AI receptionist for self storage
The short answer
Last updated
For self storage
"What size unit do I need?" They're moving this weekend.
Storage enquiries come from people in the middle of a move, often in the evening and at weekends. Many sites are unstaffed, so nobody's around when a gate code stops working.
- People think in rooms or houses, not square metres
- Enquiries come in evenings and weekends, mid-move
- Nobody's on site when a customer's code doesn't work
- Customers with overdue accounts call worried about their belongings
How FirstVoice fixes it
FirstVoice answers every enquiry, recommends the right size, reserves the unit and handles access problems after hours.
- Asks what they're storing, like the contents of a 2-bedroom house or a car, and for how long
- Suggests a unit size from your size guide
- Asks the move-in date and access needs, then texts a reservation link
- Texts your lockout process, or transfers to your on-call manager, without giving out codes
- Tells callers to ring 111 if there's a break-in in progress
