StorageTreasures.com Integrates with U-Haul's WebSelfStorage Property Management Software

For Immediate Release

(July 29, 2025) – Phoenix, AZ. OpenTech Alliancethe PropTech leader in self storage, is proud to announce that StorageTreasures.com, the industry’s leading online storage auction platform, is now integrated with the WebSelfStorage Business Platform®U-Haul’s comprehensive property management software (PMS). This new integration offers self storage operators an efficient, automated solution to manage lien sales directly from within the software they use every day.

Benefits of the Online Storage Auction Integration
The integration reduces manual work and supports auction compliance by connecting critical auction workflows with real-time tenant data. Operators using WebSelfStorage can now initiate, manage, and monitor their auctions with significantly less effort – on the platform that delivers the best results in the industry.
