Space Manager

03/06/2026

Cloud technology is no longer a future consideration for self storage operators, it's becoming a key part of how businesses improve flexibility, accessibility and operational resilience.

One of the most common themes from our conversations at the SSA UK Conference in Telford was how operators are approaching digital transformation and what that means for their software platforms.

Tomorrow, we'll be discussing how Space Manager has evolved, what we've learned from working with operators across the UK and Europe, and where we're heading next.

Join Thomas Descourtier and Jez Lee as they share insights into:

☁️ The transition to Spaceman Cloud
📈 How customer needs are shaping product development
🚀 The future roadmap for the platform
⚙️ Developments across Spaceman Ops and Spaceman Shop
💬 Live Q&A

If you're interested in the future of self storage technology, we'd love to have you join the conversation.

Great to be visiting the team from Pelican Self Storage in Denmark today.

Tom and Jez are spending time with the team, sharing ideas, discussing future plans, and learning more about the opportunities and challenges facing operators.

Customer conversations like these are invaluable in helping us continue to evolve Space Manager for operators across Europe.

Thanks to everyone at Pelican for their hospitality.

60% of participating operators reported arrears above 2%.

That was one of the more striking findings from a recent operational deep dive we conducted with our UK self storage operators.

As the industry continues to focus on occupancy growth, it raises an interesting question:

Are arrears primarily a collections challenge, or are they becoming an operational workflow challenge?

Many operators are still managing payments, reconciliations and arrears through a mixture of manual processes and disconnected systems, creating additional friction across the revenue lifecycle.

We've pulled together the findings into a short operational deep dive exploring:
➡️ payment automation
➡️ arrears reduction
➡️ pricing maturity
➡️ revenue visibility

If you can’t see it, you can’t scale it.

Reporting in can get complex quickly, especially when data is spread across...

➡️ sites
➡️ systems
➡️ and spreadsheets.

Space Manager is built to handle the detail behind growing storage operations, bringing operational activity, occupier records and financial data into one platform.

So operators can see what is happening, understand performance and make faster, more confident decisions.

Why use 5 different tools when one structured platform can bring it all together?

From reservations and occupier management to billing, payments, reporting and integrations, Space Manager helps self-storage operators keep their core systems connected.

Less switching. More consistency. Better visibility across the business.

Growth adds complexity fast.

More sites, more moving parts, more workarounds and less visibility across the business.

Space Manager helps self-storage operators scale with better visibility, stronger consistency and more control, giving teams one clearer way to manage growth.

Because scaling should not mean more chasing, checking and correcting.
