The MakeSpace Self-Storage System Eliminates the Need to Visit Units

— November 4, 2014 — Business
This self-storage system is taking the concept of the rentable locker or storage unit into the digital space. MakeSpace is a cloud-based system that eliminates the need to visit a physical storage facility.

Through MakeSpace, users can order boxes and schedule pick-ups. You are even able to specify the delivery of a particular item. Based out of NYC, the nation-wide digitized self-storage system also offers a storage solution to people across America. The boxes are transported to the NYC metro area MakeSpace facility. The company creates a photo catalog of every box (an optional feature) so you have access to all your belongings online. You can also pick out what you need this way.

Depending on where you live, the transit times will vary, as will the picture-uploading time. You can track all of this, however, using your account.
