Renting a self storage unit increasingly starts on a mobile app. Customers expect an e-commerce-like experience: fast comparison, transparent pricing and instant booking. At Softech.app, we designed and delivered a self storage mobile app for search, comparison and booking that meets these expectations and helps operators scale digitally.

The project was built for Rentya, a modern ecosystem for the self storage industry.

Project goal: digital self storage rental

  • searches storage units by location
  • compares prices, unit sizes and availability
  • enables online self storage booking
  • allows users to manage payments and rentals in-app
