Overview
Building Engines, a JLL company, provides Prism, the industry's most advanced building operations platform designed for commercial real estate owners and managers. As of 2026, the platform has solidified its position by integrating deep AI-driven predictive maintenance and automated tenant communication workflows. Its technical architecture is built on a scalable SaaS model that centralizes building data, facilitating operational excellence across diverse asset classes including office, industrial, and retail. The platform's core strength lies in its ability to bridge the gap between building management and tenant experience through a unified data layer. Prism's 2026 iterations feature enhanced API connectivity, allowing for seamless data flow between accounting systems like Yardi and MRI and on-the-ground operational activities. By automating repetitive tasks such as Certificate of Insurance (COI) tracking and preventive maintenance scheduling, Building Engines enables property teams to focus on asset value appreciation rather than administrative overhead. The platform's enterprise readiness is underscored by its robust security protocols and its ability to handle complex, multi-layered portfolio structures with ease.
