What technology stack do industrial and logistics funds run on?
Industrial and logistics funds typically run six layers: fund administration and investor reporting (Juniper Square, or the investment modules of Yardi or MRI), property and lease accounting (Yardi or MRI), valuation and cash flow modelling (ARGUS Enterprise), leasing pipeline (VTS), market data and benchmarks (CoStar, MSCI) and tenant credit monitoring (Creditsafe, Dun & Bradstreet, Experian). Scayled is used at one point in that stack: when a unit is vacant or coming back, it finds 250 to 350 businesses the building suits and the person who signs at each.

What are the layers of an industrial fund's technology stack?
Fund level: investor relations, capital calls, distributions and reporting. Asset level: leases, rent, recoveries and critical dates. Valuation: cash flows and value by asset. Leasing: deals, tours and lease roll. Market: availability, rents, comparables and benchmarks. Risk: tenant credit and concentration. A data warehouse and a reporting tool such as Power BI or Tableau usually sit across all of them.
Smaller funds combine layers in fewer products and more spreadsheets. Larger funds integrate specialist tools, and the integration often costs as much effort as the tools themselves.
Which tools handle fund administration and investor reporting?
Juniper Square is widely used by private real estate managers for investor portals, fund administration and reporting. Yardi and MRI both offer investment management modules that sit on the same data as their property systems. Some managers outsource fund administration to a specialist administrator.
This layer is about the investors, not the buildings, so it depends on the property layer for accurate income and occupancy.
Which tools run properties, leases and accounts?
Yardi Voyager and MRI are the enterprise standards for lease administration, billing, recoveries, arrears and critical dates. Yardi Breeze and Re-Leased serve smaller portfolios. Lease abstraction tools pull key dates and clauses out of signed leases into these systems.
They are the source of truth for contracted income. They say nothing about which businesses could take a unit if a tenant leaves.
Which tools value assets and model cash flow?
ARGUS Enterprise, from Altus Group, is the standard for institutional valuation and cash flow modelling, and external valuers commonly use it, which makes it easier to reconcile internal and external numbers. Some funds use Excel models for business plans and acquisitions.
Renewal probability and downtime are the inputs with the most judgement in them. Evidence about tenants and replacement demand makes them more defensible.
Which tools cover leasing, market data and tenant credit?
VTS for the leasing pipeline and lease roll. CoStar for availability, lease comparables, tenant records and submarket analytics, with MSCI for performance benchmarks. Creditsafe, Dun & Bradstreet and Experian for credit monitoring and alerts on tenants and guarantors, and CreditRiskMonitor for listed tenants.
Together they tell a fund what the market is doing and which tenancies carry financial risk. They do not name the specific businesses that would suit a vacant logistics unit, or the person at each who signs.
Where does Scayled fit, and what does it cost?
In the stack, Scayled sits at the leasing end and is used on a vacancy or an upcoming expiry. A brief on the unit becomes 250 to 350 businesses it would suit, nearby and further out, each with the person who signs, a checked contact and a personal email, loaded into the owner's Scayled account in about five working days. It works alongside the appointed agent.
The price is per vacancy: The Campaign is US$749 for the Full version or from US$449 for a Focused one, paid once with no commission and no subscription. Every campaign stays in the fund's Scayled account, so the businesses found for one asset carry over to the next. What goes into a leasing campaign explains each part.
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.
