At Storman, our tagline is “Self storage management made easy” – and we take this seriously. That’s why it was a no-brainer to join forces with Gavin Koorey and his team at StorNow. With over 20 years of industry experience, Gavin saw the need for a seamless digital experience for both customers and operators. He set about creating StorNow Digital and approached Storman to be part of the journey.

New Zealand-based self storage facility StoreStuff needed a solution to display pricing, promotions and availability while generating online bookings and increasing leads in Storman. Owner Thomas Southgate sought a system that could handle real-time bookings, automate onboarding and integrate seamlessly while ensuring security and compliance.

A purpose-built package from Storman and StorNow provided StoreStuff with a scalable digital marketing solution, not just a website. Enhancements like local SEO, Google Ads, Live Chat and 3D Image subscriptions were fully integrated with Storman.

Key features of the integration include:

• Website integration: Instantly update prices, add promotions, toggle display settings and manage unit features.
• Real-time booking synchronisation: Customers can view and reserve units instantly, reducing double bookings.
• Automated ID verification and onboarding: Ensures compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements and enhances security.
• Seamless payment processing: Customers can make secure online payments, reducing manual invoicing.
• Operational efficiency: Staff members gain real-time visibility into bookings and unit availability.
• By adopting the Storman–StorNow integration, StoreStuff has improved occupancy, asking rates, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
• Increased online conversions: Customers can book and pay for storage in just a few clicks.
• Reduced administrative workload: Automating manual quote requests frees up staff time.
• Improved revenue: Quickly adjust pricing and promotions within Storman to maximise earnings.
• Customers can also add insurance or purchases from Storman’s integrated box shop.
• Enhanced customer experience: A seamless digital journey improves satisfaction and retention.
• Stronger security and compliance: Integrated ID verification ensures regulatory compliance before access is granted.
• 24/7 availability: The system serves new customers even on staff days off.

Gavin Koorey, founder of StorNow, stated: “Storman’s integration with StorNow Digital has been a game-changer for self storage operators. By combining industry-leading management software with a seamless online display and booking system, we’ve created a solution that benefits both businesses and customers.”

StoreStuff owner Thomas Southgate shared: “The integration between Storman and StorNow has transformed the way we operate. Our customers can now see real-time prices and availability, book online, verify their ID and move in with minimal friction. This has improved our revenue, occupancy rates and customer satisfaction. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

The Storman–StorNow partnership exemplifies the power of integration in self storage. By providing businesses like StoreStuff with an automated, customer-centric solution, it enhances efficiency, security and the user experience. As digital transformation reshapes the industry and more customers seek simplified online booking, collaborations like this will drive future success.
