For lease accounting and controllership teams
REAL calculates every CPI-linked and fixed escalation independently from the lease, and flags every landlord invoice that doesn’t match.
Why it matters
CPI and fixed escalations compound across a lease term in ways that are easy to apply incorrectly, whether the wrong base period, a missed cap, or an error in compounding. REAL recalculates every escalation from the source clause and reconciles it against every invoice.

REAL extracts the index name, base period, caps, floors, and compounding method from the escalation clause itself, so the formula behind every rent bump is explicit and auditable.

REAL pulls the published index and applies the lease’s own formula, cap, and floor, then compares its result against the landlord’s invoiced amount.

$18,400/yrWhen a calculation doesn’t match, REAL shows exactly which invoice, which clause, and which step in the formula diverged, so your team disputes with evidence instead of a recalculation from scratch.

Every workflow, one context
Lease, financial, construction, facilities, and portfolio workflows run on the same asset or location context. What one workflow learns becomes usable by the next, without rebuilding the evidence every time.
Lease Accounting
Compliance breaks when the accounting and the underlying lease drift apart, usually after a modification or a missed amendment. Holding the lease itself as the source of truth keeps the calculations defensible. REAL maintains auditable, current lease data and runs ASC 842 and IFRS 16 calculations from it, so compliance is held continuously rather than rebuilt at quarter close.
Every figure an auditor questions should link to the clause it came from. When the trail from entry to source is one click, the audit gets shorter. REAL keeps each calculation tied to the source lease, so a number can be traced to its origin without a manual document hunt.
A lease modification should flow through to the accounting automatically, not wait for someone to notice. REAL works from a single lease record shared across the platform, so when a term changes the accounting reflects it, and lease administration and finance are working from the same source rather than reconciling two versions.
Yes. Classifications, remeasurements, and adjusting entries post to your ERP on schedule, each with the clause reference and audit trail attached, so nothing gets re-keyed between the lease system and the books.

CPI & Escalations
REAL reads the escalation clause itself to identify the named index, the base period, and any caps or floors, then pulls the matching published index value, so the calculation always matches what the lease actually specifies rather than a default assumption.
Yes. REAL recalculates the escalation independently from the lease clause and compares it against every landlord invoice, flagging any invoice that applies the wrong index period, ignores a cap, or misapplies compounding.
Yes. REAL handles fixed-percentage bumps, CPI-linked adjustments, and hybrid clauses that combine both, applying whichever formula and timing the lease specifies.
