Visual Lease

Visual Lease

SaaS lease portfolio management and compliance

Overview

Visual Lease provides lease management software (SaaS) that helps finance leaders manage all leased and owned assets in one system. It automates lease portfolio tasks, acts as the system of record for lease data, and helps companies comply with accounting standards like IFRS 16 while tracking the environmental impact of assets. The product works by offering a cloud-based platform where users input lease information, automate tasks, generate reports, and ensure regulatory compliance. Its differentiators include a dedicated focus on lease portfolio optimization, IFRS 16 compliance, and sustainability reporting, along with the promise of saving hundreds of hours through automation. Revenue comes from recurring subscription fees for access to the platform. The company’s goal is to help businesses optimize their lease portfolios, reduce risk, and improve financial and operational results by providing a centralized, compliant, and auditable lease management solution.
