Who we are
SmartStop 3PM was formed through the partnership of Argus Professional Storage Management and SmartStop Self Storage — two organizations that spent decades building their respective strengths before joining forces.
Argus brought a leadership team with hands-on management experience, deep operational talent, and a reputation built on owner-first relationships. SmartStop brought enterprise technology and national scale.
Together, they created SmartStop 3PM, a third-party management platform that now oversees more than 460 properties across the U.S. and Canada, built specifically for self-storage entrepreneurs who are ready to grow.
Our mission is simple:
Empower independent storage owners with the systems, insights, and scale to succeed.
Our approach
SmartStop 3PM combines the entrepreneurial agility that defined Argus Professional Storage Management with the enterprise infrastructure of SmartStop Self Storage, all delivered through the dash.ai operating cloud.
That means independent owners get access to the same technology, talent, and systems that power one of North America’s largest storage operators, configured to fit their portfolio, their brand, and their goals.
The entrepreneurial agility of Argus Professional Storage Management — decades of owner-first operations.
The enterprise infrastructure of SmartStop Self Storage — technology, capital, and national scale.
The dash.ai operating cloud — uniting technology, people, and process in one seamless platform.
