PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & LEASE BILLING

From signed lease to collected rent, with humans only where it matters.

How a PropTech platform automated the full lease-to-payment lifecycle, from signed lease to recurring rent to pay-or-vacate escalation.

PropTech Platform: Automated Lease-to-Payment
1

Five-phase automated lease-to-payment lifecycle

2

security deposits and rent processed through Column Bank and Stripe

3

ambiguities in lease terms always escalate to a human, never assumed

4

optional maintenance-request workflow with 48-hour SLA tracking

The problem

The problem

A property technology startup building a next-generation property management platform for design-partner property managers had no automated link between a signed lease and the payments it owed. Staff manually tracked down and followed up on every payment, the platform had no invoice generation, and missed payments or eviction steps could slip through when handled entirely by hand.

What Loopfour automated

What Loopfour automated
  1. 1Lease signed: the signed lease pushes via REST API, terms are extracted (rent, security deposit, pet and parking fees, start date, term length) and parsed deterministically, with any ambiguity surfaced to a human instead of assumed
  2. 2Schedule generated: a recurring monthly rent schedule builds for the full term, negotiated extras get their own schedule, and both attach to the property portfolio
  3. 3Move-in collection: the security deposit collects via Column Bank, invoices generate via Stripe, and a missing deposit by move-in surfaces as an exception
  4. 4Recurring rent: monthly payment orchestration runs through Stripe FBO accounts with automatic reconciliation, syncing payment status back via API
  5. 5Exceptions and escalation: exceptions route to the right property manager by property, surface as action items inside the platform, and a missed rent payment triggers a pay-or-vacate escalation

An optional maintenance workflow closes the loop further: a completed maintenance request with an invoice attached ingests automatically, routes to the property manager for approval, and flags anything overdue past 48 hours.

Why it matters for controllers

Why it matters for controllers

Settlement stays inside the existing stack, the automation orchestrates rather than transmits funds itself, and every ambiguous lease term goes to a human instead of getting silently guessed at.
