Equipment Finance Sponsored by Equipment Finance News BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions completes European platform rollout with Odessa Published: 8th October 2026 Share BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions has completed the rollout of a new digital origination platform developed with Odessa across eight European markets, creating a unified operating model for its equipment finance operations. The transformation programme began with an initial launch in Italy, followed by deployments in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Belgium, the UK and Ireland. The implementation replaces a range of country-specific quotation tools, calculation engines and processes with a single platform, designed to improve operational efficiency, streamline origination and provide a more consistent experience for partners and dealers. BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions operates across 18 countries, with the new platform forming part of its wider strategy to modernise equipment finance operations and support future growth. Built on an API-first architecture, the Odessa-powered platform brings together asset management, financial calculations and quotation processes, allowing BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions to standardise core activities while retaining flexibility to meet local market requirements. The new system is intended to reduce quotation turnaround times, simplify the introduction of new finance products and provide a scalable foundation for further expansion. Ralph Crockett, Chief Operating Officer at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, said: “This milestone represents a significant step in our ongoing transformation programme and our commitment to delivering a better experience for our partners, customers, and employees. “By establishing a common digital foundation across multiple markets, we are creating a core operating model that will support our long-term growth ambitions while enabling us to respond more effectively to the evolving needs of the businesses we serve.” Crockett added that the implementation would also support the next phase of the company’s transformation programme, extending modernisation into middle and back-office operations. The rollout is designed to provide BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions with a consistent approach to origination across its European markets, while allowing the business to adapt products and processes to local requirements. Alexandre Ellwood, Managing Director, Europe at Odessa, said: “BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions had a clear vision: to create a more consistent, agile, and scalable operating model across Europe. We are proud to have helped bring that vision to life. “By replacing fragmented systems with a unified platform, the company is better positioned to support growth, accelerate change, and deliver a consistent experience across markets. This milestone reflects the strength of our partnership and lays the foundation for future innovation.” The implementation establishes a common digital origination platform across eight of BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions’ European markets, providing a foundation for further operational improvements and potential expansion into additional countries.
