Revolutionizing self-storage with smart, fully automated operations
STORE ROOM GmbH is a modern self-storage provider looking to digitize and fully automate their operations to provide a seamless experience for their customers. easy.bi partnered with STORE ROOM GmbH to develop a comprehensive maintenance management app that automates the entire inventory management process and enables smart self-storage capabilities. Our solution integrates ERP systems, allowing for online rental and management, delivering a seamless digital experience for both customers and operators.

Our contribution
easy.bi collaborated closely with STORE ROOM GmbH to create an advanced maintenance management application for their self-storage operations. The application handles the complete organization of inventory management, automating processes such as storage access, maintenance, and customer interactions. The eCommerce solution integrates with ERP systems, enabling customers to rent storage units online and manage their rentals digitally.
To connect Android and iOS mobile applications with the web application management system, we developed a full-featured API as the platform's backbone. This API integration ensures smooth communication between the mobile apps and the web platform, enhancing the user experience and enabling fully automated processes.
Our solution used PHP and Symfony for the back-end, OroCommerce for the eCommerce functionality, Sensorberg Cloud for managing IoT devices, Kubernetes for container orchestration, and Angular with Ionic for the front-end. MySQL was used for data storage, while agile development was facilitated using Jira and Confluence. BitBucket and later GitLab CI/CD pipelines were used to streamline version control and deployment.
The journey to success
The success of the STORE ROOM GmbH project was built on a foundation of innovation, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the client’s business needs. From the beginning, we worked closely with STORE ROOM's stakeholders, including operations teams and IT leads, to understand their challenges and requirements. Our goal was to build a solution that would not only modernize their inventory management but also provide a fully automated, smart self-storage experience.
We conducted workshops and sessions to identify pain points in their current manual processes and designed an application that addressed these challenges. By leveraging modern technologies, we were able to automate complex tasks, streamline workflows, and provide a seamless interface for both customers and operators.
Through continuous collaboration and feedback from the STORE ROOM team, we refined the application to meet their expectations, ensuring it was intuitive, efficient, and scalable. Our focus on delivering a fully automated solution resulted in a platform that enhances customer satisfaction while reducing operational costs.
The impact
The implementation of the smart self-storage software has had a significant impact on STORE ROOM GmbH's operations. The automation of inventory management and storage access has reduced manual intervention, increased efficiency, and improved the overall customer experience. The integration of ERP systems with the eCommerce platform has enabled seamless online rental, allowing customers to easily book and manage their storage units.
The new system has provided STORE ROOM with greater visibility into their inventory, streamlined maintenance processes, and reduced operational bottlenecks. By leveraging Kubernetes for scalability and Sensorberg Cloud for IoT integration, the solution is future-proofed to accommodate growing demand and evolving customer needs.
Overall, the smart self-storage solution developed by easy.bi has empowered STORE ROOM GmbH to offer a fully digital, automated service, positioning them as a leader in the modern self-storage industry. This project highlights the transformative power of innovative software solutions in optimizing operations and delivering exceptional customer experiences.
