Strategic collaboration enables seamless technology transition as Storage Star doubles its managed portfolio
BLUE BELL, Pa., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Self Storage Manager, Inc. (SSM), a leading provider of enterprise property management software for the self-storage industry, is proud to announce the successful onboarding of 60 newly acquired Storage Star properties to the SSM Cloud platform in a single day, supporting one of the company's largest expansion initiatives to date. With the acquisition, Storage Star has doubled the number of properties it owns, marking a significant milestone in the company's continued growth.
SSM's dedicated data migration, implementation, training, and client success teams collaboratively worked with Storage Star team at every stage, from migrating critical customer and operational data to validating configurations, training personnel, and coordinating go-live activities, which allowed all 60 locations to begin operating on the SSM Cloud platform in a single day.
"This implementation reflects exactly what our team is built to do," said Kat Shenoy, CEO & Chairman of Self Storage Manager, Inc. "Large-scale conversions require much more than technology; they require experienced people, disciplined project management, and a true partnership with the client. We have the resources, well-defined processes and most importantly the confidence to migrate large number of properties in a single day. When operators are making significant investments in growth, they need a technology partner that can execute with confidence. We're honored that Storage Star entrusted us with such an important milestone in their company's history."
Matt Garibaldi, Chief Executive Officer of Storage Star, credited the close collaboration between the two organizations for the project's success.
"Doubling the size of our portfolio is an exciting milestone for Storage Star, but it also presented a significant operational challenge. The Self Storage Manager team was an outstanding partner throughout the entire process. Their preparation, communication, and commitment gave us confidence every step of the way, and the successful launch of all 60 properties in a single day exceeded our expectations. We appreciate the dedication their entire organization brought to this project. SSM top management, including their CEO Kat Shenoy, were available to our team right from the beginning of the implementation project until the successful onboarding of all properties. We have ambitious growth plans and are looking forward to a long term and mutually beneficial partnership with SSM for years to come."
The implementation further demonstrates Self Storage Manager's ability to support operators of all sizes—from independent owners to large multi-state portfolios—with proven migration expertise and scalable implementation processes designed to minimize disruption.
