Different software, different access control, and different hardware across a portfolio. Those differences create gaps, and gaps mean missed intelligence.
StorageDefender is built to be flexible for exactly that reason. Our Smart Storage Units produce unit-level intelligence that’s easy to centralize across your entire portfolio, regardless of what systems you’re running.
In this video, Mark Cieri and Alyssa Quill, CEO of Storage Asset Management, explain exactly how that plays out across the SAM portfolio:
“We’ve got different gate systems, slightly different hardware and systems at different properties. So that causes some holes in the data set that we want. This one source of data, no matter what hardware we have at some properties, can just be pumped right into our machine learning and AI predictive models. It just fills in a hole that we had before.” – Alyssa Quill
Some providers can’t work with your existing infrastructure, so they ask you to replace it.
StorageDefender was built so you simply don’t have to make that choice.

How Smart Units Help Self-Storage Operators Manage Facilities Remotely
An unstaffed facility doesn’t have to mean an unmonitored one. See how Smart Units give self-storage operators real-time visibility, without daily on-site staff.

How Self-Storage Operators Maintain StorageDefender Smart Units
In Episode 2 of The Truth Behind the Door, self-storage operator Gary Edmonds gets real about what maintaining Smart Storage Units actually requires, and the answer comes down to just two things: long battery life and fast network response. Here’s how StorageDefender keeps maintenance off an operator’s plate entirely…
