Maneuver initiates first phase of broader digital transformation across key European markets 

(Paris, 3 September 2025) – BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, a leading provider of business equipment financing in Europe, has successfully partnered with Odessa to implement a digital originations platform in Italy, initiating the first phase of a broader digital transformation across key European markets.

A subsidiary of BNP Paribas, the company partners with leading equipment manufacturers and their distribution networks in key sectors to offer leasing and rental solutions tailored to business needs.

“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.”

Building on the success in Italy, BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and Odessa are preparing to extend the platform to six more countries: France, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

This implementation of Odessa’s components in a larger modular approach marks a key milestone in BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions’ digital modernisation program. The asset-centric design of the Odessa platform supports the company’s ability to meet complex partner requirements, enhance user experience, and improve data-driven decision-making while relying on BNP Paribas’ private cloud infrastructure and stringent standards.

Pascal Crocq, Programme Manager, led the day-to-day implementation efforts. “Our current focus is on three key Odessa modules: Assets, Quotation, and the Financial Calculation Engine,” said Pascal. “It’s been a pleasure working with a flexible platform and a knowledgeable team that adapts to our evolving needs.”

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