Our team is thrilled to join thousands of corporate real estate professionals in Chicago. This year’s theme, Beyond the Horizon: From Complexity to Clarity, describes the challenge most CRE teams face today: shifting workplace demand, economic uncertainty, and portfolio data scattered across lease, finance, facilities, and project systems.
We’re proud to sponsor this year’s CoreNet Global Summit and look forward to connecting with CRE leaders, exchanging ideas, and sharing how technology is helping teams navigate this complexity.

Nakisa IWMS is a purpose-built, AI-powered solution for real estate and finance teams to assist them with portfolio management, lease accounting and compliance, capital projects planning and execution and facility maintenance.
Recognized by Gartner, Nakisa IWMS meets the needs of global retailers with advanced AI-driven automation, a centralized data repository for cross-functional collaboration, native ERP integration and APIs, as well as robust analytics and reporting. It comprises four product suites:
A powerful yet intuitive end-to-end solution that centralizes and automates real estate portfolio management. Track contractual obligations, manage asset lifecycles, and automate complex rent calculations, including escalating, indexed, and variable rent, as well as CAM and insurance reconciliations. Benefit from advanced automation with mass operations, AI Agents (including the AI Document Abstraction, AI Agent for analytics, AI Agent for complex rent calculations, etc.), a configurable multi-level approval system, and collaborative workflows. Nakisa also streamlines external collaboration with the vendor portal and transparent invoice management.Â
Delivers true contract- and asset-level lease accounting with seamless parallel compliance for IFRS 16, ASC 842, local GAAP, and government accounting standards. The suite offers robust AI-driven functionality for lease administration, event management, and batch operations. It provides a wide range of out-of-the-box financial reports—including Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow—as well as detailed disclosure reports such as Asset Roll Forward, Lease Liability, and Maturity Analysis to support regulatory filings like 10-K and 10-Q.
Enables capital project managers to easily plan, initiate, and implement any capital project, whether an opening, renovation, relocation, expansion, downsizing, or closure. The suite facilitates financial forecasting and budget management and enables optimal site selection through side-by-side evaluations and advanced financial viability analytics. It also offers powerful project management functionalities, from AI-powered milestone scheduling and project templates to Gantt charts, in-app and email notifications.
Provides a cohesive system to track asset inventory, conduct AI-assisted facility inspections, and ensure proactive and reactive maintenance through efficient work order management. It also allows for continuous tracking and reporting on vendor performance via the vendor portal.
I can see that end users do more value-added jobs now. They don’t need to chase the real estate team for lease information or perform manual data entry. Instead, they validate data and close efficiently. For example, month-end closing is now twice as fast with Nakisa, saving 50% of man-hours.
Nakisa allows us to be more efficient with all our rent payments and do better follow-ups on our deadlines, renewals, deposits, etc. It enables us to create custom-made reports to be used with our financial statements. The software is very user-friendly.
