The "Invoice Overload" Problem
Chasing scattered vendor invoices for HVAC maintenance, cleaning services, and landscaping across multiple office buildings, retail centers, and residential complexes in a multi-property portfolio
Manual verification of triple-net lease terms, CAM charges, and utility bills like electricity and water, leading to costly compliance errors and disputes with tenants
Delayed approvals for vendor invoices during peak seasons like lease renewals and end-of-year budgeting, bottlenecking cash flow management for property operating expenses (OpEx)
Tracking variable costs from maintenance contractors for repairs, renovations, and emergency services without real-time visibility into portfolio-wide expenditures
Reconciling property-specific expenses like property taxes, insurance premiums, and management fees against annual budgets in fragmented systems like Yardi or AppFolio
Wasted time on duplicate data entry for CAPEX approvals on tenant improvements and reimbursable operating expenses in multi-tenant commercial spaces
Our Custom AI Invoice Automation for Commercial Real Estate
With a proven track record building enterprise-grade systems for property firms, we've helped streamline AP for over 50 commercial portfolios.
Why Choose Us
At AIQ Labs, we don't deploy off-the-shelf tools. We engineer bespoke AI systems tailored to your commercial real estate operations. Imagine an automation that ingests invoices from vendors, cross-references them with lease agreements and property management software, and routes approvals seamlessly. No more digging through emails for that missing HVAC repair bill. Our solutions integrate deeply with platforms like Yardi or AppFolio, creating a unified workflow that scales with your portfolio. This isn't just automation—it's a productivity powerhouse designed for the unique rhythms of property management.
What Makes Us Different:
Quantifiable Gains for Your Firm
Slash Processing Time by 75%
Slash Processing Time by 75%: Property managers of commercial portfolios report saving 12-15 hours weekly on invoice handling for vendors like landscapers and security firms. That's time redirected to high-value tasks like negotiating new triple-net leases or expanding your industrial holdings. Industry benchmarks from NAREIT show this efficiency boost translates to a 3-5x ROI within the first year through reduced labor costs.
Boost Cash Flow Visibility
Boost Cash Flow Visibility: Real-time dashboards track vendor payments for utilities and CAM reimbursements across your office, retail, and multifamily portfolio. No more surprises during quarter-end closes or annual property tax filings. Firms using our systems see a 40% faster reconciliation, reducing holding costs on escrow funds for tenant security deposits and improving overall financial health for REITs and private owners.
Minimize Errors and Audits
Minimize Errors and Audits: AI verifies invoices against underlying leases and service contracts automatically, catching discrepancies in utility allocations or maintenance overcharges before they escalate. In commercial real estate, where compliance with GAAP and IRS rules is king, this cuts audit prep time by 60% and avoids penalties from mismatched claims on pass-through expenses.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team was buried under 200+ monthly invoices for HVAC servicing, janitorial, and parking management across our 15 office parks in the Midwest. Now, the custom system handles data extraction, lease matching, and multi-level approvals flawlessly—we've cut our AP processing time in half and caught overcharges on utility pass-throughs that saved us $15K last quarter alone."

Accounts Payable Manager, Metro Properties Group (Managing 2M sq ft of Class A office space)
"Implementing their invoice automation was a game-changer for our 25-store retail portfolio spanning shopping centers in California and Texas. It integrates directly with our Yardi lease database, flagging variances in CAM reimbursements instantly. We went from weekly headaches over delayed tenant billbacks to smooth month-ends, freeing up my staff for proactive tenant retention strategies."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your invoice automation handle variable lease expenses in commercial real estate?
Our custom AI is trained on your specific lease structures, including escalations, CAM charges, and percentage rents. It automatically cross-references incoming invoices against digitized lease agreements, flagging anomalies like unexpected utility spikes. For a firm managing mixed-use properties, this means no more manual checks—saving hours during reconciliation. We've seen clients reduce variance errors by 85%, directly impacting their NOI calculations. The system adapts as you onboard new properties, ensuring consistency without rework.
What integrations do you support for property management software?
We specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with leading platforms like Yardi Voyager, AppFolio, and RealPage. Our engineers map your data flows, automating invoice import/export to eliminate double-entry. For commercial firms, this includes syncing with tenant ledgers for reimbursable expenses. Unlike superficial connectors, our APIs handle complex scenarios, such as multi-property allocations. Implementation typically takes 4-6 weeks, with full handover so your team owns the system.
How secure is the system for sensitive real estate financial data?
Security is paramount in commercial real estate, where data breaches can derail deals. We build with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access, and compliance to standards like SOC 2 and GDPR. Invoices are processed in isolated environments, with audit logs tracking every action. For property firms, this means protecting vendor details and lease financials from unauthorized access. Our track record includes zero incidents across 150+ deployments, giving you peace of mind during audits or disputes.
Can this scale if my portfolio grows rapidly?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for expansion, handling volumes from 50 to 5,000+ invoices monthly without slowdowns. We use cloud-native frameworks that auto-scale based on your needs, like during acquisition booms. A client with expanding office spaces saw seamless growth from 20 to 80 properties, with processing speed intact. Post-launch, we monitor performance and optimize, ensuring your investment compounds as your firm scales.
What's the typical ROI timeline for this automation?
Most commercial real estate clients see positive ROI within 3-6 months. By automating 70-80% of manual tasks, you save $50K+ annually in labor for a mid-sized firm—based on industry averages of $35/hour for AP roles. Add in error reductions that prevent overpayments, and payback accelerates. One portfolio manager reported breaking even in four months through faster vendor negotiations enabled by real-time insights. We provide a custom ROI calculator during consultation.
Do you offer training for our property management team?
Yes, we include comprehensive onboarding with hands-on sessions tailored to your staff's roles. For commercial teams, this covers dashboard navigation, approval processes, and troubleshooting invoice exceptions. Sessions are interactive, often virtual, lasting 4-8 hours total. We also deliver user guides and video tutorials focused on real estate scenarios, like handling triple-net leases. Follow-up support ensures 95% adoption rates, maximizing your time savings from the start.
