QuikStor announces a seamless integration with OpenTech Alliance that connects QuikStor Management Software (QMS) with OpenTech’s CIA Access Control and INSOMNIAC SmartLock systems. The integration enables real-time synchronization between tenant account status and facility access, allowing self-storage operators to automate gate and unit access enforcement while reducing manual operational work. With QuikStor serving as the system of record for tenant accounts, access permissions are updated instantly based on tenant activity such as delinquency or payment. This automation strengthens site security, reduces operational risk, and eliminates the need for manual access updates. The integration supports key workflows including automatic gate lockouts, immediate access reinstatement upon payment, and tighter coordination between access control and facility management systems, reinforcing QuikStor’s commitment to open APIs, interoperability, and scalable automation for modern self-storage operations.
QuikStor, a leading provider of facility management for the self-storage industry, is proud to announce a new seamless integration with OpenTech Alliance’s CIA Access Control solution. The integration enables real-time synchronization between tenant account status and property access, allowing storage operators to automate gate access enforcement, strengthen site security, and reduce manual operational work.
With this integration, QuikStor serves as the system of record for tenant accounts while OpenTech’s CIA Access Control and INSOMNIAC SmartLock® systems execute access permissions automatically. Tenant status updates in QuikStor are reflected instantly at the gate and throughout the facility, ensuring access rules are enforced accurately and consistently without manual intervention.
“For many self-storage operators, access control is one of the most operationally sensitive parts of the business,” said Andre Hadzi-Pavlovic, Chief Innovation Officer at QuikStor. “By integrating directly with OpenTech’s CIA Access Control, we eliminate the need for manual updates and double-checking permissions. Operators can trust that tenant access is always accurate, up to date, and enforced automatically.”

The integration supports a wide range of operational use cases, including automatic gate lockouts for delinquent accounts, real-time access reinstatement upon payment, and tighter coordination between access control, electronic unit locks, and facility management workflows. This connected approach helps operators reduce risk, improve efficiency, and scale their operations without adding complexity.
“The most impactful integrations are the ones that disappear into the operator’s workflow,” said Jon Loftin, Chief Product Officer at OpenTech Alliance. “By connecting our CIA access control platform and INSOMNIAC SmartLocks® directly with a facility management system operators already rely on, we’re removing manual steps and reducing operational friction. This kind of open, API-driven collaboration is what allows the industry to innovate faster and gives operators confidence that their technology stack will scale with them.” By partnering with OpenTech Alliance, QuikStor continues to expand its open integration ecosystem, giving operators the flexibility to connect best-in-class technology solutions while maintaining a single source of truth for tenant and facility data.
“Modern storage operations depend on automation and interoperability,” added Hadzi-Pavlovic. “This integration reflects QuikStor’s commitment to open APIs and connected technology that helps operators work smarter and more efficiently”
The QuikStor integration with OpenTech’s CIA Access Control and INSOMNIAC SmartLocks is available now for operators using QMS.
