vs. Lease Administration

# They manage signed leases. We draft them.

Lease administration platforms like Visual Lease and LeaseQuery are essential for managing your lease portfolio after execution. LeasePilot handles everything that happens before the signature.

## Different stages, different tools

The lease lifecycle has two phases. Each phase is owned by a different tool.

1.  № 01 · Pre-Signing
    
    LeasePilot
    
    -   Draft initial lease
    -   Calculate rent schedules
    -   Manage revisions
    -   Negotiate terms
    -   Execute agreement
2.  № 02 · Post-Signing
    
    Lease Admin
    
    -   Abstract terms
    -   Track critical dates
    -   Manage renewals
    -   Calculate ASC 842
    -   Generate reports

## Better together

LeasePilot and lease administration platforms serve different purposes. We focus on creating accurate, complete leases. They focus on managing what happens after you sign.

When you draft with LeasePilot, the lease data is already structured. That makes abstraction faster, reduces errors, and creates a cleaner handoff to your admin system.

-   Structured data exports to lease admin systems
-   Consistent term definitions across all leases
-   Reduced abstraction time and errors
-   Clean critical dates from the source document
