Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered lease abstraction software saves time and money
SYDNEY, June 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MRI Software (“MRI“), a global leader in real estate software solutions, announces ASX200-listed Abacus Property Group (ASX:ABP) selected MRI™ Contract Intelligence powered by Leverton AI™ to automate all lease data abstraction and integration across its Australian Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) business as part of a new three-year agreement.
David Bowie, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Asia Pacific, MRI Software.
Abacus Property Group (Abacus) is now using MRI Contract Intelligence to digitise about 700 legacy leases initially. Once done, time spent by the internal legal team and property managers handling contract-related queries is forecast to drop significantly.
Abacus also intends to use the new cloud-based Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered solution from MRI to also produce feasibility reports, financial modelling, and trend trackers, and manage lease creation, storage and queries across their finance, legal and property teams.
The proptech-fuelled “cloud-change” is consistent with a broader trend in Australian property management and real estate investment firms, according to David Bowie, Senior Vice President and Managing Director for Asia Pacific, MRI Software (pictured).
“We’re hearing a lot more from progressive property leaders like Abacus wanting better, smarter, data-informed insights to underwrite their post-COVID growth plans. They refuse to be stunted by slow, manual processes and are discovering that having meaningful access to deep volumes of data not only makes things faster, but uncovesr revenue opportunities such as rent-roll comparisons and anomalies in key lease terms that are picked up with deep machine learning AI capabilities,” he said.
The ability to create transparent, accurate and auditable lease portfolios is critical for companies with real estate assets to comply with global accounting standards such as IFRS 16 and ASC 842.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
