\"Introducing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Every commercial lease contains critical information, from tenant details and rent escalations to clauses buried deep within complex legal language. Until now, lease abstraction, the process of extracting document information and entering it into a system, has been a time-consuming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yardi Smart Lease<\/a> transforms how lease abstraction is handled from start to finish. It helps commercial property managers work more efficiently while improving accuracy across entire operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI-powered lease abstraction built into Voyager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart Lease is fully embedded within Yardi Voyager. It\u2019s not a third-party add-on or integration to manage. It operates within the same platform that already houses tenant records, billing cycles, accounts receivable and lease amendments, creating a seamless experience for Voyager users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a new lease is ready for processing, simply upload the document into Voyager. From there, Smart Lease uses optical character recognition (OCR) and AI models trained on your lease structures and property configurations to identify and extract key data points, including spaces, square footage, rent schedules, escalations, percentage rent and critical clauses. The system then maps that information directly to the appropriate Voyager lease fields, significantly reducing the time and effort typically required for manual data entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A review process designed for accuracy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, Smart Lease is designed to support your team\u2019s expertise rather than replace it. After the initial AI extraction, users can review and validate the captured data within an intuitive interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If additional clauses or details need to be included, users can interact directly with the document by selecting relevant sections, linking them to Voyager fields and adding them to the abstraction. No workarounds or external tools. Once the review is complete, Smart Lease automatically populates the lease record in Voyager with the finalized data. This ensures consistency and accuracy throughout the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clear, plain-language clause summaries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lease documents are often complex and difficult to navigate, particularly when teams need to quickly reference specific provisions. Smart Lease solves this challenge by generating easy-to-read summaries for each captured clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These summaries are stored within the Voyager tenant record, allowing users to quickly review key terms without having to read through lengthy legal text. Organizations also have the flexibility to configure summarization preferences so the output aligns with their internal standards and desired level of detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Source documents are just a click away<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart Lease ensures that original lease documents remain fully connected to the data extracted from them. Each uploaded PDF is linked directly to the corresponding tenant record in Voyager. This creates a clear and traceable connection between source material and system data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, captured clauses are tied to their exact location within the document, allowing users to open the lease and navigate directly to the relevant section with a single click. This streamlined access eliminates the need for manual searching and enables faster and more efficient reviews and audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An AI assistant that actually knows your lease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart Lease also includes an integrated AI assistant that allows users to ask natural language questions about lease data. They receive precise, context-aware answers. Whether reviewing a new tenant before activation or confirming specific lease terms, users can quickly access information without manually searching through documents or records. By analyzing both the lease document and the associated Voyager record, the AI assistant provides accurate responses to quickly help teams make informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Faster lease abstraction from upload to active tenant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart Lease brings intelligent automation into existing Voyager workflows. It also shortens the path from lease upload to an active tenant record. By reducing manual entry and minimizing errors, you can focus on higher-value work for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
