What software helps industrial landlords keep units occupied?
The software that keeps industrial units occupied is the part that finds the next tenant, not the part that collects rent: a property management system such as Yardi, MRI or Re-Leased runs the leases, but filling a unit means reaching the businesses it suits. Scayled does that for industrial landlords. For each vacancy it finds 250 to 350 matched businesses nearby and across the market, names the person who signs at each, checks the contact and drafts the approach, ready in about five working days for a fixed US$749 with no commission.

What software does an industrial landlord need?
Every landlord needs a system to run the leases: rent, recoveries, arrears, critical dates and owner reporting. Institutional landlords use Yardi Voyager or MRI; smaller landlords and syndicates often use Yardi Breeze or Re-Leased, a cloud commercial property platform; an owner with one or two buildings can manage with a good spreadsheet and an accountant.
These systems are good at the income you already have. They remind you when a lease ends and chase arrears. They do not help find the next tenant, which is the job that decides how long a unit sits empty.
How do industrial landlords find tenants today?
Most appoint a leasing agent, who lists the unit on portals such as LoopNet and Crexi in the US, realcommercial.com.au in Australia or Rightmove in the UK, puts up a signboard and works their own database of requirements. That is the right way to reach businesses already searching.
Its limit is timing. A listing reaches whoever is searching that month and competes with every other listing that week. The business that takes the unit is often one that had not started searching: a neighbour outgrowing its site, or a company whose lease is coming up. No listing reaches it until it starts looking.
What does Scayled do for an industrial landlord?
Scayled finds and prepares the businesses a unit suits, so the landlord can approach them directly. The landlord sends a short brief: the building, its size, what it suits, and anyone to leave alone. Scayled maps every business operating around the property, searches the wider market for businesses whose operation fits it, and ranks them.
For every business on the list, the landlord gets the person who would sign a lease, usually the owner, director or property lead, a contact checked as deliverable, and a drafted email that explains why this particular building suits that operation. It all arrives in the landlord's Scayled account and email drafts in the owner's voice, so any reply comes straight back to the landlord rather than through a middleman.
Do you still need a leasing agent?
Often yes, and the two work together. The agent keeps the listing; the direct approach reaches the businesses a listing does not. The landlord can send the approaches from their own email, or share the list with the agent, so no business is approached twice.
Approaches go out under the landlord's or the agent's name, and nothing is made public. If an agent holds a sole agency, read the agreement: many entitle the agent to a fee on any letting in the term. Scayled itself takes no commission on the letting.
Which landlords is it for, and which is it not for?
It is built for industrial and logistics property: warehouses, distribution and logistics facilities, yards and showrooms. It suits private industrial landlords with no in-house leasing team, property funds and syndicates, asset and portfolio managers, and owner-occupiers subdividing or releasing surplus space.
It is not built for residential landlords, shopping centres or retail parks, or for assets with nothing vacant or coming back.
What does it cost?
Each vacancy is one payment for The Campaign: US$749 for the Full version, or from US$449 for a Focused one covering the strongest 100 to 150 businesses. There is no commission on the letting and no subscription, and for US$299 more Scayled sends the approaches from a mailbox on your company email.
If the property cannot support the number of businesses, Scayled says so before you pay, and the landlord keeps every business, contact and email either way. Landlords who would rather run lettings themselves can read in-house leasing for industrial landlords.
Lease The Vacancy In-House, Before You Appoint An Agent.
The Campaign finds the 250 to 350 businesses the building suits, names the person who decides at each and writes every email, ready in about five days. One payment of US$749 per property, no commission and no subscription. A focused 100 to 150 from US$449.
