StorMan: "Please tell us a little about the unit mix at Storage King Tingalpa..."

Jason: "We have 24 different size units in our complex - from lockers to 9x3m. There are also a few outside spaces for boats and caravans as we are close to the bay. We are also very privileged to be installing the Cubix shelving in a few of our units which will be great for all archive storage, but also for some tradies who will be able to utilise the shelving as they are on castors and can me moved in and out of the unit for easy access.

All our 6x3 units and above have internal lighting, which is great for trying to find that one box in the furthest corner. All our doors are made in England and were shipped out here specifically for our store. The vinyl roller doors are unique and very light weight. The hinge doors have a unique lock system that is flush with the door."

StorMan: "Other than Self Storage, what other services do you provide?"

Jason: "While we specialise in self storage, but we also sell packaging for all house hold items. Even if you have a 50" plasma, we will be able to get the best box for you. With 9 different boxes available, I am sure we will find just the right one for anybody!"

StorMan: "Anything interesting about your area, or the building itself?"

Jason: "This storage facility is the largest and only one in this area. There is a huge demand for storage sheds close to the bay and our target market covers 120 square kilometres. We will also have more building work in our street (beginning in June) which will increase our exposure in the area."

StorMan: "Any funny or interesting stories to tell?"

Jason: "We have a mannequin (called 'Ken') who has given a couple of our patrons a scare as they drive by at night on the way home. He does change positions within the display units and outfits for various seasonal ideas. This month he is storing his surf board as he doesn’t need it during the winter. Next month I think he has decided to be a builder. Check out the photos to the right or on the StorMan website for a look at what he's doing this month!"

StorMan: "What do you like about StorMan?"

Jason: "As I am new to StorMan I am slowly getting used to all its great features. We have utilised its features to coincide with our graphics display and flashes when a unit is open, or the alarm is going off because the unit has not been disarmed by the client. We have had a couple teething problems with some of our other software, but StorMan seems to be the only one that hasn’t broken down! It's a very consistent program."

StorMan: "If there was one standout feature, what would you say it is?"

Jason: "The stand-out feature I think is that once you have used it a couple times, it becomes very user friendly and easy access to all client details in just a couple touches of the keyboard. I am also looking forward to the next version and extra features soon!"
