Bromsgrove is now home to its very first fully automated self storage facility, marking a significant stride towards greater automation in our town. And, of course, it’s a Wigwam Self Storage facility pioneering this brand-new, unmanned self storage solution!

The concept of fully automated self storage may not be entirely new, but it gained traction during the pandemic as the demand for this creative solution surged. Self storage facilities across the globe began embracing the wonders of automation to stay open and meet the growing needs of their customers.

Wigwam has proudly taken the lead as the first self storage facility to bring automated convenience to Bromsgrove. Conveniently located on Aston Fields Industrial Estate, between Howdens and Tool Station on Sherwood Road, our facility brings a new era of self storage to your doorstep. In this blog, we’ll explore automated self storage and what it means for you and self storage in Bromsgrove.

What Is an Automated Self Storage Facility?

An automated self storage facility is a type of storage space where customers can access and manage their storage units electronically, without human assistance. This type of facility combines the convenience of modern technology with traditional storage solutions, offering hassle-free access to your unit via digital keypads, mobile apps, or online interfaces.

From business owners needing efficient inventory management to residents of Bromsgrove looking to declutter their living spaces, this new addition provides a more convenient storage experience for everyone. 

What Are the Benefits of Self Storage Automation?

Fully automated self storage facilities offer customers many benefits, including:

  • 24/7 accessibility 
  • Enhanced security through digital access controls and surveillance
  • Outstanding convenience with online reservations and payments 

What To Expect From Our Fully Automated Self Storage Facility in Bromsgrove

With our automated system, you’ll never have to worry about a lack of support ever again. Even though our facility is fully automatic, our friendly team remains readily available to assist you with any questions or concerns in real-time. You can count on them for assistance through the internal intercom system located throughout the facility. They can help with tasks like granting remote access to your unit if you’ve forgotten your PIN code, offer support for online bookings, assist with check-in services, and provide general customer support.

With over 200 modern units spanning two floors and our cutting-edge technology, we also offer a range of unique features that ensure a safe and secure environment for your stored belongings.

Smart Bluetooth Locking System

Our Smart Bluetooth Locking System is not only convenient but also super secure — it safeguards your belongings with advanced encryption and authentication. No more fumbling with traditional locks that might not be as reliable! Your smartphone becomes the key, and you’re less likely to find yourself locked out, trying to remember which elusive code you had set up for this situation.

App-Based Access Control 

Managing who has access to your storage unit has never been easier. With just a few taps on your phone, you can grant temporary access to friends, family, or anyone you trust and revoke it just as easily when you’re done.

Advanced Security Features 

At our state-of-the-art self storage facility in Bromsgrove, each unit comes equipped with individual alarms and motion-tracking sensors, so even the slightest movement won’t go unnoticed. The entire facility is under the watchful eye of our 24-hour CCTV surveillance system, ensuring every corner is well-monitored around the clock. And when it comes to locking up, our electronic locking system adds an extra layer of protection. 

More Convenience & Flexibility 

At Wigwam, we’re committed to providing a hassle-free storage experience that goes beyond just renting a space. We’re all about convenience, flexibility, and making your life simpler. That’s why we offer:

  • Flexible Rental Terms: We understand that your storage needs may change, so we offer a minimum rental period of just two weeks. No long-term commitments, no fuss — you have the flexibility to store your items for as long as you need.
  • An Easily-Accessible Location: Our facility is located near major motorways for easy access. With local shops, trade shops, and supermarkets nearby, you can quickly grab any supplies you need before or after your visit. 
  • Man and Van Recommendations: Moving your items to and from storage doesn’t have to be a hassle. We can recommend local man and van services to help transport your belongings with ease. 
  • Lift Access: No need to break a sweat (or your back) lugging heavy items up and down stairs. Our facility is equipped with lifts, so you can easily access units on different floors without the struggle.
  • On-site Trolleys: Loading and unloading is a breeze with our complimentary on-site trolleys. They’re at your disposal, making moving your items smoother and more efficient.

I have used the storage at Cheltenham for nearly two years now and have always been glad I made the change from a large facility in Kingsditch. I recall leaving a glowing review of Casey and his team when I first took on the unit. Just yesterday I left a less than complimentary review but have discovered my frustration at the time was due to misleading info I obtained over the Internet and nothing to do with Wigwam. So that review is withdrawn and I continue to recommend Wigwam as a convenient town centre facility, well run and utilising a high tech, easy to use entry system.
