Frequently asked questions about Asset Beacon
What is JLL Asset Beacon?
JLL Asset Beacon is an asset management software that consolidates fragmented operational, financial and leasing data from multiple systems into one centralized hub. It automates your manual reporting processes, provides real-time portfolio insights and delivers advanced analytics that enable better, faster decision-making.
Who uses Asset Beacon?
JLL Asset Beacon is designed for commercial real estate (CRE) asset managers, investment professionals and portfolio managers who need to consolidate information from multiple systems.

The platform is ideal for teams seeking to eliminate manual reporting processes, get real-time portfolio insights and streamline workflows across their entire asset management operations.
What makes JLL Asset Beacon different from traditional property management software?
JLL Asset Beacon is an asset management platform that pulls data from your existing property management (PM) systems — combining helpful information without replacing any existing systems. So, while traditional PM software manages individual properties, Asset Beacon aggregates data from multiple PM systems to provide you with unified portfolio-level analytics. Your teams continue using their current systems for daily operations while Asset Beacon analyzes that data to deliver cross-portfolio insights, standardized reporting and performance metrics.
