Why Leasecake wins

Managing leases manually with spreadsheets makes it harder to see problems and minimize business risk.

Single source of truth instead of shared files.

Leasecake centralizes leases, renewals, options, obligations, and accounting impact in one live system. You will no longer have to deal with version confusion or duplicate trackers.

Automated risk visibility.

Spreadsheets require someone to remember what to look for and manual follow up actions. Leasecake flags expirations, clauses, and downstream impacts automatically.

When the spreadsheet owner leaves, what happens next?

Lease data buried in complex formulas and inherited tabs creates risk when knowledge walks out the door. Leasecake eliminates single-person dependency with standardized, reliable data your entire team can access and trust.

Structure that scales past 20 leases.

What feels manageable today in generic spreadsheet tools becomes fragile as volume increases. Leasecake adds guardrails without enterprise complexity.

Spreadsheets:
Common risk scenarios

Spreadsheets fail gradually over time. Missed updates, fragmented ownership, and invisible assumptions break down generic tools that were never built for lease management.

SCENARIO 1

An upcoming renewal date

With Spreadsheets

Renewal dates depend on manual entry and calendar reminders

Alerts rely on one person maintaining the file

Updates may not sync across versions

Options expire before leadership sees them

With Leasecake

Renewal and notice dates are automatically tracked

Alerts surface well before deadlines

All stakeholders see upcoming exposure

Risk is flagged early, not after-the-fact

Reconsidering your existing tools?
Ask yourself these questions.

Spreadsheets feel inexpensive until cost builds up in risk, effort, and delayed visibility.

"Who actually owns our lease data?"
"How do we know renewal dates are always accurate?"
"How are restrictive clauses or unusual terms identified?"
"How much are we spending reconciling versions or fixing errors?"
"If we were audited tomorrow, how long would prep take?"
