15 Case Studies
A storEDGE Case Study
Byrd’s Mini Storage is a family-owned self-storage operator in northern Georgia that grew from a single 1997 facility to an eight-location brand (the flagship is 135,000 sq. ft. with just over 600 units). As the business expanded into climate-controlled units, RV/boat parking, portables, and two unmanned locations, Byrd’s needed modern facility management and e-commerce tools to replace pen-and-paper processes and enable online rentals, move-ins, and bill pay — capabilities they implemented using storEDGE (and RentalCenter™ for unmanned sites).
storEDGE migrated Byrd’s data to its platform in 2015 and provided an SEO-optimized website, online rental/move-in workflows, a lead system for portable reservations, and electronic lease signing, simplifying operations across traditional and portable inventory. The result: rapid portable uptake (8 of 12 units rented in the first week), streamlined management of two unmanned facilities and portable deliveries, and continued growth and security for Byrd’s Mini Storage — all enabled by storEDGE.
