The Client and their Business Requirements

The client is a leading and well-known self-storage unit provider in the United States. They are known to use some of the superior technologies to provide an exceptional self-storage experience to their clients. The client was looking for a reliable web application developer who could develop a PaaS-based web app to manage their padlock system and overlock a customer's unit.

Project Challenges

Owing to the complexities and the nature of the project, we had to face quite a few challenges while implementing the web app. Some of the challenges included:

The self-storage providers use a padlock system to overlock the units if the customer fails to pay the dues. It was important for our team to understand the concept and then develop the PaaS-based web application
The existing process of removing the locks was highly inefficient as it required the company's personnel to go to the storage unit and unlock the unit and the client was looking to develop an automated system
If the customer was locked out after business hours, then it would tend to difficult for the company to send in a personnel to unlock the storage unit

The O2I Solution

Keeping in mind the various requirements of the client, our expert team of web app developers devised the following solution:

Our team of highly experienced web app developers created a PaaS-based web application for self-storage operators to let the customers have the padlock combination and help them unlock the units independently
