When CFOs review reports, one question keeps coming up: Where did this number come from? For most portfolios, that question takes time to answer because the data lives across a mix of point solutions and spreadsheets that don’t talk to each other. Better AI analytics won’t solve that until the underlying data is trustworthy.
Yardi’s new platform gives you both. Virtuoso Enterprise for Commercial puts the core functions of running a CRE portfolio on one AI-driven platform. Built on a workflows informed by 40+ years of experience, this AI-powered CRE accounting solution keeps your data current and reportable from the moment a tenant signs their lease.
Commercial lease abstraction built for accuracy
Leases are the most important documents for keeping commercial real estate accounting accurate. If terms aren’t in the system, a portfolio loses money at best and faces serious risk exposure at worst. But leases are long and written in legalese. Even with legal counsel abstracting them, it’s easy to overlook terms or make a mistake re-keying them into the system.
Smart Lease eliminates both problems. When a commercial lease document arrives, Smart Lease identifies every key term, lists each with a confidence score for your review and populates the lease record once you approve the abstraction.

Unlike other commercial lease abstraction services, it’s built for accuracy, not just speed. The platform translates complex legal language into plain statements, so terms are easy to verify. It links every extracted field back to the exact passage in the source document. Your team ends up with a single, consistent lease repository and a clean handoff from document intake to an active lease.
When your team needs to reference a lease later, there’s no PDF to dig through. AI chat in the tenant record answers plain-language questions with the source clause linked.
AI built into your general ledger, not bolted onto it
An abstracted term is only useful if the accounting system acts on it. In most portfolios, that’s where the thread breaks: Terms live in one tool, accounting rules are set up by hand in another, and the two drift apart unless someone actively manages them.
Virtuoso Enterprise includes Yardi’s general ledger solution — so when an abstraction is approved, the terms become live accounting rules in the ledger, not parallel records. Escalations and recovery setups reflect what the document says. Every operational step that follows reads from the GL and writes back to it, with no exports, synced copies or integrations.
Built for the way commercial tenants do business
Once a lease is live in the ledger, rent collection is the next place where data must stay current. Virtuoso Enterprise for Commercial allows you to provide tenants with CommercialCafe Tenant Portal, a self-service portal that keeps every record up to date in your ledger.
Online payments through the portal lets tenants pay rent by ACH, debit, credit, check and automated bank connection. Every payment updates the GL immediately.

The portal also simplifies tenant work orders for everyone involved. Submission is easy, and requests become records in the general ledger instead of waiting in an email inbox.
Tenant sales data can be logged directly in the portal, eliminating manual submissions and automatically adjusting accounting records for accurate, auditable rate calculations and recoveries.
CRE analytics you can report confidently
With lease information, general ledger and your receivables all in one place, your portfolio has the data integrity for reliable analytics and defensible reporting. Creating reports is as simple as describing what you need in plain language — AI builds them in-platform, and you can drill any figure down to its line-item detail.
Manual reporting options are also available: custom reports with defined pivot tables, graphs and formulas, sent to stakeholders directly from the platform without exporting data.
Virtuoso Connector lets you securely connect your preferred LLM — Claude, Copilot or ChatGPT — directly into your Yardi data. Ask any question about your data, build complex models and forecasts, or create one-off reports on demand.

AI that keeps the GL on track
Detail-oriented accounting work is where information is most likely to get lost. Virtuoso Enterprise for Commercial addresses this with agentic flows that handle routine invoice processing and approval.
When an invoice arrives, Smart AP codes it. Smart Approval, a premium agent, extracts invoice data, matches it against purchase orders on price, SKU and quantity, and routes it through the approval workflows you define. The dual agents flag exceptions — a new vendor on a property, an amount above historical norms — so your team reviews Most importantly, the agent analyzes your invoice history and regenerates approval rules monthly, making it smarter over time.
Eliminate the software learning curve with AI support
Virtuoso Enterprise for Commercial includes an in-app support chat module across every Yardi product. Users can ask questions on product usage and get step-by-step instructions immediately. Combined with role-specific dashboards and AI analytics across the platform, anyone on your portfolio team can start driving NOI improvements as soon as the platform is live.
