      Transforming Your Facility with Nokē Smart Entry: From Traditional to Smart Storage

      Streamline Operations, Enhance Security, and Improve Efficiency with the Power of Smart Technology

      Transforming Your Facility from Traditional to Smart Storage with Nokē Smart Entry

      Traditional self-storage management involves a range of tools and tasks that can now be replaced with a single, streamlined solution: the Nokē Smart Entry (NSE) system. With the NSE system, a manager’s daily routine is consolidated into a user-friendly mobile app that simplifies operations, improves efficiency, and enhances tenant experience.

      Tools Replaced by the NSE System

      1. PC for Management Software and Gate Software

        • Traditional Use: Maintaining tenant records, monitoring unit statuses, and controlling gate access.
        • Smart Solution: With the manager's mobile app, managers can:
          • View tenant, unit, and access information in real-time.
          • Monitor unit statuses (e.g., Rented, Vacant, Overlock) and view alarms or activity notifications.
          • Access recent activity logs or use filters to customize results without needing a computer.

      2. Clipboard and Pen for Lock Checks

        • Traditional Use: Printed walkthrough reports to physically inspect locks.
        • Smart Solution: The app displays all open units, eliminating the need for manual inspections. Notifications alert managers to alarm activity, ensuring seamless monitoring.

      3. Remote Controls for Gate Access

        • Traditional Use: Opening gates without keypads, with limited functionality and frequent breakage.
        • Smart Solution: The manager's mobile app provides:
          • Instant access to all entry points.
          • Ability to open gates and other smart entry points directly from the Entries screen.
          • Scheduling options for gate operations, unlike traditional remotes.

      4. Toolbox for Tenant Lock Removal

        • Traditional Use: Cutting or drilling locks for lien sales or misplaced keys.
        • Smart Solution:
          • Smart locks eliminate physical locks entirely.
          • Automatic lock out's when in delinquency
          • Misplaced keys gone - "If you have your phone, you have your key"

      5. Management Lock Bag for Overlocks

        • Traditional Use: Manually applying and removing overlocks for delinquent units.
        • Smart Solution:
          • The app automatically denies access to tenants in Overlock status.
          • Payment prompts are integrated, directing tenants to the PMS system's online payment portal to restore access instantly without manual intervention.

      Benefits for Managers and Tenants

      1. Efficient Unit Preparation and Access:

        • Units can be rented online and accessed by tenants after app setup.
        • No need for managers to manually remove vacant locks for new tenants.

      2. Streamlined Payment and Access Restoration:

        • Tenants in Overlock status are guided to resolve payments seamlessly through the app.
        • Managers no longer need to track and remove overlocks individually.

      3. Enhanced Safety and Security:

        • The elimination of physical locks reduces injury risks and potential damage.
        • Digital controls enhance security by limiting unauthorized access.

      4. Flexibility for Remote Management:

        • Facility operations can be managed from anywhere via the mobile app.

      By adopting the Nokē Smart Entry system, storage managers can say goodbye to outdated tools and workflows, embracing a smarter, safer, and more efficient way to operate their facilities.
