R6 Digital Launches R6 Automate To Improve Self-Storage Operations

At the Self Storage Association of Australasia’s annual GC24 convention, R6 Digital – Australia’s most awarded supplier of tech solutions for the self-storage industry - unveiled its latest innovation: R6 Automate.

Speaking to an audience of over 450 industry professionals, Michael Dogger, CEO of R6 Digital, highlighted the growing role of automation in transforming self-storage operations. “Every self-storage owner is looking to do more with less,” Dogger explained. “Remote management and automation are no longer future goals – they are essential for success today.”

With many operators now managing fully remote sites across Australia, R6 Automate provides a seamless solution for businesses looking to transition to remote or even staffless operations.

The R6 Automate Framework: 4 Key Areas of Innovation

A Unified Solution for Modern Self Storage Operators

R6 Automate combines the best tools in the industry with R6 Digital’s proprietary innovations into a single, user-friendly platform. While some suppliers aim to offer a “one-size-fits-all” solution, R6 Automate recognises that flexibility is crucial and tools must be tested and work seamlessly.

This platform empowers operators to manage their facilities—from customer onboarding to move-out - entirely remotely, enhancing efficiency and delivering an exceptional tenant experience.

With more than 85% of storers happy to rent online and use apps to manage their rentals, whether operating a single facility or a network of sites, R6 Automate offers the tools and flexibility to help self-storage businesses thrive in the fast-paced, evolving self-storage landscape.
