From Lease Chaos to Clarity: How Leading Operators Centralize Their Data

“When accounting, real estate, legal, and operations work in silos, inefficiency creeps in everywhere. Duplicate vendors appear, data becomes inconsistent, and teams waste time verifying information instead of moving forward. Accounting might meet ASC-842 requirements, but real estate still lacks the reports it needs, and operations ends up chasing expired licenses.”
— Karla, Partner at Property Works

Pulling a simple report on renewals or rent escalations can take days when lease data isn’t centralized. The issue isn’t effort, it’s fragmentation. Without a single, unified system, teams can’t see the full picture or act quickly when problems arise. That’s why leading operators, from complex national portfolios like Pep Boys to regional franchise groups like PAC Pizza, partner with Property Works to centralize their lease data and connect every department.

Centralization starts with a foundation that supports everyone. For Property Works clients, that foundation is SiteHub, our proprietary software designed to unite accounting, real estate, operations, and legal.

Here’s what that looks like in action.

Finance teams spend countless hours verifying charges, managing rent changes, and preparing journal entries. With Property Works, those manual tasks turn into seamless workflows.

• ERP Integration: Every recurring and one-time rent charge feeds directly into your accounting system, fully validated and audit-ready.

• Critical Date Alerts: Automatic notifications for rent escalations, renewals, and expirations keep AP ahead of deadlines.

• ASC-842 Compliance: Journal entries and remeasurements are generated automatically with clean, centralized data.

• Real Estate Tax Management: Bills are tracked, validated, and paid on time, no more late fees or scrambling for missing invoices.

Finance teams gain confidence in every number and reclaim valuable time for analysis and forecasting.

Real estate teams no longer have to search for documents, amendments, or renewal details across multiple folders. Every clause, date, and landlord communication lives in SiteHub, accessible company-wide.

• Instantly see all active leases, options, and obligations.

• Track remodel and franchise requirements alongside lease terms.

• Generate detailed lease reports in seconds.

With full visibility and automated updates, real estate becomes a strategic partner instead of a reactive department.

Operations and legal are often the first to feel the pain of missing information. A forgotten renewal, an expired license, or a misplaced maintenance responsibility can disrupt daily business.

SiteHub bridges that gap by bringing everything together.

• Alcohol, health, and business licenses are not only tracked with built-in alerts but also renewed by the Property Works team to ensure every location stays compliant and nothing slips through the cracks.

• Maintenance and Facilities Coordination: Responsibilities are clearly assigned and visible—no more confusion over whether a repair belongs to the tenant or landlord.

• Legal Access: Every lease, exhibit, and amendment is searchable within seconds, eliminating time wasted hunting through files.

These connections turn reactive fire drills into proactive management.

How Automated Lease Alerts Reduce Risk, Save Time, and Keep Your Team Aligned

Alerts only work if they reflect what each role actually cares about: Accounts Payable needs rent escalations and invoice exceptions, while Real Estate needs option notice windows and expirations. With user-level customization, SiteHub routes the right alert to the right person at the right time, reducing noise and turning notifications into action.

Centralization only works when the data behind it stays accurate. That’s why Property Works pairs SiteHub with a full-service team that keeps every lease, payment, and license current. From onboarding and CAM audits to AP setup and renewals, we manage the details so your system stays reliable, and your teams stay aligned.

Centralization isn’t just a cleaner system, it’s a new way of operating.

With one platform powering finance, real estate, operations, and legal, your teams stop chasing updates and start focusing on growth.
