6Storage Continues to Invest in Innovation, Partnerships, and the Future of Self-Storage Operations

Published

on

Company expands its partner ecosystem and product roadmap to support a more connected, flexible platform for self-storage operators.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 6Storage Software Solutions, a self-storage management software platform built by operators for operators, today announced significant growth across its partner ecosystem. It reaffirmed its long-term vision for delivering a more connected, flexible, and innovative platform for self-storage operators.

Since its inception, 6Storage has focused on helping self-storage operators simplify operations, improve tenant experiences, and grow their businesses through technology developed by active self-storage operators who continue to own and manage facilities today. The company is strengthening that commitment through a growing marketplace of partners, strategic integrations, and a product roadmap designed to support the evolving needs of modern storage operators.

“Our goal is simple: give operators the technology they actually need to run successful facilities without paying for functionality they don’t use,” said Michelle Otto, CEO of 6Storage. “We’re building a stronger ecosystem around operators by bringing together best-in-class technology partners, expanding integration options, and investing in a roadmap focused on meaningful innovation that helps facilities become more efficient, more connected, and more profitable.”

Building a Stronger Ecosystem for Operators

The self-storage industry continues to evolve, and operators need technology that can adapt alongside their businesses. To meet those demands, 6Storage continues to invest in partnerships and integrations that simplify daily operations while providing greater flexibility and choice.

From access control and payment processing to accounting, marketing, auctions, tenant protection, and facility operations, the 6Storage marketplace is designed to help operators connect the technologies they rely on most. Rather than forcing operators into a one-size-fits-all solution, 6Storage provides the flexibility to build a technology stack that supports their unique business needs.

This growing ecosystem reflects a simple belief: operators should have access to the tools, services, and innovations that help them compete effectively without being forced to purchase expensive functionality they may never use.

Purpose-Built for Operators

At 6Storage, innovation is not about adding features simply to increase complexity. It is about helping operators run better businesses.

Too often, self-storage operators find themselves paying for software features that add cost but provide limited day-to-day value. 6Storage takes a different approach by focusing on the tools, integrations, automation, and operational efficiencies that directly impact occupancy, customer experience, revenue, and business growth.

“We aren’t just building software for operators; we’ve been operators since 2007,” Otto said. “We continue to own and manage self-storage facilities alongside our customers, which means we’re solving many of the same challenges they face every day. We’re not building software based on assumptions; we’re building solutions based on real operational experience.”

Every investment 6Storage makes in its platform, partner ecosystem, and product roadmap is guided by a straightforward question:

Does this help operators run their facilities more effectively?

If the answer is no, it doesn’t belong.

“The self-storage industry doesn’t need more complexity,” Otto continued. “It needs practical solutions that help operators save time, improve customer experience, increase revenue, and control costs. We believe operators shouldn’t have to choose between affordability and innovation. Our responsibility is to deliver meaningful value and give operators access to the tools they truly need to succeed.”

A Clear Vision for the Future

6Storage continues to invest in automation, artificial intelligence, advanced reporting, mobile capabilities, enhanced security, tenant communication tools, accounting integrations, marketing intelligence, and operational efficiencies that help operators save time and grow their businesses.

“What we’re building at 6Storage is much bigger than software,” Otto said. “We’re creating an ecosystem that gives self-storage operators access to the partners, technologies, and innovations they need to compete in a rapidly evolving industry. Our roadmap is intentionally focused on delivering meaningful value, helping operators run more efficient facilities, reduce unnecessary costs, and invest in the tools that truly make a difference.”

Built for Independent Operators, Serving a Global Market

As our partner ecosystem continues to grow, our focus remains unchanged: helping small and medium-sized self-storage operators thrive. The 6Storage marketplace is designed to provide independent operators with the flexibility, innovation, and integration options they need to compete effectively in an increasingly sophisticated industry.

By bringing together best-in-class partners across access control, payments, marketing, accounting, auctions, tenant protection, and facility operations, 6Storage is helping level the playing field for operators of all sizes. While we proudly serve operators around the world, our mission remains rooted in empowering independent owners with enterprise-level capabilities without enterprise-level complexity.

Built and guided by active self-storage operators, 6Storage brings proven U.S. self-storage expertise, operational best practices, and practical technology solutions to customers across multiple countries and continents. Because the company continues to operate facilities today, product decisions are shaped by real-world operational needs rather than theoretical feature development.

New website helps parents get kids active and reduce their screen time

Published

By

CALGARY, AB, Sept. 21, 2026 /CNW/ — Active for Life today launched ItsChildsPlay.ca, a free website that shows parents how to get their kids moving and off their screens.

The World Health Organization identifies physical activity as essential to health and well-being from the earliest years. Science finds that play builds executive function, social skills like negotiation and cooperation, motor development, and the ability to regulate stress and anxiety. Yet most Canadian children and youth fall well short:

80% do not get the recommended two hours of daily active play.63% do not get the recommended 60 minutes of daily physical activity.

Parents know these facts, but many remain uncertain about how to get their children moving, especially so when overwhelmed with the struggle to limit their children’s screen time.

ItsChildsPlay.ca provides practical solutions that show parents how easy it is to engage in fun activities with their children at home without costly equipment, struggle or stress.

ItsChildsPlay.ca was created by Active for Life, a web-based initiative that helps educators and parents build active play into children’s lives. The site is being promoted with a series of radio ads across Canada, with help from the Pro Bono Group.

Quotes

“For fifteen years, parents have been telling the Active for Life team that getting children to engage in active play is hard. We understand the challenge,” said Richard Monette, who leads Active for Life. “This is why we built ItsChildsPlay.ca: a resource for parents that’s easy to use, takes minutes a day and is good for their child’s body and mind.”

Beyond the L2 Max Dual Motor, the campaign also highlights the DT2 Pro and Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor, offering additional options for riders looking for different levels of performance and versatility. For outdoor enthusiasts requiring greater range and performance, the DT2 Pro off-road e-scooter stands out with a 71-mile range, 2,912W of peak power, and a top speed of 40 mph. Building on the L2 Max Dual Motor’s practical feature set, the DT2 Pro upgrades the braking system to hydraulic disc brakes with E-ABS for stronger stopping power and better control.

The Gosoul 2 Pro Dual Motor e-scooter provides an affordable entry into high-performance dual-motor riding, making it an ideal choice for riders new to this level of performance. With 2,800W of peak output, a top speed of up to 36 mph, and the ability to handle inclines of up to 33%, it is a capable electric scooter for short trips, tackling hilly routes and varied terrain during fall outings. The 56-mile range supports short-distance round trips, and its foldable design allows it to be combined with public transportation for greater travel flexibility.
