QuikStor

This Friday, our Vice President of Growth Scott Worden is taking the platform live in front of the self-storage community.

The Storage Marketplace's Friday Show & Tell is a free, open session, and this week's topic is one worth showing up for: Modern Management Software That's Built to Scale Your Growing Portfolio.

If you're building a portfolio and want see what QuikStor looks like in action, this one is for you.

Most self-storage software is built by tech companies that studied self-storage. QuikStor and Patchwork Labs were built by operators who live it. Today the two connect.

QuikStor's native integration with Patchwork Labs brings Ava, the industry's leading conversational AI, directly into the QuikStor ecosystem. Every call answered. Up to 90 percent resolved automatically. Payments collected by voice or text. All without adding headcount.

Operators across more than 600 facilities using Patchwork have seen over a 10% reduction in operating costs. Now QuikStor operators have direct access to those results.

Bad, outdated software doesn't just frustrate your team. It costs you money. Real, quantifiable money.

QuikStor's 2026 Self-Storage Reliability Benchmark puts a number on what most operators have always felt but never calculated. Built from operator surveys, industry association data, and publicly available market research.

Three events. Three cities. One goal: connecting with multi-site owners and managers who keep this industry moving.

First up: we will be at the Mid-Atlantic Self Storage Conference & Trade Show on June 11-12 at the Ga***rd National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD.

We're looking forward to every conversation. Come say hello!

A 10-point gap in occupancy between institutionally managed self-storage facilities and independent operators doesn't happen by accident. It reflects differences in pricing strategy, operational efficiency, and technology adoption.

The good news: closing that divide with the right tools will pay off across your entire portfolio.

Peak season is officially here. Is your operation ready?

Most operators find out the hard way. Like when the rush hits and something breaks.

Here are 3 thing worth checking this week:
1. Walk through your online rental flow on your phone as a first-time tenant would. How many steps does it take? Were there any hiccups? If so, fix them before move-in volume picks up.

2. Pull your street rates against local competitors by unit type. Summer demand gives you pricing power, but only if rates are positioned before the surge. Not after.

3. Review your rent increase strategy against local regulations. What's permissible in California may differ in Texas, and getting this wrong is an expensive mistake.

When was the last time you smiled while thinking about your tenant insurance reporting process?

If the process involves a monthly export, a manual submission, or data sitting outside your FMS, there's a better way.

QuikStor's integration with SBOA Insurance eliminates manual reporting entirely. Transaction data flows automatically from QuikStor to SBOA Insurance daily, claims move faster, and that administrative drag disappears.

SBOA Insurance supports over 2,700 facilities with no-deductible tenant coverage built specifically for self-storage. Now it connects directly to QuikStor.

This Memorial Day, we honor those who gave their lives in service to the United States. We are grateful for their sacrifice and extend our gratitude to the families who carry that legacy forward.

From the QuikStor team, we wish everyone a safe and restful long weekend.
