Built by operators

We’re not a tech company that discovered storage. We’re storage operators who built our own access control.

Access control touches everything — tenant experience, staff time, uptime, operating cost. Yet most facilities still run on systems that are expensive, fragile, and more complicated than the job requires. We know, because we ran on them for years. Proactive Storage is what we built to replace them: access control designed for how facilities actually operate, so the friction, cost, and headaches stop reaching you.

Simple cloud management.

Manage access, monitor activity, and open or close gates from anywhere, on any device. No on-site hub. No IT degree.

Common-sense hardware.

Modular, ethernet-powered keypads that install fast and that anyone, including your on-site manager, can swap in minutes — no specialized technician required.

Smart, reliable, lower cost.

Proactive monitoring gets ahead of issues, and a low monthly fee keeps total cost well below legacy systems — year after year.

Real-time control

See everything. Control anything. From anywhere.

Your system should reflect what’s true right now — not what was true 15 minutes ago. Grant, revoke, and adjust access in real time. Watch activity as it happens. Open or close gates remotely. No on-site servers to maintain.

Proactive monitoring

We tell you something’s wrong before your tenants do.

The moment a device goes offline, you know — by phone and email — so most issues are resolved remotely, before a tenant ever notices. Secure, server-side validation means no sensitive data ever sits on the keypad.

Text-to-open

Tenants get themselves in.

With text-to-open, tenants enter with a quick text or QR scan — phone and account status validated automatically, no code to fumble and no call to your manager. It’s the smooth, self-serve experience tenants expect, and it comes standard in the Complete plan.

Access control that finally keeps up.

We started with access. We’re building intelligence.

Reliable access control was step one. Now meet SAM — Proactive’s intelligent agent that fields tenant requests across text, chat, and voice, validates access, and escalates only the exceptions. SAM is in testing across our own facilities right now, the same way every Proactive capability earns its place before it reaches you.

Access control made modern.

A free 15-minute demo is the fastest way to see how Proactive fits your facility. No pressure — just a clear walkthrough.
