Some of our international clients use systems for a particular functionality located at their headquarters abroad. In these cases AS system uses interfaces to handle data transfer.

Our Light version is a collection of best practices and know-how, including the most common functionalities of the core AS package as a "starting kit" for leasing firms handling up to 5000 contracts. This is a continuously updated product - an ideal solution for greenfield, small and medium sized financial institutions.

AS Fleet management module is ideal for fleet management in vehicle financing (fleet management, insurance-, damage management, road service; replacement car, tire management).

The main objective of the AS RoadRunner web/based proposal-giving system is to provide administrative and technical support to financial institutions in preparing proposals to clients. The Road Runner is an ideal tool for providing 'external proposals' to clients. This means, that dealers or subsidiaries can give proposals to clients without having a direct access to the AS Core system. The Road Runner module is fully customizable to the demands of the clients, but at the same time has a strict, pre defined set of orders and conditions. In order to conduct a valid and a successful deal, the application grants the preparation and registration of the required, compulsory documents, registers data, stores documents electronically, provides the possibility of an initial rating as well as sends the relevant information about the client, the deal and the object into the AS Core system in a standardized and secure way.

The continuous data flow and communication between the RoadRunner and other AS components is implemented by the integration mechanism with the AS Core system. In reality this means that RoadRunner provides actual exchange rate and base rate information to the subsidiaries as well as a constant communication with the AS Core module on a partner and on portfolio level too.

During the implementation we paid special attention to the safety and the user-friendly surfaces. The solution supports the multilingual display, but the base language is the English. The users of the application have an access to the proper functions through their rights according to their roles, and the data and lists are displayed according to it.

There are three different types of offer can be prepared by AS RoadRunner:

1. Offer matrix
2. Anonymous offer with concrete principal - interest breakdown
3. Complete offer
• with the partners' data,
• with leased subject data,
• with product, deal features,
• calculation and with the relating cash-flow elements,
• with related collaterals,
• with insurance,
• with electronically stored client ID documents required for credit assessment (scanned documents).

The purpose of the AS LeasePoint system is to provide a tool to the leasing companies which is on one hand secure and easy-to-use, and on the other hand frees up company resources in an effective way.

The main concept of the system was to create an add-on module to the existing system. This is a special, scalable sub-system that can be further developed based on individual customer requirements. The system - as expected from any system used by financial institutions - meets the security requirements with its own authorization and scalable user privileges and logging of user activities.

Operation, procedures, opportunities

Actually the AnaLease system is the data mart of the lease sector. The data are transferred from the AS system (or even other third party systems) and are transformed into a format which can be processed easily. It ensures the continuous update of information and recording every major event. This procedure ensures that the actual information should be loaded into the data mart every night. The data mart contains index figures which are previously defined and calculated by a parameterized logic of each dimensions. The parameterization is performed by the users, so for example it is possible to aggregate the types of cash-flows, create categories (down payment, financed value, etc) by their own criteria. It can be further refined by using the chosen BI tools, even without involving the supplier.

This product has been tested under Windows 7 environment
