JLL Standardises on SwiftConnect’s Connected Access Network for Mobile Access Across Corporate Offices and Managed Assets
JLL is a Fortune 500 global commercial real estate services and investment management firm with operations in over 80 countries and a global workforce of over 111,000 professionals. The company manages billions of square feet of commercial real estate worldwide and provides comprehensive real estate services.
JLL identified a need to enable mobile access for a modern workforce and address the growing challenges of managing disparate access control systems across a global footprint.
By standardising on SwiftConnect’s connected access network, JLL employees can use their iPhone, Apple Watch, or Android device in their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for seamless access to base building entrances and office suites with a single mobile credential, removing the need for physical badges across its global locations.
The Opportunity
-
A Mobile Access Standard for a Modern Workforce
JLL set out to create a frictionless access environment by empowering employees to use NFC wallets in their mobile devices for effortless building access across global JLL locations and creating a more fluid and sustainable workday.
-
Simplifying a Fragmented Global Estate
JLL also needed to streamline and simplify management of disparate physical access control systems across its global corporate portfolio, while ensuring data privacy by isolating PACS data to the respective organisations as it flows between different systems.
-
Bridging Landlord and Tenant Systems
Integrating the base building’s landlord access control system with JLL’s own PACS, a common challenge in multi-tenant buildings, was equally critical to enabling seamless access experiences for employees and operational efficiencies for administrators.
“JLL Spark recognised early on how fragmented the access control landscape was and how traditional access methods were ill-equipped to meet the growing need for frictionless office access. Our investment in SwiftConnect years ago was driven by this clear gap. Deploying the company’s platform across JLL offices and managed assets is a natural expression of our confidence in what SwiftConnect delivers.”
