ATLAS (Advanced Transformative Lease Abstraction System)

Lucernex ATLAS uses artificial intelligence to read your PDF lease documents and extract structured data directly into Lucernex. It replaces the manual process of reviewing a lease with hundreds of pages and entering data manually for each field. This performs optical character recognition (OCR) and intelligent data extraction from lease PDFs including handwritten text and low-quality scans.

ATLAS is for:

Lease administrators who want to reduce manual data entry and populate lease records more consistently.
Real estate and finance teams who need accurate lease data for reporting and compliance.
Implementation consultants who set up lease data for new clients. ATLAS accelerates initial data loading during implementations.

This helps you reduce abstraction time by 60 to 80% and improves data consistency compared with manual entry.

Abstract a lease and create a new contract: Upload a lease PDF to ATLAS from Lucernex, extract data into entity types, verify the data, and create a new contract.
Edit a lease and update an existing contract: Upload a PDF with updated lease information, reabstract the lease, and update the contract in Lucernex or edit abstracted lease information and update the Lucernex contract.

Prerequisites

Note: By default, AI Abstracted shows as a Status option in Lucernex entities regardless of whether ATLAS is enabled for your firm. If ATLAS is not enabled for your firm, administrators can set this option to Inactive.

Lucernex ATLAS (Advanced Transformative Lease Abstraction System) is accessed via the Crue option. When Lucernex ATLAS is enabled for your user and firm, the Crue option appears next to the Search box at the top of the screen.

Field mappings

ATLAS extracts lease information into template fields that map to Lucernex entities and fields. The mapping determines where each verified value is saved when you import the lease.

Contract: Core lease information, such as contract name, contract ID, commencement date, expiration date, execution date, agreement type, holding interest, rentable area, payment begin and end dates, and related contract classifications.
Location and Facility: Premises and site information, such as address, city, state, country, postal code, rentable area, usable area, gross area, market area, region, and related location or facility classifications.
Contract Term and Key Date: Term information and related date tracking, such as original, renewal, expansion, relocation, contraction, automatic renewal, notice dates, tickler dates, and event dates.
Covenant: Lease clause summaries, such as assignment and subletting, audit rights, automatic renewal, co-tenancy, expansion, option to renew, percent rent, relocation, rent commencement, termination rights, and other configured covenant types.
Expense Setup: Expense setup information, such as expense group, type, category, frequency, payment due dates, reconciliation flags, CPI information, pro rata share, caps, and tax flags.
Allowance: Tenant allowance information, such as allowance group and type, begin and end dates, total amount, rentable area, section, and notes.
Insurance: Insurance requirement information, such as insurance group, type, category, certificate required, policy required, coverage amount, policy number, coverage dates, and notes.
Responsibility: Responsibility information, such as responsibility group and type, responsible party fields, cap amount, cap percent, effective date, end date, and section.
Security Deposit: Security deposit information, such as deposit amount, deposit currency, guarantee type, interest-bearing flag, required flag, separate account flag, return currency, section, and notes.
Percent Rent: Percent rent summary information, such as percent rent type, begin and end dates, cap amount, floor amount, reporting frequency, payment due days, sales group, proration method, and notes.

The system maps dropdown values using the corresponding Lucernex code tables. ATLAS pulls configured Lucernex dropdown values, such as expense groups and expense types, enabling you to select values that match the target Lucernex configuration.
