Stora and Calcumate Partner to Increase Rentals for Self Storage Operators in the UK and across Europe
Key messages
- Stora and Calcumate have concluded a partnership agreement which sees Stora become the first self storage software company with a predominantly UK/European focus to integrate Calcumate deeply into its quote/rental flow.
- Calcumate will be available to new and existing Stora customers from today.
Belfast, UK and Melbourne, Australia – 29 October 2024 – Stora and Calcumate today announced the conclusion of a partnership agreement which sees Stora become the first UK/European-focussed self storage software company to integrate Calcumate, the world’s leading 3D storage calculator / size guide, deeply into its quote / rental flow. Calcumate functionality is available to new and existing Stora customers from today.
With Calcumate’s innovative unit size guide, Stora now allows prospective self storage customers to quickly and accurately calculate which storage unit options will fit their household items, ensuring they can quickly, easily and correctly choose the storage unit size that’s right for them. Calcumate displays a 3D animation, showing exactly how their things will fit inside, so that they can gain even more confidence in their size decision and see exactly how to pack their items in.
The integration of Calcumate into Stora’s rental flow has been carefully designed to ensure that only those prospects who are unsure of their size requirements need to use it. Those who do are shown only the units which will fit their belongings and are pushed along in the rental journey, to increase their chances of converting into a customer.
Stora Founder and CEO Gavin Shields, said the integration with Calcumate is yet another reason to choose the Stora platform:
“At Stora, we’re constantly seeking innovative ways to help our customers turn website visitors into paying clients. Many of our customers have had Calcumate embedded within their Stora Storefronts for years, so it felt natural to expand our partnership. We’re excited to introduce an enhanced Calcumate experience within Stora, available to all our customers, designed to boost conversions even further.”
“We’re pleased to be partnering with an innovative company in Calcumate who share our passion for user and customer experience design.”
Calcumate CEO Ross Metherell, said:
“Calcumate is proud to support Stora’s commitment to user and customer experience design as they rapidly expand their customer base throughout the UK, Europe and beyond. It is a pleasure to be partnering with Stora, which is, like Calcumate, focused on building cloud software that delivers an excellent experience for the end user.”
In addition to building great software, the Stora team comprises experienced self storage operators who operate their own storage facilities, meaning their software is built not only to suit others’ requirements, but also their own high standards as operators. We look forward to working with Stora’s experienced team self storage and technology professionals.”
