Making Tech Work For You with James Hatfield & Michael Brevdeh

We sat down with James Hatfield from LiveSwitch and Michael Brevdeh from Cubby to unpack how self storage operators can make the most of their technology—whether you're working with what you already have or considering your next big upgrade.

We dive into:

• The essential tech tools every facility should have in place

• The most underutilized features operators overlook

• How tech can help you enhance marketing, convert leads, and optimize operations

• Tips to automate your workflow—and what tasks should not be automated

• Signs it’s time for a tech upgrade and how to prioritize improvements

• Red flags when evaluating new tech and vendors
