Full-Facility Automation for Everyday Operations

Designed to replace repetitive manual work, not add another system to manage.

Tenant Self Service App

For tenants

Fast, 3-minute self-service onboarding for tenants with minimal or no staff involvement.

Tenants unlock doors, manage deliveries, view cameras, and control heating and lighting directly from the app.

For operators

Access syncs with contracts and invoices. New tenants provisioned automatically, non-payers restricted, former renters revoked instantly. 10-30 hours/week of manual work eliminated.

Metering and billing data flows directly to your business software. No monthly exports, no spreadsheets.

Energy adjusts automatically using occupancy, sensors, and real-time behavior.

Real-time alerts for power, technical, or security issues. Respond before tenants notice.

Plugs Into Your Existing Stack: Fentrica integrates with your existing facility management, booking, and accounting software.

Automation That Pays for Itself

Fentrica customers say that digital, contactless sites fill faster, stay full longer, and often command 15–25% higher rents than traditional storage because the experience is seamless and always available.

How One Operator Scaled to 9 Sites and 246 Units Without Adding Staff

This case study reflects real results. The operator requested anonymity to protect their competitive advantage.

Challenge

A new storage operator launched with the goal of offering a fully contactless, 24/7 digital experience across 9 locations and 246 units. They wanted to differentiate through a seamless mobile app experience while keeping operations extremely lean. To support this model, they needed a platform that could centralise access, energy, metering, monitoring, and alerts across all sites.

Solution

From day one, the operator used Fentrica as the core automation layer for their entire portfolio. Access control, metering, cameras, heating, alerts, and remote monitoring all run through one unified system. The tenant-facing mobile app gives renters 24/7 self-service control — a key part of the operator's competitive edge and premium positioning.

Results

Lean operations from the start

All 9 sites are managed by a small team without the staffing overhead seen in traditional storage operations.

2–3 hires avoided

According to the CEO, losing Fentrica would immediately require hiring 2–3 additional people just to maintain daily operations.

70%+ of issues resolved remotely

Most technical issues and access anomalies are handled without visiting the site.

Faster occupancy and stronger reviews

The 24/7 tenant mobile app and contactless experience help the operator fill units faster and deliver consistently positive customer experiences.

15-25% higher rental income

A fully digital, app-driven experience allows the operator to charge significantly higher prices than traditional storage facilities.

CEO Comment

Our entire model relies on running high-quality, contactless storage with a very small team. Without Fentrica, we would need two or three more people immediately. The 24/7 mobile app experience is also a big reason we can charge higher rents than traditional storage.
