Nokē and ARIA partner

Janus International Group has announced a new premium partnership between its technology division, Nokē Smart Entry, and the UK-based ARIA Self-Storage Hub, aimed at transforming how UK self-storage operators run their businesses.

Unveiled at the 2026 SSA UK Trade Show, the collaboration brings together smart access control with a management platform designed to automate, optimise and centralise operations — without requiring operators to replace their existing management software.

ARIA acts as an intelligent layer over current property management, payment and access control systems. By integrating data and workflows across platforms, it aims to streamline day-to-day tasks, improve reporting, and deliver a smoother customer experience. The solution is tailored for UK operators, whether running a single site or multiple locations, and is positioned to support scalable growth through better operational efficiency and actionable insights.

Craig Conway, Group Managing Director of Janus International Europe Ltd, said the pairing of Nokē Smart Entry with ARIA’s platform creates a “powerful alliance” that can genuinely improve self-storage operations across the UK.

Katie Vost, Founder of ARIA, described the partnership as a “bold step forward”, enabling operators to run more efficiently, expand more seamlessly, and enhance the experience for both staff and customers.
