Tenant Inc. Expands to Australia and New Zealand, Announcing Kennards Self Storage as First International Customer

Tenant Inc. brings its cloud-based, all-in-one platform to Australia and New Zealand, unifying operations, marketing, and payments for modern storage operators.

The global movement to modernize self-storage technology took a major step forward today as Tenant Inc. announced its expansion into the Australia and New Zealand markets. Kennards Self Storage, the region's largest privately owned portfolio, will be the first in the region to adopt the all-in-one platform, with a planned deployment across its entire 100+ facility portfolio.

The expansion brings Tenant Inc.’s operator-first platform to a new global market, furthering the company’s core mission to empower independent operators by ending their reliance on legacy software and disconnected "patchwork" systems.

Kennards Self Storage, with over 100 facilities across Australia and New Zealand, is an industry leader known for operational excellence. The company's adoption of Tenant Inc.'s platform underscores the international storage market's shift toward modern, data-driven operations built on a unified platform.

Lance Watkins, CEO of Tenant Inc., elaborated on the personal and strategic importance of this new chapter:

“This expansion is personal for me. As an operator, I spent decades frustrated with legacy tech that just doesn't work. We're honored to bring our platform to Australia and New Zealand to finally give operators there the modern, all-in-one system they actually need to compete and build a more valuable business.”
