Self Storage Manager, Inc. (SSM), a leading solutions provider for the self-storage industry, has announced the integration of Microsoft Fabric, which enhances its property management software with Power BI reports and dashboards. This move aims to augment business insights and analytics capabilities, facilitating more data-driven decision-making for self-storage operators.
SSM’s new suite incorporates Power BI to transform data from their systems and other applications into interactive visualizations and actionable insights. These tools enable operators to connect to multiple data sources and visualize crucial metrics, benefiting teams in operations, finance, and marketing.
Rohan Shenoy, President of SSM, highlighted the offering of over 200 premium reports and upwards of 50 advanced dashboards. Developed with significant operators, the tools cater to diverse industry requirements. SSM also plans to expand its template library continuously.
The integration introduces enterprise-level features for major operators and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), including a dedicated Power BI workspace. Operators can leverage existing templates or design custom dashboards and widgets while integrating data from external systems like accounting and human resources.
Additionally, ongoing collaboration with Microsoft has resulted in enhanced AI and analytics within Power BI, set for release in July. These upgrades feature real-time insights, natural language querying via Power BI Q&A, and time series forecasting for trend analysis.
Self Storage Manager, Inc. offers a range of products for single and multi-facility operators, including management software, call center modules, and customer portals, among others. Their solutions are implemented across North and South America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
This integration signifies a major step toward smarter data management and decision-making in the self-storage industry. It underscores SSM’s commitment to innovation and continuous improvement, ensuring operators can utilize advanced technology for enhanced operational efficiency.
