Self-storage
Hundreds of identical units, each one actually checked.
A storage build is the same unit over and over, on a schedule that does not wait. RTI turns that repetition into an advantage: one checklist per unit type, one sticker per door, and a tag list that shows which units are approved and which are still open.
What gets in the way, and what RTI does about it
Today
Six hundred units means six hundred doors, and 'they all work' rests on a spot-check of the ones near the office.
With RTI
One checklist bound to every unit tag makes the door-operation photo mandatory on each unit, so the record covers unit C-148 and unit E-207 the same, not just the ones someone happened to walk.
Today
The schedule is unforgiving, so units get called done to keep pace and the misses surface after the certificate of occupancy.
With RTI
The photo gate keeps an incomplete unit off the approved lane. Fast still means finished, because a unit cannot be submitted with a mandatory item or photo missing.
Today
Access-control commissioning lives in a separate vendor report that nobody can line up against the units it protects.
With RTI
Keypads, gate operators and door alarms carry their own tags and land on the same review board as the units, so the security record and the build record are one export.

Questions self-storage ask
3 answers
- We have hundreds of near-identical units. Does RTI mean hundreds of separate setups?
- No. You build the unit checklist once and bind it to every unit tag. Unit C-148 and unit E-207 open the same list with the same photo requirement, and the tag list shows the whole building at a glance: which units are approved, which were sent back for a door, which are not inspected yet.
- Roll-up doors are the item that comes back to bite us. How does RTI handle those?
- The door operation photo is a required item, so a unit submission cannot close until the crew has shown the door running its full travel and the latch aligned. A door that binds gets caught on the checklist, not by the first customer who rents the unit.
- Security and access control tie the whole site together. Does that fit the same system?
- Yes. Keypads, gate operators and door-alarm contacts each get a tag and a checklist item with a photo, so the access-control commissioning is documented on the same board as the unit build-out instead of living in the low-voltage vendor's separate report.
