Pricing that moves with the market

Bring self-storage rates back in-house. A daily competitor scan sets the optimal price, and scheduled increases grow revenue without pushing tenants out

What we do

From a black-box operator to pricing you own

A chain of 70+ facilities had its pricing outsourced to an external operator. It was opaque, uncontrollable and impossible to test against. We brought it back in-house as one rate engine

How it works

Three engines, one rate

Scan the market, grow existing tenants on a schedule, and keep a human in the loop: each rate explainable and yours to override

Web Rate Engine

Scans nearby facilities every day and recommends a price per unit type, folding in occupancy, demand trend and tier logic.

ECRI Engine

Raises existing-tenant rates on a schedule: first near day 120, again after around 270 days on a multifactor score, then recurring. Lift without move-outs.

Manual override & dashboard

Every recommendation is explainable and overridable on one dashboard. Pricing stays in-house, where you can test hypotheses.

Guardrails & limits

Set rate floors, ceilings and max-step limits per unit type: the engine only ever recommends inside the bounds you control.

The challenge

Pricing you don't control

Outsourced operator

Pricing handed to an outside operator: opaque, out of your control.
You can't see how your rates sit against the street.
Raising rates on sitting tenants risks move-outs.
No way to test a pricing idea before committing.

With Zentavor

Web Rate Engine recommends every rate in-house, explainable and yours to override.
Daily scan of nearby facilities prices each unit type against the market.
ECRI lifts existing-tenant rates on a multifactor schedule tuned to tenure, without triggering move-outs.
Pricing back in-house: A/B and adjust, no vendor black box.
FAQ

Your frequently asked questions

Where does the competitor data come from?
A daily scan of nearby facilities' published rates, by unit type, within a radius you set, so each recommendation is priced against the live local market, not a guess.
Won't raising rates push tenants out?
The ECRI engine raises existing-tenant rates on a multifactor schedule tuned to tenure and demand, so increases land where churn risk is low. Every increase is explainable and overridable.
Is pricing fully automated?
No, every recommendation is explainable and you can override it. The point is to bring pricing in-house, not hand it to another black box.
Do the figures in the demo reflect a real client?
The console runs on a real map with illustrative rates. It's grounded in a production self-storage engine (Web Rate Engine + ECRI) across 70+ facilities, but the specific prices shown are examples, not a client's numbers.
How does this fit beyond self-storage?
It's a custom ML pricing build. The same approach (market-aware recommendations, scheduled increases, human-in-the-loop) applies to any business setting prices against competitors and tenure.
