EverSmart for self-storage & vacant properties

Microshare’s EverSmart Alert smart risk monitoring for self-storage, warehouses and vacant real estate

Maintaining self-storage, warehousing and vacant properties can be fraught with risk and unnecessary expense due to damage caused by nature, neglect or bad actors.
Microshare’s Alert Engine creates simple data feeds that warn of unseen problems, including leaks, smoke, temperature changes, unexplained human activity or pest infestation.

Prevent unexpected damage and claims

“Self-storage can be exposed to many types of property-damage, but you can limit your risk by staying on top of preventive maintenance, security measures and legal concerns with smart technology.”

World Insurance Group, 2023

The challenge

Self-storage properties are highly susceptible to unexpected damage, with some cost owners over $2 trillion annually insurance claims filed in the EU and North America. Guards and other contractors can help, but reliance on people is expensive and often fails to prevent leaks, break-ins and infestations.

The solution

EverSmart Alert deploys a sensor network providing 24/7 monitoring of out-of-pattern events including:

Rodent or pest activity
Leak and smoke detection
Temperature & humidity
Unexpected human activity
Open windows or doors

The outcome

Alerts directed to key personnel 24/7 enable timely responses. Issues are identified before they become major problems or lead to costly legal action. The response times of staff and contractors are logged and auditable to provide accountability.

Meeting new expectations

EverSmart Leak

Non-weather-related water damage is the costliest damage that Commercial Real Estate owners will typically face in the lifetime of an asset.

Floods anger tenants, push up premiums, spark lawsuits and disrupt the operations of your commercial real estate assets. Our Leak Detection alerts can help avoid worst case outcomes.

EverSmart Rodent

Our retrofit approach turns existing traps into Smart Rodent Control systems complete with a proven algorithm to save time and money. Smart Rodent Control also provides the Pest Control industry with a new capability to diagnose and predict outbreaks before they become major problems. And not having to check traps on a schedule saves money, reducing your fleet’s time on the road and the resulting Scope 3 carbon emissions.

Temp & Humidity Alert

Get an alert when your comfort levels get out of the norm before tenants and employees start to feel it. Studies show productivity lags as soon as building temperatures become too warm or too cold. What’s more, getting humidity levels wrong can help spread viral infection and encourage the growth of mold.

The five leading causes of self-storage damage

PESTS: Rodents and insects do permanent damage to property and reputations
WATER LEAKS: An undiscovered leak in a sink or pipe can cost more than the value of the property in some cases
FIRE: Smoke detectors that are not wired for alerts can go unheard, leading to a total loss or even fatalities
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE: Mold and condensation from poorly calibrated temperature and humidity
SQUATTERS AND BREAK-INS: Squatters’ rights make it difficult to evict in some jurisdictions, while theft and vandalism can lead to lawsuits and loss of tenants.
