How to Use Storage AI Advisor

Get the most out of RevNav's AI Advisor — your portfolio intelligence assistant powered by real data.

What is Storage AI Advisor?

Storage AI Advisor is an interactive advisor that analyzes your actual portfolio data in real-time. It's not a generic chatbot — every response is computed from your PMS data, move-in/out trends, pricing analysis, and operational metrics.

Important: Storage AI Advisor is a tool, not an expert. Treat all outputs as analysis that supports your decision-making, not as automated commands. Domain expertise always overrides AI pattern-matching.

8 Topics You Can Explore

1. Pricing Strategy

Analyzes below-street gaps by unit type, identifies ECRI candidates, and surfaces pricing discipline issues.

2. Occupancy Trends

Breaks down occupancy distribution, identifies facilities in each category (Maximize, Push, Focus, Critical), and highlights the performing vs physical gap.

3. Marketing Ideas

Identifies unadvertised facilities, flags low-occupancy locations without Google Ads, and prioritizes marketing spend allocation.

4. Churn Analysis

Shows tenure distribution, early churn metrics (within 90 days), move-out reasons, and lost LTV from early exits.

5. Top Opportunities

Ranks the highest-impact actions by revenue potential — from vacancy cost recovery to pricing gap closure.

6. Revenue Forecast

Tracks 13-month move-in/out trends, identifies seasonal patterns, and highlights revenue displacement signals.

7. Vacancy Analysis

Ranks facilities by vacancy cost, identifies the most expensive empty units, and computes annual revenue loss.

8. Operations

Reviews delinquency aging, overlocked units, problem unit ratios, and collection rate metrics.

How to Get the Best Results

Start with Quick Actions — Click any of the 8 topic buttons for an instant analysis with real portfolio numbers.
Type specific questions — Ask about pricing, churn, occupancy, marketing, revenue, vacancy, or operations for targeted responses.
Use it before meetings — Pull up key portfolio stats and talking points before owner reviews or team meetings.
Cross-reference with dashboard — Storage AI Advisor complements (not replaces) the detailed pages — use both together.
Verify before acting — Every insight is based on real data, but always validate against your on-the-ground knowledge before making decisions.

Remember

AI is a tool, not an expert. Professional formatting does not mean professional content. Always ask: "What would an experienced operator say about this?" Domain expertise overrides AI pattern-matching. More signals lead to better decisions — and that's exactly what RevNav is built to provide.
