How StorageMart Powers the World’s Largest Private Self-Storage Portfolio with Storable Edge
StorageMart chose Storable Edge because they saw a platform built for the future. While evaluating solutions, they weren’t just looking for a system that could handle their current needs. They needed technology that could scale and evolve alongside their ambitious growth plans.
The Challenge
As a third-generation family business with over 60 years in self-storage, StorageMart faced a critical challenge. The company was experiencing rapid growth, expanding from around 100 stores to over 300 locations across multiple countries. Their legacy technology couldn’t keep pace.
- No international solution existed.
- Onboarding was too slow.
- Limited customization.
The Solution
The implementation focused on three critical areas:
- International Operations Foundation
Our vision for Storable Edge always included true international capabilities. Working with StorageMart, one of the world’s largest operators, validated and refined this roadmap.
The platform now seamlessly handles multiple currencies, local regulations (including French-first requirements in French Canada), and different market conventions (weekly vs. monthly pricing displays, varying customer expectations). StorageMart’s real-world needs across Canada and the UK helped ensure Edge could deliver for enterprise operators with global ambitions. - Intuitive User Experience
The platform needed to work for store managers with varying levels of technical expertise. “We have locations with eight full-time team members and 7,000 units, which is very different than a facility with 400 units in the Midwest,” Adam notes. Edge serves as the core point of sale across all these scenarios. - Enterprise Customization Through APIs
Rather than waiting for feature requests, StorageMart gained the ability to innovate at their own pace. The platform provides access to their own data, allowing them to create custom reports and integrate with other systems.
The Results
At a Glance
- Faster onboarding for new store managers, reducing time to independent operation
- International integration across U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom
- 370+ locations managed on a single, scalable platform
- Multi-country operations with unified technology supporting different currencies, languages, and regulations
- Enhanced operational flexibility through hybrid staffing models and data-driven decision making
Built for Continued Growth
StorageMart’s partnership with Storable has created a foundation for sustained growth and innovation in an evolving industry.
- Competitive advantage through innovation: The ability to integrate new technologies and test innovations from other industries keeps StorageMart at the forefront of the self-storage sector.
- Scalable infrastructure: As StorageMart continues adding locations across three countries, they have a platform that can grow with them without requiring fundamental changes.
- Operational intelligence: Data access enables continuous improvement in everything from staffing decisions to customer experience optimization.
- Future-ready platform: With AI and other emerging technologies reshaping customer expectations, StorageMart has the flexibility to adopt new capabilities at their own pace.
We don’t want to wait for this next feature that we’re kind of begging for. We want to be able to go out and find something that maybe even in an industry like hotel or airline is becoming really successful and then have a tool that we can partner with to bring that to market together.
