Without a direct connection between your lease accounting software and your ERP system, data must be manually transferred between the two systems, increasing the risk of errors, inconsistencies, and delays. This can significantly impact the accuracy and reliability of your lease accounting data and financial reporting. Manual data entry and reconciliation are time-consuming and can stretch lean teams even further without leaving time for more important tasks.
The lack of visibility between systems can hinder informed decision-making, as you may not have a complete or up-to-date picture of your lease portfolio and its financial implications.

No more manual data entry or worrying about inconsistencies with your ERP – you get a single source of truth for your lease data. This means better accuracy, real-time visibility into your lease portfolio, and smoother compliance with accounting standards like ASC 842 and IFRS 16. Ultimately, this integration empowers you to make smarter, faster decisions and drive greater financial efficiency.
