Alyta

Overview

Alyta is a self-storage management platform that brings online rentals and facility administration into a cloud-based dashboard. It covers bookings, payments, identity checks, customer access and reporting, with tools for spaces, customers, agreements, invoices, orders and tasks. Its stated audience ranges from new operators to nationwide franchises, with support for single- and multi-site facilities.

For customers, self-serve checkout can include selecting a unit, signing an electronic agreement and paying online, followed by receiving access details. Operators can manage the facility’s day-to-day work from the dashboard and use integrations for payments, access and security.

Key features

Space setup and operations

The drag-and-drop Space Builder supports custom space details and categories using more than 30 components. The operations dashboard handles spaces, customer records, agreements, invoices, orders and tasks. Alyta also lists multi-site management, making the platform relevant to operators overseeing more than one facility.

Online rentals and payments

Self-serve checkout lets renters choose a unit, complete an e-agreement, pay online and receive access details. Alyta connects to Stripe and Ezidebit, and supports card payments, direct bank transfers, cash recording and physical payment terminals. Automated billing and delinquency tools are listed among its capabilities.

Access and security integrations

Operators can manage access with PIN codes, digital keys, cards, FOBs or physical keys, and can remotely grant or disable access. Named access and security integrations include Inner Range Inception and Hikvision HIK-Connect. Optional apps include Twilio SMS notifications, Shufti Pro identity verification and Google Maps address verification.
