Publicly Listed REIT Continues to Leverage SSM Cloud to Scale Operations Across U.S. and Canada
Self Storage Manager, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise property management software for the self-storage industry, is pleased to announce the continued expansion of its partnership with SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (NYSE: SMA). Following its successful public offering in April 2025, SmartStop now operates and manages more than 220 self-storage facilities across North America — all powered by the SSM Cloud platform.
SmartStop completed its company-wide rollout of SSM Cloud in late 2022 and has continued to scale its use of the system as it has grown its property count following its public offering. The platform plays a central role in supporting SmartStop’s mission to provide a seamless customer experience, efficient operations, and real-time insights across its growing portfolio.
“Technology has always been at the heart of SmartStop’s operating strategy,” said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and CEO of SmartStop. “As a publicly traded company, the need for a scalable, reliable, and secure platform is more important than ever. SSM has proven to be that partner — supporting our continued growth while aligning with our strategic goals and integrations across the tech stack.”
SmartStop leverages the full capabilities of the SSM Cloud platform, including real-time data visibility, centralized operations, custom integrations, and advanced reporting through industry-standard reporting platforms. The partnership has allowed SmartStop to scale without compromise, providing consistency and control across both owned and managed assets.
“We are honored to play a role in SmartStop’s journey — from rollout to ringing the bell on Wall Street,” said Kat Shenoy, Chairman and CEO of Self Storage Manager, Inc. “Their continued trust in the SSM platform is a testament to our ability to serve the evolving needs of sophisticated, multi-national operators. We’re proud to be part of their growth story.”
