Meet Rivi: The AI agent for your compliance, spend, and contracts

Revyse brought your vendor data into one place. Now it’s part of every conversation. How much are you paying this vendor compared to what the contract says? It sounds like a simple question. The answer rarely is.  For most property managers, contracts, compliance, and spend live in different systems, and the data behind it all is constantly changing. The snow removal company that billed well within its contract one winter can blow past it the next, and you might only find out after the contract renews, when it’s too late to negotiate better terms. Across a few vendors at one property, you can keep it all organized. Across hundreds in a portfolio, it gets hard to say at any given moment where everyone stands. It’s easy to see how the insurance certificates lapse without notice, or vendors continue to work with an expired contract on file. Not knowing is a gap, and it’s one you want to close before it finds you. Your vendor questions, answered Rivi is Revyse’s new AI agent for your compliance, spend, and contracts, built into every page of the platform. Ask questions in your own words, and you get answers drawn from the data across your account. “Which vendors with active spend aren’t compliant?” used to mean a filter, an export, and a spreadsheet. Now you just ask, and there’s nothing new to connect. Rivi finds the vendors, reads the records behind them, and explains what it found.  And because your data is connected in Revyse, you can follow a question wherever it leads. Start with which vendors aren’t compliant, ask what you’re contracted to spend with one of them, then ask when their contract renews. Rivi finds, reads, and explains. Your team decides what happens next. Purpose built, not bolted on Rivi isn’t a third-party app added on top of Revyse. It’s built into the platform, where your compliance, contract, and spend data already come together. That means you can ask about a vendor’s compliance, its contract, and what you’re paying it in the same conversation. Take spend. It syncs straight from your financial systems into Revyse and sits next to your contracts and compliance records. So when you ask what you’re contracted to pay a vendor and what they’re actually billing you, Rivi has both sides of the answer. Rivi also follows the permissions already set up in Revyse, so onsite teams see the information that matters to their properties, and nothing more, while corporate sees the full portfolio picture. Answers with the clauses behind them Every vendor contract spells out what they’ll do, what you’ll pay, and what happens if something goes wrong. But when a question comes up, the answer isn’t quick to find. You have to track down the right contract, then read through pages to get to the one clause that matters. Rivi does that digging for you, and it shows you exactly where in the contract the answer came from. Click View in document and the PDF opens with the quoted clause highlighted, and a split view puts the contract beside Rivi’s answer so you can confirm it in seconds. Pick up where you left off Rivi saves your chats, so a question you asked last week is still there when you need it again. Maybe you checked whether a vendor’s insurance was current before they started work, or looked up the contract terms before a renewal call. Open that chat and pick up where you left off instead of starting over. Your chats are private to you, so everyone on your team has their own running list of questions and answers. And if an answer was especially helpful, or missed the mark, a thumbs up or down tells us how to make Rivi better. Try Rivi today Rivi is available now in your Revyse account. Start a chat from your dashboard, or open Rivi from the top navigation on any page. You can ask Rivi about one vendor, one property, or your whole portfolio. What Rivi can answer depends on the features enabled in your Revyse account. A few questions you can try: Which vendors with active spend aren't compliant? Which vendors with active spend don't have a contract on file? What am I contracted to spend with this vendor, and what are they billing me? What does this vendor still need to be compliant? Which renewals are coming up, and what's the spend history? What did we spend with this vendor last March? Need answers? Just ask Rivi.

Introducing Spend Insights: See What Your Contracts Say, and What You’re Actually Paying

Portfolio-wide vendor spend, organized the way operators think — and tied to the contracts that govern it. Your property management system records what you paid. Your contracts say what you should be paying. Most operators have no system that compares the two. You can review invoices, pull a vendor list, or open the general ledger, where invoices land in whichever bucket has budget, not the one they actually belong to. None of that answers the questions your team is trying to ask: Where are we spending most of our money? Has landscaping climbed faster than every other category? Which properties are driving increased spend? Which vendor categories grew year over year? Where do we have leverage at renewal? That's why we built Spend Insights: a portfolio-wide view of vendor spend, organized the way operators actually think — by category, by vendor, by property — with AI Insights on every vendor profile to surface what matters at renewal. Managers now have a place to ask the cost-savings questions they couldn't answer before, and get the answers they need in an instant. Vendor spend is where margin hides Every operator is confronting the same reality: rents are flat, vendor costs are climbing, and the path to NOI expansion runs straight through operating expenses.  Most platforms in this space help you buy things cheaper. That's a procurement efficiency play. It's not the same as knowing whether what you're paying matches what your contract says you should be paying — or whether your spend pattern signals a renewal opportunity, a consolidation play, or a vendor relationship that's quietly drifting. Spend Insights connects what your contracts say, what your PMS shows, and what your vendors are actually doing. No other platform in multifamily ties those three together. Where vendor spend is climbing the fastest Here are some year over year trends we're seeing in the market: Roofing is up 162% in raw spend, 76% per unit Facilities and maintenance supplies are up 53% on a rolling twelve months Payment processing is up 50% Cleaning services are up 30% in raw spend, 8% per unit Utilities are climbing in absolute dollars, but only 8% per unit This tells us portfolios are growing — average unit count is up about 17% — so part of every category increase can be attributed to a bigger footprint, not inflation. Per-unit spending cuts through that noise. That's why Spend Insights shows both. A category up 162% raw but 76% per unit is a real cost story. One up 30% raw but 8% per unit is mostly portfolio growth. These are the kinds of patterns leadership teams have been asking for and couldn't reliably get. Now they can, across their own portfolio, in real time, and with the math already done. Walking into budget season with this view changes the conversation. From portfolio view to vendor view, in one clickThe category roll-up The category roll-up shows every dollar flowing through your portfolio, categorized by what you’re paying for. Contractor Services. Property Management. Landscaping. Roofing. Cleaning. Payment Processing. Each category surfaces total spend, percent change versus the prior period, spend per unit, and spend per location. A procurement lead or finance partner can see at a glance which categories are trending up, which are flat, and which deserve a second look. The vendor drill-down Click into any category and you’ll see every vendor in it, ranked by spend, with the same period-over-period math at the line level. Where is the spend concentrated? Which contractors are growing fastest? Which vendor showed up brand new this period? Same filters, same math, same screen. Tied to the contract, surfaced at renewal Reporting alone has never been the answer. Everyone has a property management system. What operators need is the right data surfaced at the right time to take the right action at renewal. Spend Insights is anchored by the AI Insights layer. On any vendor profile, AI Insights surfaces the spend signals that matter most for the renewal in front of you. AI Insights can tell you when a vendor is getting paid without a contract across multiple properties, or flag dramatic year-over-year spend increase.  Did you know your insurance line is up 30% year over year?  Did you know you're paying $5 million to two payment processors?  Did you know your landscaping spend has climbed 16% in 60 days?  Insights that used to take weeks to find now show up tied to the contract they came from. Why this is only possible at Revyse Most platforms treat spend as a separate problem from contracts and compliance. Different tools, different data, different teams.  Operators don't think about it that way, and Revyse doesn’t either. Spend Insights is the only product in multifamily that connects contract terms, AP data, and vendor compliance in one view. Revyse pairs it with Contract Management, Contract Execution, and Vendor Compliance on a single platform with deep PMS integration — so the vendor you're paying, the contract that governs that spend, and the compliance status of the relationship all live in the same place. That connection is what makes Spend Insights possible. A PMS records transactions but doesn't know what your contract says they should be. A standalone spend tool sees the invoices but not the agreements behind them. Only a platform that owns all three can tell you when spend is drifting from terms, when a vendor is being paid without an active contract, or when a renewal is about to lock in last year's mistake. So when AI Insights flags a vendor at renewal, it's drawing on the full picture: what you signed, what you've paid, and what you're risking. That's the difference between a spend report and contract intelligence. Available now Spend Insights is live today for Revyse customers with a Yardi integration. If you’re already a customer and want Spend Insights enabled, reach out to support@revyse.com.  If you’re not yet a customer, we’d love to show you how Revyse can save your business money.

A New Outlook on Contract Renewals

A renewal is never just a date. It's a decision. Hold the rate or renegotiate? Is the vendor still delivering? Is this contract even worth keeping? And behind every one of those decisions sits a quieter set of questions for your team: Do we have the full picture, or just pieces of it? Where is all of this actually tracked? Does anyone have the bandwidth to review thirty contracts next month, or should we have started last week? That's the gap we built the new Renewals experience to close. Your Renewals tab now pulls every renewal signal into one place, so you can see what needs attention now, what's coming, and where risk is building. Because the teams who win renewals aren't the ones who react fastest. They're the ones who saw it coming. Two views, because renewals aren't one job Corporate teams and property teams need different things from a renewals tool. Corporate teams need a portfolio-wide read on where risk is concentrating, who's overloaded, and which months will test the team. Property teams need a short, focused list of their contracts and what requires their attention today. So we built Renewals with two views, assigned automatically by role. Admin View Admin View gives corporate leadership the full portfolio picture across six tabs: Overview: A contract-type risk matrix with overdue and upcoming windows, from 7 days out to 90. Financial Risk: A 90-day priority list sorted by ACV and days remaining, so the highest-exposure renewals can't drift. Regional Risk: Geographic concentrations of coming-due contracts, so coverage gaps surface before they slip. Team Accountability: Workload and performance status at a glance: who's ahead, who's overloaded, who's gone quiet. Vendor Consolidation: Vendors spanning multiple locations, sorted to surface master service agreement (MSA) and budget opportunities. 2026 Pipeline: Your busiest months, ranked, so you can staff ahead of the crunch rather than react to it. Manager View Manager View is the personal action center for property teams: regional managers, community managers, and anyone managing assigned contracts. It's scoped to your renewals across four tabs: Current Renewals: Daily triage with overdue first, then anything due within 30 days. Monthly Summary: The 30–90 day window, for getting ahead of work before it becomes urgent. Recent Wins: Completed renewals and cancellations over the last 30 days, for performance tracking and 1:1 prep. 2026 Pipeline: A personal renewal schedule for the full year, built for capacity conversations with your manager. Log in and your view is already filtered, already current, already yours. Nothing to configure, nothing to reconcile. From signal to action A contract 90 days out needs a different kind of attention than one 7 days overdue. Renewals is built around that reality, with time-based views at 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90 days that tell your team what to prioritize and how much runway they have. And every table, tile, and row is clickable. A contract flagged "Soon" opens the record. An overloaded team member opens their task list. A vendor spanning ten-plus locations opens the Vendors view with a consolidation conversation ready to start. This isn't a reporting layer. It's a workspace built to collapse the gap between "we should look into that" and "it's already handled." What this means for you Renewals are the highest-leverage moment in portfolio management. Handled well, they protect revenue, reinforce vendor performance, and keep your team working ahead of the calendar. Handled late, they turn into rate drift, silent auto-renewals, and vendor relationships that quietly outlive their value. Your new Renewals outlook gives every team the view they need, and makes the next click the one that moves the work forward. Available now The new Renewals experience is now available for all Revyse customers. Your view is determined by your role: corporate teams land on the Admin View; property teams land on the Manager View. [Log in to explore the new Renewals →]

Revyse Now Tells You Which Contracts Are Missing Across Your Portfolio

Most contract management tools are good at showing you what contracts you have. What they can't do is tell you what contracts you're supposed to have. That's not a small distinction. Enterprise portfolios have dozens of properties and hundreds of vendor relationships, and for each required vendor category, every property needs a current vendor with an active contract. Most corporate teams will tell you they simply can't confirm that's true, not because they're not trying, but because no system has ever been built to tell them. They've sent the directive, updated the policy documents, followed up with spreadsheets and emails to property managers asking them to confirm what's on file. But whether every property actually has a current plumber under contract, right now, today? That's a gap most teams are managing with faith rather than data. By the time it surfaces, it's already a liability. The industry has spent years building better tools for managing the contracts you have. Nobody built a tool for tracking the ones you're supposed to have but don't. Until now. From gap to governance Revyse has expanded its Contract Management solution to give property management companies something they've never had: a system that connects corporate contract expectations to property-level reality, automatically. Here's how it works. Corporate teams can now define a list of Required Contracts: the vendor categories every property must have covered, with a current vendor and an active agreement. The standard lives in Revyse, and Revyse holds every property to it. Revyse then compares those requirements to active vendor contracts at each property and surfaces every gap as a Missing Contract for the relevant site team. These gaps fall into one of two categories: Vendor Required: No vendor has been assigned to a required category. Contract Required: A vendor is assigned, but no active agreement exists in Revyse. Site teams can act on each gap immediately, uploading an agreement, flagging that a contract is in progress, or submitting an exception request if the requirement doesn't apply to their property. Exception requests route to a Regional Manager or designated reviewer for approval within Revyse. Every action updates the status in real time. No email thread. No phone tag. No waiting. Regional managers get a portfolio-wide view, filterable by location to see where gaps are concentrated or by contract type to spot patterns across the portfolio. Corporate gets the live picture: not just what contracts exist, but whether the program is meeting the standard corporate set. For the first time, you don’t need an audit to maintain governance. One system for standards and accountability Required Contracts and Missing Contracts are part of Revyse's Contract Management product because that's where the underlying data already lives. Your vendor list, executed contracts, and corporate standards are already in Revyse. It's all connected. There's no new tool to implement, no separate login, no import-export cycle to maintain. The contract data you already have in Revyse starts doing more. These features are now available for Contract Management customers. Getting it configured for your portfolio takes a quick conversation with our team, so reach out to get started. If Contract Management isn't part of your Revyse setup yet, we can help get you started. The standard your portfolio has been missing is now the standard it's held to.
