will be allotted for questions from the audience, so don’t miss your chance to get answers!
