The Unit Trac tour

Your whole facility, handled.

Unit Trac collects the rent, decides who gets through the gate, follows up with late payers and keeps your books. You get your day back. Follow one day at Acme Units, 120 storage units and 16 RV and boat spaces, and watch it work.

5:59 AM Acme Units

Five buildings, an RV lot, and an owner with a day job.

Unit Trac was built by a couple who bought a small storage facility in Morton, Illinois in 2012 while they both worked full time. They could not find software that fit, so they wrote their own. They still run that facility.

This is the day it was built for.

6:00 AM Payments

The rent came in before you woke up.

Autopay runs early every morning, on each lease's own day. Invoices go out by themselves before rent is due, and late fees land on the schedule you set.

Payment Processing

7:42 AM Gates & security

Behind on rent, the code stops. Paid up, it opens.

With Gate Automation, Unit Trac tells your gate who gets in. You set the rule, like seven days past due, and access follows the rent from there.

4815 Enter your code Access Granted Access Denied Code not found

Code history

  • A-03 · Marcus L. · 4815Auto-access · Customer is not past due.Access Granted

Try it: enter for Marcus, who is paid up, or for Ray, who is seven days late.

Gate Automation works with OpenTech Alliance, PTI Security Systems, Spider Door and DoorKing, and costs $30 per gate per month.
