Self-storage software tracks each unit from the moment it’s put up for rent until the tenant leaves. ASLOT brings online rental, the contract, the gate code and what happens on site together in a single tool, for self-storage centres, container sites and furniture storage. The on-site operator sees what concerns them on their phone, the manager keeps the overall view, and tenants sort things out in their own time.

In many self-storage centres, occupancy lives in a spreadsheet, contracts in a binder, payments in another piece of software and the gate in an access controller programmed by hand. Each tool does its job, and it’s the team that spends its days copying from one to the other.
At 18:00 on a Saturday, someone calls to find out whether there’s a 6 m² unit left. The on-site agent has to get hold of the office, which opens the file hoping it’s up to date. A tenant wants to move from their 4 m² to an 8 m²: a new contract to print, an appointment to fit in, a code to reprogram. These small tasks eat into the hours you’d rather spend with customers or on the site.
Useful storage management software moves information around by itself. A unit rented online comes with its signed contract and an active code. The operator sees on their phone who is moving in today and the latest alerts. The manager follows occupancy, contracts and events at each site from the office, without calling anyone.
The agent checks a unit from their phone, the manager follows from their computer. What one notes down, the other sees straight away: no logbook passed from hand to hand, no calls to find out where things stand.
A customer looking for a unit on a Sunday evening rents it straight away online, from the list of available units, with the size and price in front of them. On Monday morning, there’s nobody to call back and no file to key in.
The on-site operator sees the day’s move-ins and the site’s alerts. The manager sets prices and hours, and oversees several centres. Information passes from one to the other without a phone call.
The code is created with the contract, follows the tenant if they change unit and stops when they leave. Nobody has an access controller to reprogram.
Entries, exits, alerts: events across your sites can be followed from the office or from your phone. The details are shown in the demo.
The unit appears online with its floor area and price. Anyone can rent it, at whatever time suits them.
The customer has signed their contract on screen and paid their first month. They receive their code and can come the same day.
The tenant extends, moves up a size or changes aisle. The contract and code follow, and the on-site team sees their visits.
At the end of the contract, the code stops working. The unit goes back online when you decide, with no re-keying.
Self-storage software is the tool an operator uses to rent out units, keep track of tenants and manage access to the centre. It’s also called storage unit management software, or furniture storage software. It serves first and foremost as a register: which unit is vacant, who occupies which unit, since when, and under what contract.
The simplest tools stop there. They keep the list of tenants and produce invoices. The most complete ones also handle everything that goes on around it: online rental by customers themselves, contract signing, monthly payments, the gate code and site monitoring. They serve the whole team: the agent doing the rounds of the aisles and the person managing from the office work from the same information.
ASLOT belongs to this second group. The same tool serves indoor self-storage centres, container sites on open land and furniture storage, on one site or several.
Demos soon start to look alike. To compare two self-storage software packages, the most telling approach is to come with real situations from your centre and see what the tool does with them.
If the answer is no on any point, ask which other tool takes over, and who links it with the rest. The detail of each point is easier to see in a demo, with the units from your own centre.
You can run a storage centre with several tools: rental management software, a payment solution, an access controller for the gate. It works, as long as someone makes the link. That person creates the new tenant’s code, changes it when the tenant switches unit, removes it at the end of the contract and lets the on-site agent know.
Making this link by hand takes time every week, and things slip through. A former tenant still getting in six months after leaving. A customer who has changed unit and whose code still only opens the old aisle on a Friday evening. A contractor who keeps their code for months after their assignment has ended.
With a single piece of software, the contract drives everything else and the whole team reads the same record. You also have a single point of contact when a question comes up. Our comparison of booking only and booking with access details both set-ups.
The first screen answers the questions you ask yourself when you get in: how many units are rented, which ones are coming free, who is moving in today, and whether anything happened overnight.
This information helps you organise the week: scheduling the agent’s visit before a move-in, adjusting access hours for the summer, putting a refurbished aisle back online. The running a storage centre day to day page goes further into how to organise a site.
In a self-storage centre, two jobs meet. The operator is on the ground: they let in a customer who has forgotten their code, check a unit before a new rental, walk round the aisles in the morning. The manager, in the office or at head office, sets prices and hours, keeps track of contracts and looks at the sites side by side.
Each has their own access to the software, with what concerns them. The operator receives alerts on their phone and gets onto the site with a code valid during their working hours. The manager sees everything, across one or more centres grouped under the same account: each site keeps its own units, sizes, prices and contract. When the operator marks a unit as ready, the manager sees it at once, with no message to pass on.
Contractors have their own access too, limited to their days. When an assignment ends, it stops, and their visits stay in the log. The page on 24/7 access to a self-storage centre covers this in more detail.
At ASLOT, the price follows the size of the centre: €1 excl. VAT per unit per month, with a minimum of €59 excl. VAT per month. A 40-unit centre is therefore on the minimum, €59 excl. VAT. An 80-unit centre pays €80 excl. VAT per month. From 100 units, the price per unit decreases on a sliding scale.
This price includes everything the team uses day to day: online rental, contracts, payments, access, and connected cameras and alarms. There are no modules to add and no higher tier, and every team member has their own access.
Setup is a turnkey flat fee. It includes putting your units online, the standard contract ready to sign, connecting the access points and training your team. The amount depends on your centre and is quoted with you. Everything else is on the pricing page.
The software is priced per unit: €1 excl. VAT per unit per month, with a minimum of €59 excl. VAT per month and a sliding scale from 100 units. Online rental, access, cameras, alarms, contracts and online payments are included, for the whole team. Setup is a turnkey flat fee, handled by a dedicated contact who stays with you afterwards.
* Prices shown exclude VAT.
Software that handles the whole chain: online rental, contract signed on screen, monthly payment, access code linked to the contract and site tracking, shared between the on-site team and the office. The simplest way to judge is on your own units, during a free 30-minute demo.
Yes. A unit in a building, a container on open land or a locker are all managed the same way: a unit rented by the month, with a contract and access. Your units are set up exactly as they are on the ground, indoors and outdoors.
Yes. They move to another size or another aisle, and their contract and code follow. The on-site team sees the change as soon as it’s made.
Yes. Invoices go to your accounts without re-keying, and they are compatible with e-invoicing.
Yes. Each site keeps its own units, prices and contract, and the manager has the overall view. Each site’s operators and contractors have their own access, during their working hours.
A dedicated project manager. They put your units online, prepare the standard contract, oversee the connection of your access points and train your team. They then remain your day-to-day contact.
The demo lasts 30 minutes and is free. We start from your unit sizes and prices. You see a customer rent a unit and receive their code, then what the on-site agent and the manager in the office see of it.
