Yardi Voyager is the industry-leading property management and accounting platform used by commercial and multifamily real estate owners and managers globally. It centralizes lease administration, accounts payable, general ledger, and tenant billing in a single system. Voyager's lease module supports full lifecycle management from lease entry through CAM reconciliation and critical date tracking.
Lextract extracts all 126 lease fields into a structured JSON or CSV output that maps directly to Yardi Voyager's lease entry screens, eliminating manual data entry. After uploading a lease PDF to Lextract, your team receives a clean data file that can be imported into Voyager's lease commencement, rent schedule, and option tracking modules. This reduces data entry time from hours to minutes and eliminates transcription errors that commonly occur when manually keying lease terms.
Lextract provides the following export formats compatible with Yardi Voyager:
These are the highest-priority fields Lextract extracts for Yardi Voyager users:
Lextract currently provides CSV and Excel exports formatted for Yardi Voyager's data import templates. Direct API integration with Yardi is on the product roadmap. For now, the CSV import workflow takes approximately 15 minutes per lease compared to 2-4 hours for manual entry.
The primary modules are: Lease Administration (commencement, expiration, rent schedules), Critical Dates (option notice deadlines), CAM Reconciliation (pro-rata share, CAM caps, exclusions), and Charge Codes (base rent, CAM estimates, insurance, tax). The options module requires manual setup but benefits from the extracted option terms and notice periods.
Upload the amendment PDF to Lextract separately and extract only the modified fields. Then update the specific fields in Voyager using the amendment data. Lextract clearly identifies which fields are being modified by the amendment versus preserved from the original lease.
