How Accurate is Calcumate?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
While it\u2019s important to have a size guide on your website, it\u2019s even more important that your storage estimator is accurate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over or under-estimating how much storage space a customer is going to need is a sure-fire way to cause headaches on move-in day, and perhaps even lose the reservation to a competitor \u2013 if they\u2019ve received a more realistic quote from a neighbouring facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why we vigorously test Calcumate, to ensure we\u2019re always recommending the right amount of space to your customers. Using a combination of algorithms, we can apply real-life logic to our size estimator, making sure things like this don\u2019t happen\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– TVs placed under heavy items – Furniture sticking out of the storage unit – Mattresses being packed flat into the space<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, Calcumate shows your customers not only the right amount of space for their needs but the best way to stack their items too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips to make sure the calculator doesn\u2019t under-estimate your sizes.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. Be conservative with your dimensions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
For example, you have a 100 sq ft unit – Width \u2013 10ft, Depth \u2013 10ft, Height \u2013 8ft<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, you set this unit in the calculator to \u2013 Width \u2013 9ft, Depth \u2013 9ft, Height \u2013 8ft<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if a potential customer is recommended a 100 sq ft unit by our calculator on your website, you can be sure that they only have a maximum of 81 sq ft\u2019s worth of items, so they\u2019ll easily fit into your 100 sq ft unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
2. Give yourself some buffer with larger items<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
With every item in Calcumate, you have the option to increase the size by 20% or 30%. So, if you know items like bookcases or fridges can be a squeeze for your smaller units, you can give these items a buffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
