StorageDefender Announces WMP 3.5 For Full Facility Smart Automation

StorageDefender Inc. has announced the upcoming release of WMP 3.5, the latest enhancement of its widely-deployed Web Management Portal (WMP) and software platform. This next release is designed to provide self-storage operators with improvements focused on deeper facility automation, visibility, and incident management, all while further driving tenant satisfaction and revenue.

WMP 3.5, part of the third-generation platform launched in September 2024, enhances Smart Units, Smart Zones, and incorporates +VisualVerify, among other new features. This enterprise-grade platform provides centralized facility management, giving operators greater control and efficiency across all locations.

“I’m proud of our team for this major advancement in our smart tech facility automation solution,” said Mark Cieri, CEO of StorageDefender. “We’re striving to simplify operations with a ‘single pane of glass’ approach in our Web Management Portal, empowering operators to monitor and automate their entire portfolio. Our all-in-one platform streamlines workflows, drives revenue, and ensures tenant peace of mind.”

New Features in WMP 3.5 Include: 

1. +VisualVerify Integration: A standout feature in WMP 3.5 is the expanded integration of +VisualVerify, which centralizes video footage from all camera infrastructures—existing or newly installed, regardless of type or location. This enables operators to seamlessly review cloud-based recordings through a single, user-friendly dashboard, providing a comprehensive and curated view of their facility’s activity. When combined with Smart Unit and Smart Zone smart devices, this integration streamlines incident reviews, saves time, and significantly improves overall operational efficiency.
2. Advanced Incident Escalation and Management: WMP 3.5 provides advanced, customizable escalation and response protocols, ensuring swift and efficient resolution of operational concerns. The dashboard categorizes incidents by severity, enabling operators to prioritize and address critical issues first.
3. Multi-Facility Management and User Access Control: The WMP 3.5 platform provides enterprise-grade management of all facilities through a centralized interface. Single sign-on access grants regional and corporate management teams comprehensive visibility, including incident reports, analytics, operational data, and financial reporting. Role-based access controls ensure personnel have appropriate access levels, from portfolio overviews to task-specific views, optimizing information flow and decision-making. This enhances operational oversight, streamlines response procedures, and supports data-driven strategic management.
4. Enhanced Smart Zone Solutions: Designed to simplify common area oversight across properties, Smart Zones provide seamless control for both managed and remote properties without complex infrastructure. The latest release enhances incident management by using real-time data from various smart sensors (motion, door, gate, temperature, humidity, and flood) to deliver faster, more intelligent alerts directly to facility operations contacts.

With these powerful new features, StorageDefender offers the most complete and innovative self-storage smart technology facility management platform available. Self-storage operators gain an integrated solution that goes beyond basic unit control, delivering facility-wide smart technology and automation within a seamless, easy-to-use web interface.
