Workflow leasing / LLD: why automation has become indispensable?

‍

In a context of accelerated digital transformation, the leasing and long-term rental sector can no longer afford to ignore automation. Manual processes, which are still too widespread, hamper productivity, increase the risk of errors, and complicate customer relations. The Leas@ solution developed by anylease embodies this new generation of business software, designed to automate and optimize the entire leasing workflow.

Risks of a non-automated leasing workflow

In the leasing and long-term rental sector, operational performance depends directly on efficient workflows. Yet many companies still operate with manual or semi-digitized processes. These methods are often inherited, heterogeneous, and above all... a source of numerous problems.

Here are the main risks identified when a leasing workflow is not automated:

‍

1. 🌪️ More human errors

Manual entry of contractual data, deadlines or conditions specific to the assets financed multiplies the risk of critical errors: invoicing errors, duplicates, misallocations, delays in commissioning... All incidents that can affect customer satisfaction and financial performance.

‍

2. ⏱️ Longer processing times

Each stage of the contract - creation, validation, signature, management, renewal or termination - mobilizes several departments and tools. Without automation, follow-up is tedious, reminders time-consuming, and lead times unnecessarily long.

‍

3. 🔒 Lack of traceability and control

A manual workflow makes it difficult to trace actions taken and identify responsibilities in the event of an anomaly. This weakens compliance with regulations (e.g. RGPD, LCB-FT, IFRS 16) and complicates the response to internal or external audits.

‍

4. 🚧 Team compartmentalization

Non-connected tools and non-standardized processes create information silos. The result: a fragmented view of the fleet financed, and recurring tensions between sales, marketing, finance, IT and legal teams.

‍

5. 💸 Loss of productivity and competitiveness

A non-automated leasing workflow slows down sales cycles, increases administrative costs and hampers business agility. In a market where speed and precision have become major competitive advantages, this represents a real loss of earnings.

‍

👉 According to a McKinsey study, automating administrative processes can deliver up to 30% productivity gains in finance and contracts functions.

‍

Which processes should be automated first?

Automating doesn't mean transforming everything in one click - but it is essential to target the most critical, costly or friction-intensive steps to unlock maximum value quickly.

Here are the main automation levers to prioritize in a high-performance leasing workflow:

‍

1. 📝 Contract creation

Direct integration of quotations, commercial agreements or vehicle/equipment configurations into a contract generation module eliminates double data entry and reformatting errors. Pre-configured contract templates by asset type, financier or customer reduce drafting time from days to minutes.

‍

2. 📅 Monitoring deadlines

Commissioning dates, rental due dates, renewal or termination dates, end-of-contract alerts... All these stages can be automatically controlled via intelligent alerts, scheduled reminders or integrated validation workflows. This helps avoid oversights and better anticipate key events.

‍

3. 🔄 Managing contractual changes

Whether it's a transfer, an extension, a tariff amendment or a change of use, updating information can run smoothly if processes are standardized and controlled by automated management rules. This greatly reduces the risk of oversight or non-compliance.

‍

4. 🧾 Billing and reconciliation

Automation enables recurring, one-off or prorated invoices to be generated from contract data. It also facilitates their dispatch, accounting integration and reconciliation with payments or direct debits. A real time-saver for finance and sales teams.

‍

5. 📊 Reporting and contractual performance

Automatically updated dynamic dashboards provide a real-time view of all contracts, their status, asset profitability or volumes by customer segment. Essential indicators for steering your business... without having to compile 10 Excel files by hand.

‍

👉 By prioritizing these axes of automation, leasing players gain in reliability, productivity and the ability to scale their business without complexifying their internal processes.
