179. Automating Storage Facilities using Tech w/ Hayden Buettner

Self storage is known for its low maintenance costs and relatively low upkeep compared to other real estate types. However, offering certain features to customers, such as convenience, privacy, and improved customer service, can help you stand out amongst your competitors. Today, we're talking with Hayden Buettner from Janus international. They pioneered the NoKe automated locking system that we use on our facilities. We talk to him about how the advancement in technology, which used to be a competitive advantage, has more or less become a necessity. Additionally, how has NoKe improved our operations, and what's next for the future of Self Storage tech?  Check out Janus - https://www.janusintl.com/ NEW sign up for our SSI community on facebook! https://www.selfstorageincome.com/ssi-community  Grab my audiobook Growing Wealth in Self Storage for FREE: https://www.selfstorageincome.com/free-audiobook  Join Copper Storage Management + Live Oak Bank for a discussion about self-storage remote 3rd-party management, financing and more!
