As a self storage operator, you know the frustrations customers face when trying to choose the right unit size, which can lead to lost leads and lengthy customer inquiries. That’s why we at Stora have partnered with Calcumate, the world’s leading 3D storage calculator, to streamline the customer experience and increase conversions.
Together, we’re transforming how customers select storage units worldwide.
Solving a common challenge in self storage: helping customers pick the right size
One of the biggest challenges in self storage is guiding customers to the correct unit size quickly and easily. With the new integration of Calcumate into the Stora platform, operators can offer customers an accurate and visual 3D size guide. This tool enables customers to enter their household items and immediately see which units will fit their belongings, reducing uncertainty and the need for extra customer service assistance.
The integration has been carefully designed to ensure that only those prospects who are unsure of their size requirements need to use it. Those who do are shown only the units which will fit their belongings and are pushed along in the rental journey, to increase their chances of converting into a customer.
Why this partnership matters for storage operators
The collaboration has been designed specifically to increase conversion rates for operators while enhancing the customer experience. Here’s how:
✅ Increased Conversions: With an accurate view of unit fit, customers are more likely to complete rentals quickly and confidently.
✅ Streamlined Process: Fewer calls and emails are required, as customers can self-select the right unit size based on their actual items.
✅ Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: The 3D calculator is embedded in the rental flow, only triggering for those who need it, ensuring the rental process remains efficient.
