All use cases

Self storage

Help customers wherever they are in your storage facility

Storage customers often need help when nobody is standing nearby.

A QR code at the gate, loading area, or facility entrance can open a private RoomLnk conversation immediately. No app download. No searching for a support number.

Help at the point of confusion

The question usually starts at the gate, not at the front desk

A customer standing at a gate that will not open, or looking for Unit B214, should not have to hunt through old emails for a phone number. The facility is large, and staff cannot be in every aisle.

RoomLnk puts a private support room on the gate, the lift, the loading bay, and the facility map. The customer joins in the browser and the team can see which location started the chat.

Facility support

Questions that happen on site

Answer gate, unit, and loading questions from the place the customer is already standing.

Gate access

“The gate isn't opening” can start from the code on the gate itself.

Finding a unit

Help someone reach Unit B214 without walking them through a phone menu.

After-hours access

Explain published access hours from a room the customer can open on site.

Where to unload

Direct parking and unloading from a code in the loading area.

Show the problem

A photo of the gate keypad or the unit door gives the team the location immediately.

Help in another language

Translate a facility question without asking the customer to install an app.

Location-specific entry

A code at the gate is already the context

Label the code for the place it serves: gate help, loading bay, or this building. The team does not have to ask “where are you?” before they can help.

Photos, voice messages, and translation stay in a private room. Access credentials, contracts, and payment still belong in the storage management system.

How it works

Scan where the problem is

01

Place the code

Add a RoomLnk code to the gate, reception, lift, map, or loading bay.

02

Customer scans

They open a private chat in the browser. No app and no support-number search.

03

Ask from that spot

The question arrives with the location you printed on the code.

04

The facility team replies

Reception or operations answers from the business workspace.

05

Add a photo or voice clip

Use a picture of the gate or a short voice message when that is faster.

06

Keep access rules elsewhere

Do not put gate codes, contracts, or payment in the chat as the system of record.

Facility boundaries

Help people on site without handing out access secrets

Publish who monitors gate and loading rooms, including after-hours coverage. A code that nobody watches is worse than a phone number.

Gate codes, contracts, billing, and identity checks stay in the storage platform. RoomLnk is for the conversation about getting help.

Questions and answers

Self storage support with RoomLnk

Can a customer get help at the gate without calling?

Yes. A QR code at the gate opens a private browser chat with the facility team. The customer does not need an app.

Can different areas have different codes?

Yes. Use separate rooms or clearly labelled codes for the gate, loading bay, lift, and facility map so the team knows the location.

Can the customer send a photo of the gate?

Yes. Photos and voice messages can travel in the same private room.

Should gate codes be sent in the chat?

No. Treat access credentials as operational secrets and keep them in the facility's approved access process.

Do customers need a RoomLnk account?

No. They scan the code and join in the browser with a display name.

Can the team share one facility inbox?

Business team access lets reception and operations answer the rooms you assign to them.
