SAFEhugg today announced a strategic partnership with the Self-Storage
Owners' Association (SBOA), bringing its integrated health, mental wellness, and real-time
safety platform to self-storage operators nationwide.
Through this partnership, SBOA members will gain access to SAFEhugg’s all-in-one mobile app— combining telehealth services and real-time safety tools designed specifically for real-world facility operations. The collaboration equips owners, managers, and on-site teams with immediate access to medical care, virtual counseling, and emergency response tools — all from a single, easy-to-use app available on the App Store.
Self-storage operators face unique challenges. Often working independently across multiple properties, managers and staff must respond quickly to medical issues, on-site incidents, and security concerns. SAFEhugg addresses these realities by delivering Total Health and Safety—Hugging You at Every Level.
The SAFEhugg platform includes:
TELEHEALTH
Virtual medical and mental wellness support available 24/7.
Virtual Doctor
Virtual Counseling
Prescriptions
SAFEhugg Telehealth provides immediate access to care without insurance requirements, long waits, or administrative barriers — helping operators support employee well-being while minimizing downtime.
SAFE 360
Real-time safety tools built to respond instantly and keep the right people connected when it matters most.
Real-Time Alerts
GPS Sharing
Set Geofence Boundaries
SAFE 360 enables staff to notify trusted contacts in emergencies, share live locations, and establish geofence boundaries that trigger alerts when safety zones are entered or exited — ideal for multi-location operations and remote property oversight.
“Self-storage operators wear many hats, often managing facilities independently or with lean teams,” said Christina Powell of SAFEhugg. “Our partnership with SBOA allows us to provide smarter, more accessible health and safety solutions that support operators, employees, and tenants alike.”
“This partnership with SBOA helps us put meaningful health and safety tools directly into the hands of the people who run self-storage every day,” added Harry [Last Name], [Title] of SAFEhugg. “When telehealth, mental wellness, and real-time safety come together, we move beyond protection to truly caring for people.”
Together, SAFEhugg and SBOA are raising the standard for safety across the self-storage industry — empowering operators to lead with confidence while creating healthier, safer environments for their teams and customers.
