Smartbox automates self storage management in Poland

Smartbox is a Polish application designed to automate the entire self storage rental process, reducing the need for on-site staff or manual administrative intervention. The system allows customers to view a 1:1 scale map of a facility, select available units, sign digital contracts, and complete payments via methods such as BLIK, card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

Upon successful payment, the application integrates with gate automation and electronic locks, allowing the user to open entrance gates and individual unit doors directly via their smartphone. This eliminates the need for physical keys or remote controls.

For operators, the platform manages real-time availability, automated invoicing through the National e-Invoice System (KSeF), and payment reminders via email or SMS. Developed in 2021 for a facility in Ostrów Wielkopolski, the system reportedly manages over 70 locations and 5,000 units across Poland as of September 2026.
