Ai Lean Partners with White Label Storage to Transform Lien Management for Self-Storage Operators
Needham, MA April 25, 2025
Ai Lean, the industry's leading end-to-end lien compliance automation platform, has announced a strategic partnership with White Label Storage to revolutionize how self-storage operators manage delinquencies and navigate the lien process.
This collaboration comes at a critical time, as industry data shows rising delinquency rates forcing more operators to handle complex lien proceedings. Traditional manual approaches to managing these processes result in revenue losses, heightened legal vulnerabilities, and valuable resources being diverted away from growth initiatives.
"The partnership with White Label Storage represents an exciting opportunity to deliver our automation technology to more operators who need it," said Luke Shardlow, CEO of Ai Lean. "Together, we're providing a solution that not only increases operational efficiency and ensures legal compliance but also directly impacts the bottom line through reduced costs and recovered revenue—particularly crucial in today's challenging market conditions."
Revolutionizing Lien Management Through Technology
The self-storage lien process has historically been challenging due to varying state regulations, creating potential legal complications for operators. Missing deadlines or improperly handling notice requirements can expose operators to significant liability.
Ai Lean's platform addresses these challenges by automating the entire process from start to finish, including:
Proactive delinquency detection and tenant communication
Compliant lien notification across all 50 states
Comprehensive auction planning and coordination
Thorough audit processes to prevent errors
Strategic ad placement to maximize auction visibility
Complete auction execution and documentation
"Integrating Ai Lean's platform across our managed properties allows us to offer our clients a significant advantage when handling the historically challenging lien compliance process," said Jen Barroqueiro, VP of Operations at White Label Storage. "This technology enhances our ability to deliver exceptional value while protecting our clients from potential legal pitfalls."
Delivering Measurable Business Benefits
This partnership brings tangible benefits to White Label's clients through two key advantages:
Enhanced Operational Efficiency: The lien process typically involves numerous manual tasks prone to human error. Ai Lean's automation eliminates these pain points while guaranteeing compliance with state-specific regulations. Operators can redirect staff time from paperwork to more valuable activities that drive growth.
Stronger Financial Performance: Manual lien management consumes resources that impact revenue. By automating these processes, operators can more effectively recover delinquent payments, minimize the need for auctions, and improve overall NOI. White Label clients can now access this technology as part of their management services.
