The company fosters long-term partnerships with owners, team members, and investors, and is recognized as a trusted resource for self storage professionals looking to scale efficiently and profitably in a competitive market.
The Challenge
As experienced self-storage advisors, Kathryn and Amy knew the underwriting process was overdue for an upgrade. Traditional methods using spreadsheets and pen-and-paper tools created significant bottlenecks, especially when:
- Data had to be manually entered from offering memorandums
- Each bank had unique data requirements
- Delivering valuations for 30+ properties per week became unmanageable

The Solution
After testing other platforms like Argus and Rockport VAL, Omni chose Cactus for its speed, AI capabilities, and collaborative product feedback loop. "The Cactus team actually listens to us," said Amy. "Every time we had feedback, it was either already in beta or actively being improved. "Their favorite features:
- AI Document Reader: Upload OMs, spreadsheets, or PDFs—Cactus reads and pre-fills everything.
- Investment Criteria Checks: Input target IRRs and cash-on-cash returns—Cactus instantly confirms alignment.
- Operational Planning: Year-by-year expense planning that meets lender expectations.

Impact
Kathryn went from working 12-hour days on valuations to just 7 hours per week, including client meetings. Amy emphasized how even junior clients can now underwrite deals thanks to Cactus’ intuitive interface.
