01 / Features

Everything an operator runs, in one open platform.

Storefront and checkout, a customer portal, backoffice facility management, in-house billing and collections, access orchestration, live analytics, native e-sign, and an open API — the full landscape, so you can judge parity-plus-differentiation at a glance.

02 / Sell

Turn browsers into move-ins.

Your storefront is the shop window. It shows what is actually free, takes the payment and gets the agreement signed — at 2am, without you.

Illustration: an operator's storefront mid-checkout, showing three unit sizes with book, reserve and quote actions, an order summary with the licence fee and protection waiver, and a progress rail through unit, details, signing and payment.

Illustrative example — sample sites and figures, not live data.
  • Composable storefront

    Build any page with a section-based composer — no developer required.

  • Three sales modes

    Book online, reserve, or capture a quote — matched to each unit type.

  • Mobile-first checkout

    Select unit, add-ons, protection, sign and pay in one flow customers finish.

  • Embeddable widgets

    Availability, booking and calculator widgets for operators who keep their own site.

How the storefront works

03 / Manage

Run every site from one place.

Every unit at every site on one screen, colour-coded by what it is doing right now — no spreadsheet, no driving over to check.

Illustration: the unit map for one site, showing two blocks of units colour-coded as occupied, available, reserved, in maintenance or overlocked, a switcher for the operator's five sites, and panels for this week's agreements and the sales pipeline.

Illustrative example — sample sites and figures, not live data.
  • Facility maps & units

    Visual, colour-by-status maps of every site — down to the individual unit.

  • Subscriptions

    A full register of every agreement, with transfer, move-out and waitlist flows.

  • CRM built in

    Contacts, deals pipeline and tasks — no separate CRM subscription needed.

04 / Get paid

Billing that doesn't drop the ball.

Invoices go out, Direct Debits get collected, and late payers get chased politely and persistently — on a schedule you set once.

  • Bacs Direct Debit default

    SCA-free, lower-cost recurring collection — honest about timing.

  • Automated collections

    Dunning ladders and late fees, wired to real payment events. Automated overlock is on our roadmap.

  • Accounting sync◐ Coming soon

    Two-way sync to Xero and QuickBooks — built and in final testing.

How billing and collections work

Illustration: a monthly licence-fee invoice showing the fee, protection waiver and VAT, stamped paid; the Bacs Direct Debit collection timeline from issue to collection; the reminder and late-fee ladder that runs if a payment fails; and accounting sync to Xero and QuickBooks marked as roadmap.

Illustrative example — sample figures, not live data.

05 / Secure

One access layer for every gate.

One console for every lock brand you run, so credentials follow the balance instead of a spreadsheet. The orchestration engine is built; the vendor connections are what comes next.

Illustration of planned functionality: five access-control partner adapters — Nokē, BearBox, PTI Cloud, OpenTech and Paxton via a site bridge — feeding into one normalised event timeline, and the planned sequence where an overdue payment triggers an overlock and payment received restores access.

Illustrative. The orchestration engine is built; the vendor connections are on our roadmap.
  • Multi-vendor access◐ Coming soon

    Nokē, BearBox, PTI Cloud, OpenTech and Paxton from one console.

  • Auto-overlock & restore◐ Coming soon

    Credentials will follow the balance — automatically, both ways.

  • One unified timeline◐ Coming soon

    Every gate event across every provider, normalised into one feed.

What access orchestration will do

06 / Understand

Live analytics, not overnight batches.

Occupancy, revenue and arrears across every site, updating as it happens. Nine reports are ready to run, and every one of them exports.

Illustration: the analytics hub, showing a portfolio rollup of sites, occupancy, monthly revenue and arrears, a catalogue of nine ready-made reports with access exceptions marked as roadmap, and export options for CSV and the public API.

Illustrative example — sample sites and figures, not live data.
  • Portfolio rollup

    Occupancy, revenue and collection rate across every site, updating live.

  • Governed report catalogue

    Nine ready-made reports covering occupancy, revenue, delinquency, tax/VAT and more.

  • Export anywhere

    Every report as CSV or over the public API — no lock-in, no waiting on us.

07 / Build & sign

An open API and native e-sign.

Your data and your integrations, on an API that comes with the plan rather than as an add-on — and signing that holds up afterwards.

  • Public REST API

    Included in every plan — no premium tier to unlock it.

  • Reliable webhooks

    Real-time updates sent to your other software the moment something changes — retried automatically, never silently dropped.

  • Native e-sign

    Legally-binding e-signatures that can't be altered after signing, with a complete tamper-proof history.

Read the API overview

Illustration: a webhook delivery log showing four successful deliveries, one failure and its automatic retry succeeding; and a signed agreement certificate showing who signed, when, the document hash, the previous event's hash, and the view, sign and seal events.

Illustrative example — sample figures, not live data.

08 / Trust

Dependable by design.

The boring guarantees underneath: where your data lives, what we never touch, and how you get it all back.

Illustration: card details passing from the customer's browser straight to Stripe or GoCardless, with StoreBay shown outside that path entirely; an append-only event log where each entry is linked to the previous one by a hash; and panels showing data hosted in London with a published sub-processor list, and full export available at any time.

Illustrative. Card details go straight to Stripe or GoCardless — never through StoreBay.
  • UK data residency

    Hosted in London, UK GDPR throughout.

  • No card data touches our systems

    Payments run through Stripe and GoCardless directly (PCI SAQ-A compliant) — we never see or store a full card number.

  • No lock-in

    Export everything, any time.
