Building a seamless, self-service boat & RV storage business
For Gulf Coast Boat & RV Storage, managing a large-scale storage facility without an on-site presence was a must. Operating on nearly five acres, they provide covered and open storage for boats, RVs, and heavy equipment—all without a physical office.
A fully digital approach meant they needed a powerful yet user-friendly system that could handle sign-ups, billing, and automation without manual oversight.
We don’t have an on-site presence at all. Everything is done remotely. Users either sign up themselves, or we enter them into the system directly. -- Gulf Coast Boat & RV Storage
