Managing the commercial real estate lifecycle from end to end is all about connection and continuity. That means making sure every part of the CRE journey connects through a single platform. With CommercialCafe and Yardi Elevate added to the Yardi Voyager accounting foundation, teams can move faster, data flows cleaner and tenants feel taken care of through on-demand services and enhanced communication. During the YASC Commercial Spotlight, these innovations took center stage, and below we explore five solutions that complete the entire commercial real estate journey.
1. CommercialCafe Marketing: from listing to lead
The CRE lifecycle begins with marketing. CommercialCafe Marketing lets you manage listings and syndicate them through the Yardi Listing Network. (This network generates over 2 million monthly visits and 350,000 leads annually). These leads can be routed straight into Yardi Deal Manager. No re-keying required. You can be up and running quickly using Yardi’s support for content transfer, and your listings automatically update and unpublish based on real-time availability from Voyager. Your team can also use commercial property management software to generate marketing brochures, emails and branded templates that reflect current property data.

2. Deal Manager: from offer to signature
Deal Manager is where momentum builds. Through intuitive automation, sophisticated metrics and reliable connectivity, the solution speeds your leasing process through intuitive workflows, live portfolio visibility and embedded deal economics comparisons. As you shape offers, you instantly see net effective rent, IRR, GAAP rent and other key indicators in context, side by side with your budgets or past leases. Approval flows and legal document generation are built in, letting you push deals to signature and sync them immediately to Voyager. The system also supports mobile deal entry and management, so your brokers and leasing teams are never disconnected.

3. CommercialCafe Tenant Portal: from comms to self service
Once a prospect becomes a tenant, the CommercialCafe Tenant Portal offers a native mobile app and web interface for self-service tasks. Tenants can pay rent, set up autopay, view ledger details, submit and track maintenance requests and more. Tenants can also upload supporting documents. These include proof of maintenance or insurance for triple-net spaces, and those uploads sync back into Voyager for accurate compliance tracking. The tenant portal also supports publishing announcements and communication via email or SMS to keep tenants informed.

4. Yardi Facility Manager: from requests to closed work orders
On the back end, Facility Manager helps teams stay ahead of maintenance issues. The equipment dashboard highlights overdue items, warranty status and trend analysis. Inspections can be scheduled to occur regularly. SLA tracking ensures accountability. When a technician records labor and parts, those charges post directly to tenant ledgers. This closes the loop, so accounting and operations automatically reconcile.

5. Yardi Construction Manager & Yardi Forecast Manager: from plans to milestones
Construction Manager and Forecast Manager, both part of the Elevate Suite, address all aspects of capital management. Construction Manager handles capital plans, RFPs, change orders and vendor workflows. Forecast Manager dynamically pulls your spend into your budget models. Push deals from Deal Manager into budgets with one click rather than manual export. New controls include pausing leases during review, copying loan packages for scenario modeling and custom approval workflows to reduce friction and meet your exact business needs.

Commercial property management software for a better customer journey
Automating and streamlining the entire CRE lifecycle enables a connected and satisfying customer journey. Accurate data, which flows seamlessly between Yardi’s connected solutions on a single platform, delivers the greatest benefits to CRE teams. With every informed decision feeding the next, you can build on your organizational intelligence and strengthen performance across your portfolio.
