Seminar overview
Industry Insight | Removal & Storage | Revenue | Storage
Remote management has shifted from a niche idea to a mainstream operating model in self-storage. Rising costs, staffing challenges and changing customer expectations are driving operators to rethink how facilities are run. This session shares real-world experience from building and scaling remote-first operations – highlighting what works, what to watch out for and how to balance automation with the human touch.
In this session we’ll look into:
– Understanding the drivers: Why remote management is becoming more relevant and how operators are adapting.
– Exploring the models: From full service to assisted and fully remote, what each approach looks like in practice.
– Learning practical lessons: What it takes to set up, scale and run remote-managed facilities successfully.
– Future-proofing your business: How technology, customer expectations and operations are evolving – and what that means for your strategy.
