Portfolio Management: Asset Based Accounting

Most lease asset management software systems are either lease-based or asset-based. The LeaseWave® leasing system is unique because it is both lease- and asset-based, taking advantage of the best that each approach has to offer and thereby most truly replicating reality. Information about assets is maintained in an asset management module that doubles as a virtual storehouse. As leases are booked, the assets are simply associated with the lease in question, making the LeaseWave® system a sophisticated lease asset management software. Consequently, the LeaseWave® system provides the convenience of entering and later managing leases as though the program were lease-based, while simultaneously maintaining independent asset information as though the product were asset-based.

As a lease asset management software, the LeaseWave® system therefore provides users with a natural and elegant way to handle such asset-based features as sales tax, property tax, asset-driven rentals, maintenance charges / chargebacks, asset-based administrative and other charges. Unlike most typical leasing systems, the LeaseWave® leasing system does not have to derive and force asset-dependent calculations. Especially for operating leases, where the asset may change hands over its life, this model makes for an effective way to maintain historic data very simply and in the most accurate way possible.

  • Maintain asset information (including depreciation) independent of the lease contract it belongs to
  • Associate any number of assets with a particular lease in the back-end lease management system
  • Record lease investment information on an asset-by-asset basis, thereby leveraging the LeaseWave® leasing system’s capability as a comprehensive lease asset management software system
  • Run critical reports by asset and by lease, enabling multi-tiered performance analysis
  • Clone similar assets to avoid redundant data entry
  • Import multiple assets into a lease at the same time or at different times over the lease installation process
  • Use sophisticated filtering criteria (using any relevant field in the system) and tools to identify assets that fit any given criteria.
  • Payoff / buyout / terminate assets selectively from leases without affecting the entire lease.
