Scayled vs VTS: what is the difference for industrial portfolios?
VTS and Scayled are different categories of tool that work well together. VTS is a leasing and asset management platform: landlord teams use it to track deals, lease roll, tenant records and portfolio performance once leasing activity exists. Scayled creates that activity for a specific vacancy: for a unit that is empty or coming back, it finds 250 to 350 businesses the building suits, the person who signs at each, and drafts an approach per business, for a fixed US$749 per vacancy. Interested businesses from a Scayled campaign can then be managed as deals in VTS.

What does VTS do?
VTS is a commercial real estate platform for landlords and their leasing and asset management teams. Its core leasing product, VTS Lease, tracks the leasing pipeline from enquiry to signed lease, holds tenant and deal records, and reports on lease roll and portfolio performance. VTS Market covers digital listing marketing and listing performance, VTS Data provides market demand and lease roll data, and VTS Activate covers tenant and resident experience.
Its strength is visibility over deals already in motion: which enquiries are live, at what stage, with which broker, against which expiries. VTS is priced on quote.
What does Scayled do?
Scayled starts where a leasing pipeline is empty. Given a unit's size, use and intended occupier, it finds 250 to 350 businesses that could take it, flags those with dated signs of needing space, names the person who decides and drafts an approach for each. The agent stays appointed; Scayled adds prospects the listing would not reach.
It covers industrial and logistics property and does not manage deal pipelines, store the rent roll, monitor tenants or forecast vacancy.
How are VTS and Scayled different?
VTS records and manages leasing activity once it exists: an enquiry, a tour, a proposal. Scayled works one step earlier, on a single vacancy, by identifying businesses that are not yet enquiring and getting a direct approach to the person who signs at each.
Each leaves a gap the other fills. VTS cannot generate prospects for a unit nobody has enquired about, and Scayled does not track deals, tours or lease roll once conversations begin.
How do VTS and Scayled work together?
Use VTS to see which units are coming back and where the pipeline is thin against an expiry. Run a Scayled campaign on those units. When a business replies with interest, it becomes a deal in VTS, tracked alongside enquiries from the agent and the portals.
The fund keeps both records: VTS holds the deal history, and the fund's Scayled account keeps every business approached, its contact and the email it was sent, ready for the next vacancy in the same market. Replies come straight to the fund's inbox, so logging them in VTS is the same habit as any other enquiry.
When should a fund use each?
Use VTS to run leasing across the portfolio: pipeline management, broker coordination, lease roll reporting and asset performance.
Use Scayled when a particular unit needs more prospective tenants than the listing and the agent's contacts are producing, or before a likely handback, without advertising the space.
What does each cost?
VTS is priced on quote, so compare it on a proposal for your own book.
On the Scayled side the price is per unit: The Campaign, US$749 for the Full 250 to 350 businesses in about five working days, or from US$449 for a Focused list of the strongest 100 to 150. One payment, no subscription and no commission; if Scayled sends for the fund, that is US$299 more, from a mailbox the fund adds on its own company email. It fills the pipeline VTS shows is thin, alongside marketing the vacancy beyond listing portals.
