The purchase is part of Eden's continued focus of helping companies seamlessly run and scale their offices through workflow software and a marketplace of facilities services. JLL Technologies, the technology division of the leading real estate firm, led the investment round. Managed by Q, along with their existing clients and service vendors, will be integrated into Eden's existing platform.
