Many operators leave the auditing of their facilities to the management software and their accountants, but how good are these audits and would a fresh pair of eyes bring a tangible benefit?
Auditing a self-storage facility is more than crunching numbers, you need to understand how the industry works and the procedures that must be followed. It is a time consuming task and many companies leave their management software to do it for them but is it wise when all they are is a collection of changeable databases? Obviously if you are running our StorMan Management Software which has an intuitive self checking dynamic database you can be confident that everything on the system is correct however what about the physical aspect of the paper trail?
Everything needs to be put away and filed according to company policy and industry regulations. Ideally a manager would be a great candidate but you can't have the staff auditing their own stores can you? It may also be prohibitively expensive to move staff around auditing each others stores.
UR-Store Self-Storage Consultants will come and audit your stores and give you a breakdown of occupancy rates and discounts as well as physically check customers contracts and insurance policies if you need us to. We can look at individual stores, by region or even audit company wide, it really is your choice.
So next time you are looking at the numbers, ask yourself how accurate they are and then ask yourself how do you really know that?
