FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NEW SELF STORAGE FACILITY PURSUES LATEST TECHNOLOGY.
Broadmoor Storage Solutions is proud
to unveil The Insomniac, a unique self service rental center at its West Pasco location.
The first of its kind in
southeastern Washington, the Insomniac offers customers the ability to rent
a unit or make a payment. It also allows
them to update their account information, gives virtual tours, prints leases
and dispenses locks so that a customer can immediately move in without
waiting for the assistance of a manager.
The
Insomniac is a sexy indoor kiosk that is located in an enclosed vestibule,
similar to what banks have for their ATMs. It is
available from 6 a.m. until 11p.m. and allows customers to rent
outside of the regular store hours or when the manager is busy. “With our Insomniac, we hope to never have a
prospect walk out on us because they have to wait for the manager to finish
helping another customer, or they need to rent after hours,” says Kees Koster, president of Broadmoor Storage
Solutions.
Some of the
unique features that are part of Broadmoor Storage Solutions’ kiosk are:
Megan, Insomniac’s animated,
“anytime” manager that guides customers through the rental and payment
process;
A bright touch screen monitor
for easy reading and menu navigation;
A built-in digital video camera that takes tenant photos;
A fingerprint scanner to document new tenants and deter wrongdoers;
A digital signature pad for signing leases;
A driver license scanner to capture new tenant information;
A credit card reader;
A cash bill accepter to validate and record currency denominations up to $100;
A speaker phone with auto-dialer for after hours or offsite customer service;
A lock dispenser that provides a tamper resistant cylinder lock to tenants;
Broadmoor
Storage Solutions is a new self-storage facility specializing in premium
quality RV and boat storage, climate controlled business storage and personal
storage. The 70,000 sq. ft. facility,
located of I-182 and Broadmoor Blvd., provides a large array of storage
options with over 230 storage spaces available.
