Reading Time: 2 minutes Market Apartments Launches Native Integration With Cubby

Market Apartments today announced a native integration with Cubby, the AI-native self-storage management software trusted by more than 400 operators. The integration connects the system that runs a storage facility to the website where renters make their decision, so available units, pricing, and availability stay in sync in real time.

For operators, that means no more outdated unit pages, no more “call for availability,” and no more double entry. Renters can see what’s open, reserve or rent directly on the facility’s website, and every rental flows back into Cubby automatically.

At a glance
  • What: A native integration between Cubby’s facility management platform and Market Apts websites and local marketing.
  • Who it’s for: Self-storage owners and operators using Cubby, from single facilities to growing portfolios.
  • What changes: Live inventory on your website, online rentals that sync back to Cubby, and managed visibility across Google, Bing, Yelp, and Apple Maps.
  • Availability: Available now. Schedule a call to get started.

Your Operations Have Evolved. Your Website Should Too.

Over the last few years, storage operators have upgraded their software. Pricing is smarter, calls are answered by AI, and operations run from a single dashboard. But most facility websites haven’t kept up. Many still show outdated units, stale rates, or no live availability at all.

That matters more than ever, because renters are searching more and comparing harder.

When pricing is the deciding factor and searches are rising, a website that can’t show current rates and open units is a real liability. Renters don’t call to ask. They book with the competitor whose availability is live.

The real cost

Most storage operators have invested in modern management software, but their websites still show outdated units and pricing. Every mismatch means an empty unit, a lost move-in, and monthly revenue that goes to a competitor. And because storage is a recurring rental, one lost renter can mean months of lost revenue, not just one sale.

How the Integration Works

Cubby runs your facility, pricing, and calls from a single platform. With the integration, that data flows straight to the site where renters decide, and rentals flow right back.
