Summary
Summary
JLL, a global real estate services firm, faced challenges in managing complex lease data across 175 legal jurisdictions. To modernize data access and governance, JLL partnered with DealSumm and Databricks, implementing a solution that transformed lease documents into accurate, queryable records. As a result, AI accuracy in lease extraction improved to over 92%, and review times per lease decreased significantly.
Background
JLL operates in the real estate industry, managing lease data that is critical for strategic, financial, and operational decisions. Before deploying the new solution, JLL relied on thousands of subject-matter experts to manually review lease documents, which was thorough but not scalable. The extracted data often ended up in disconnected spreadsheets, making it difficult for business users to access meaningful insights.
Challenge
The primary challenge was the inefficiency of extracting and accessing accurate lease data. JLL needed a solution that would allow business users to interact with complex lease information without depending on technical teams, while also ensuring high accuracy and traceability.
Solution
JLL partnered with DealSumm to create a purpose-built platform on Databricks that automates lease abstraction. This solution extracts over 2,500 data points per lease with full traceability back to the original documents. A human reviewer validates outputs before finalization, and the system tracks changes in amendments, eliminating the need for complete re-abstraction. Genie, the conversational interface, allows users to query lease data directly, enhancing accessibility.
Results
AI accuracy in lease field extraction improved from 65% to over 92% before human review. Review time per lease decreased from 130 minutes to 85 minutes, team throughput doubled, and the cost per completed abstract fell by 30%. These improvements were achieved without increasing the overall cost structure.
Key Insights
The deployment illustrates the importance of integrating AI with domain expertise to enhance data accessibility. By enabling business users to query data directly, organizations can make faster, more informed decisions. The shift from static outputs to dynamic, queryable knowledge assets can transform how data is utilized across the business.
Customer Testimonial
"The data was always there, and the models were strong, but accessing that information in a meaningful way was still a challenge for our teams." — Andrew Ray, Head of Transformation Portfolio Services, Business Lines at JLL.
