Westorably  Self-storage management software

Run a storage facility without running after the rent.

Your units, tenants and payments live on one screen. Customers rent online at any hour of the night. Rent charges itself on the first of the month. Made for the owner of one, two or three buildings, not for a corporate portfolio.

No contract. Live in about a week. Your data exports whenever you want it.

01  The problem

You bought a building, not a front desk job.

Most independent operators run a real business on tools that were never built for it. Three things go wrong, every month, in the same order.

01

The spreadsheet is the system

Unit numbers on one tab, phone numbers on another, who paid written in a notebook by the till. One mistyped row and a unit sits empty for six weeks before anyone notices. Rent increases that were agreed in March quietly never happen.

Typical loss
2 to 5% of yearly revenue

02

You are the booking desk

Every rental needs you to pick up the phone, drive over, walk someone to a unit and write up a lease. Storage demand does not keep office hours. When you are at dinner on a Friday, the customer calls the facility down the road instead.

Typical loss
4 in 10 enquiries arrive after hours

03

Chasing rent never ends

Reminders, awkward phone calls, promises to pay on Friday, a second call on Monday. It is the least enjoyable work in the whole operation and the least valuable, and it comes back around every thirty days without fail.

Typical loss
6 to 12 hours a week

Sound familiar?

  • Which unit is 12-B again?
  • Do you have a ten by ten? (asked at 9pm)
  • Can I pay you Friday?
  • The gate code is on a sticky note behind the monitor.
  • We missed a move-out for two months.
02  How it works

Three steps, one week, then it runs on its own.

STEP 01

We move your records in

Send the spreadsheet, or a photo of the notebook. We build your unit map, load every tenant, rate and lease date, then check it with you on a call. You do not type anything.

  • Unit sizes, rates and current status
  • Tenant contacts and documents
  • Outstanding balances and due dates
STEP 02

Your facility goes online

You get a public rental page at westorably.com/your-facility. Customers see what is free, pick a unit, sign, pay and move in. At six in the morning or eleven at night, without calling you.

  • Live availability by size and price
  • Card payment handled by Stripe
  • Lease signed and filed automatically
STEP 03

Rent collects itself

Every tenant is charged on their own due date. Reminders go out three days early, receipts go out instantly, and anyone whose card fails is on your screen the next morning with the number of days attached.

  • Recurring charges, no invoicing
  • Automatic reminders and receipts
  • Overdue list, sorted by days late
03  What is in it

Eight things. All of them earn their place.

Enterprise storage suites ship four hundred features and a six week implementation. We built the eight that decide whether you get paid this month.

Live unit map

Your whole building as a grid. Green is paid, amber is due, red is late, grey is empty. You understand the facility in three seconds without reading a single number.

Online booking page

A rental page in your facility's name. Pick a unit, sign the lease, pay the first month. The move-in finishes without a phone call and without you driving over.

Automatic billing

Recurring card charges on each tenant's own due date, with proration, late fees and instant receipts. You will not write another invoice.

Reminders that get sent

Three days before, on the day, and after. Text messages if you want them. Polite, identical every time, and sent by software rather than by you at ten at night.

Tenant records

Contact details, ID scan, signed lease, full payment history and your own notes, searchable from one box. Nothing important lives in your phone any more.

Overdue tracking

Who is late, by how many days, and how much they owe, with a one click reminder and an escalation timeline you can actually follow to the end.

Reports in one click

Monthly revenue, occupancy trend, move-ins and move-outs, arrears rate. Exports to CSV for your accountant, your lender or your own peace of mind.

Works on your phone

The same screens in your pocket, with large text and buttons you can hit with a thumb. Approve a move-out from the truck. Check arrears from the sofa.

04  The unit map

This is the screen you will look at every morning.

Enterprise cost ranges are published market ranges and vary by vendor, contract and facility size.

07  Access control

Late payment closes the door. Payment opens it again.

Optional. If your facility still runs on padlocks, skip this page entirely. Most of our operators do at the start.

  1. 01

    The tenant books and pays online

    The moment the first payment clears, the system creates a PIN that works on their unit and nothing else.

  2. 02

    The PIN arrives by email and text

    They drive straight to the unit. No key handover, no meeting you at the gate, no office hours to work around.

  3. 03

    Every entry is written down

    Who opened which unit, and when. A searchable history you can hand to an insurer or attach to a police report.

  4. 04

    Overlocking happens by itself

    Past your grace period, access switches off at midnight. When they pay, it switches back on in seconds, with nobody driving to the site.

Card processingStandard Stripe rate, billed to you by Stripe2.9% + 30¢

Stripe's processing rates differ by country and card type. Annual plans are paid up front and include two months at no charge.

09  Security

Your tenant list is the business. We treat it that way.

We never touch card numbers

Payments run through Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 provider. Card details go from your tenant straight to Stripe and are never stored on our systems.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

TLS 1.2 or above for everything moving, AES-256 for everything stored, including tenant documents and identity scans.

Backed up every day

Automatic daily backups with point-in-time recovery, held on separate infrastructure from the live system.

Access you control

Separate roles for owner, manager and staff. A weekend employee sees the units, not the bank details. Sensitive actions are logged.

Your data leaves when you do

Full CSV export of units, tenants and payments at any time, without asking us. No hostage data and no exit fee.

GDPR and CCPA ready

A signable data processing addendum, a published list of sub-processors, and deletion on request. Read the privacy policy.

10  Getting set up

Seven days, and we do the typing.

Changing software is the part everyone dreads, so we made it something that happens to you rather than something you have to do. You send us what you have. We do the rest and show you the result on a call.

Start the seven day setup
  1. Day 1
    Kickoff call, 30 minutes

    We look at your facility together and agree unit numbering, sizes and rates.

  2. Day 2 to 3
    We build your account

    Unit map, tenants, balances and lease dates loaded, then reconciled against your records.

  3. Day 4
    You review it

    A shared screen walkthrough. You point at anything wrong and we fix it while you watch.

  4. Day 5
    Payments connected

    Your Stripe account links up and tenants are invited to add a card. Nobody is charged yet.

  5. Day 6
    Booking page goes live

    Your rental page is published and linked from your website and your Google listing.

  6. Day 7
    First automatic billing run

    Rent collects itself. You watch it happen once, then get on with your day.

11  Questions

Straight answers.

How long does it take to get started?

About seven days from the kickoff call to your first automatic billing run. You spend roughly one hour of that total, split between a 30 minute kickoff and a 30 minute review. We handle the data entry.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. If you use email and a web browser, you can use Westorably. The whole product is one dashboard with four main screens and large text. Most owners are comfortable within half an hour, and we stay on the call until you are.

What happens to the data in my spreadsheet?

Send it in whatever state it is in: Excel, Google Sheets, a CSV from another system, or photographs of a paper ledger. We import it, reconcile it against your balances and show you the result before anything goes live. Your original file stays exactly as it is.

How do tenants actually pay?

By card or bank debit through Stripe. Tenants add a payment method once, then rent is charged automatically on their due date every month. Cash and cheque payments can still be recorded by hand so your books stay complete.

What happens when a tenant is late?

Westorably retries the card, sends the reminder sequence you configured, applies your late fee on your schedule and lists the tenant on your overdue screen sorted by days late. If you use integrated smart locks, access can switch off automatically once your grace period runs out.

Do I need smart locks to use this?

No, and most operators start without them. Padlocks and a manual gate work fine. Smart lock control is an optional extra you can switch on later if you install compatible hardware.

Can I run more than one facility?

Yes. Each location is billed separately and you switch between them from one login. From the fourth location the rate drops to $129 per location per month, and you get combined reporting across the portfolio.

Is there a contract or a minimum term?

No minimum term on monthly billing. Cancel from inside the product at any time and you will not be charged again. Yearly plans are paid up front and give you two months free, but they are not refundable part way through, so start monthly if you are unsure.

What does the first year actually cost?

For a single facility on monthly billing: $499 setup plus $149 a month, so $2,287 across twelve months. On yearly billing it is $499 plus $1,490, so $1,989. Founding Operators pay $99 a month with the setup fee waived. Stripe's processing fees are separate and charged by Stripe.

Who owns the data, and can I get it out?

You do. Units, tenants, leases, documents and payment history are yours. There is a one click CSV export inside the product that works whether your account is active or cancelled, and you do not need to contact us to use it.

Does Westorably work outside the United States?

Yes. It works in any country where Stripe supports recurring payments, with local currency, date format and units of measure including square metres. Tax handling and lease templates are configurable, though we do not give legal advice on your local storage regulations.

What if something breaks at 7am on a Saturday?

Email hello@westorably.com and a person who works on the product answers, not a ticket queue. Standard response is the next business day. Priority Support customers get a reply within two hours during extended hours.
