BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions launches Odessa platform in Italy

BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, a provider of business equipment financing in Europe, has announced the successful launch of the Odessa digital originations platform in Italy. This marks the first phase of the company’s broader digital transformation strategy across key European markets.

A subsidiary of BNP Paribas, the company partners with top equipment manufacturers and distribution networks to offer leasing and rental solutions tailored to business needs. The integration of Odessa’s platform aims to streamline operations, enhance user experience, and support data-driven decision-making.

“Odessa’s configurable platform enables us to better serve all our stakeholders with greater efficiency,” said Ralph Crockett, Chief Operating Officer at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions.

“We’re excited to continue our collaboration with Odessa as we expand the rollout to additional European countries.”

Following the successful deployment in Italy, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions plans to extend the Odessa platform to six additional markets: France, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

The implementation leverages Odessa’s modular architecture, focusing initially on three key components – assets, quotation, and the financial calculation engine – to deliver a more agile and scalable infrastructure.

“Our current focus is on three key Odessa modules,” said Pascal Crocq, Programme Manager overseeing the rollout. “It’s been a pleasure working with a flexible platform and a knowledgeable team that adapts to our evolving needs.”

Joe Juliano, CEO of Odessa, also highlighted the strategic nature of the collaboration:

“We’re proud to support BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions in delivering a superior user experience for its extensive partner network. This is the beginning of a long-term partnership, and we look forward to contributing to their continued growth and success.”
