Needham, MA – December 8, 2025 – Ai Lean, the self-storage industry’s only end-to-end collections and delinquency automation solution, announced a new integration with Cubby, an all-in-one self-storage facility management platform.

This collaboration integrates Ai Lean’s automated delinquency and lien workflows directly with Cubby’s Facility Management Software (FMS), enabling self-storage operators to save time, stay compliant with lien laws, and reduce financial risks. The integration reflects both companies’ commitment to innovative solutions that simplify operations for facility operators and protect them from legal exposure in the lien-to-auction cycle.

By integrating Ai Lean’s technology, Cubby users can streamline their workflows, ensure legal compliance across all 50 states, and significantly improve recovery of outstanding debt.

Ai Lean’s platform has been shown to reduce outstanding debt by half and virtually eliminate accounts over 90 days past due within the first year of use, offering a powerful benefit to Cubby’s growing customer base.

What the Integration Offers

Seamless Workflow Integration: Ai Lean’s platform integrates directly with Cubby’s FMS, syncing lien and auction data in real time. This eliminates double data entry and ensures up-to-date, accurate information across both systems.
Automated Collections & Notices: The integration automates every stage of the delinquency process – from the first late notice through lien sale. Ai Lean’s system sends compliant communications (emails, texts, and required mailed notices) and advances delinquent accounts through customizable steps, saving managers hours of manual work each month.
Compliance Across All States: Self-storage lien laws vary by state, and mistakes can be costly. Ai Lean’s platform ensures every action (notifications, waiting periods, auctions) meets the legal requirements of the state the facility is in. This helps operators avoid costly errors.
Faster Debt Recovery: By engaging delinquent tenants earlier and more consistently, operators can resolve more overdue accounts before they reach auction. The result is fewer severely delinquent accounts and improved cash flow.
Operational Efficiency: Self-storage operators save time and resources by streamlining the delinquency process end-to-end. Staff can focus on serving customers and driving occupancy rather than managing paperwork.
Insurance & Risk Protection: Ai Lean is fully insured to protect our customers, with comprehensive coverage including liability, Errors & Omissions (E&O), wrongful auction and sale, and cybersecurity insurance. By partnering with Ai Lean, Cubby customers can significantly reduce their exposure to legal and financial risks throughout the lien and auction process.

“At Cubby, we’re committed to giving operators the tools they need to run their businesses. Partnering with Ai Lean allows our customers to automate one of the most time-consuming and legally complex aspects of their operations. This integration means operators can recover revenue faster while staying compliant. Our goal is to integrate with all of the tools that our customers use for their businesses. This is a step towards that goal.”

— Matt Engfer, co-founder and CEO of Cubby

Luke Shardlow, CEO of Ai Lean, noted the value this brings to self-storage operators:

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with Matt and the Cubby team on this integration. Cubby’s customers can now leverage Ai Lean’s fully automated collections and delinquency product. Together, we’re empowering operators to streamline their collections process, mitigate legal risks, and recover revenue faster – all in a seamless, user-friendly experience.”

— Luke Shardlow, CEO of Ai Lean

This integration is available to all Cubby customers starting immediately. By combining Cubby’s modern facility management capabilities with Ai Lean’s collections automation, the partnership underscores a growing trend in self-storage tech: open, collaborative solutions that drive efficiency and better outcomes for facility operators.
