Diagnostics
A structured read on where your origination, decisioning, contract lifecycle, and reporting stack stand against current operator benchmarks. Decision-grade output the leadership team can act on.

Innovia Systems
The leasing stack rebuilt around AI, not retrofitted onto it.
Fit for Digital. Fit for AI.
I help leasing, consumer finance, and fleet operators rebuild the core they have outgrown. Diagnostic to working platform in months, not years. The product roadmap and the advisory practice both come from nearly two decades inside European leasing operations.

The gap
Mid-tier operators are running on stacks they have outgrown.
Leasing companies, captives, IFNs, and fleet operators reach a point where the existing systems cannot keep up with new products, new channels, and new compliance demands. By the time the rebuild board paper gets approved, the next product cycle is already lost and the AI-native challengers have shipped twice. Innovia closes the gap as a specialist advisory practice with a working platform behind it, not a slide pack and a partner search.
The thesis
The UI layer is being commoditised. The core, the config, and the speed are not.
LLMs and workflow orchestration are eating the front end of every enterprise application. What stays defensible is the auditable, deterministic core, the domain configuration each partner builds on top of it, and the speed at which both can move together. Innovia is structured around that thesis from day one. The first whitepaper expands on where the moat actually moves in lending. See Whitepapers.
What I do
Diagnostics, redesign, prototype, implementation.
Innovia operates as a specialist consultancy with technology delivery built in. The four engagement types stack: most partners start with a diagnostic and move through redesign into prototype deployment and implementation support.
Operating-model redesign
Target operating model for the segments you serve: org, process, data, technology. Sequenced to what the business can actually absorb.
4-8 weeks
Software prototyping
Working prototypes on the Innovia platform, configured to your data model and products. Ready for live testing within weeks.
6-12 weeks
Implementation support
From prototype to production: integration, data migration, change management, hypercare. I stay until the platform runs the business, not the other way around.
3-9 months
The platform behind the prototype
Five verticals, one engine.
Prototyping and implementation engagements run on the Innovia platform. Five modules share the same engine, data model, and workflow orchestrator. Asset Finance and Fleet are prototype-mature today. Working Capital, Consumer Credit, and Secured Microcredit are in active co-development with design partners for 2026-2027.
Production-grade
Asset Finance
Origination, scoring, contract lifecycle, billing, accounting. End-to-end for financial and operational lease, with cross-tenant group reporting.
Production-grade
Fleet
Vehicle and service management for captives and independent fleets. Telematics-ready, with cost-per-km and residual value analytics.
In co-development
Working Capital
Corporate credit lines, drawdowns, interest runs, covenant tracking. Revolving, term, and uncommitted facilities, distinct from dealer floorplan.
In co-development
Consumer Credit
Point-of-sale and direct-to-consumer lending. Sub-15-minute decisioning, merchant integration, KYC and AML built in.
In co-development
Secured Microcredit
Pawn-style, partner-channel, and merchant-bundled lending. Collateral tracking, rapid disbursement, full-cycle compliance.
How the engagement is structured
Innovation Partnership.
Year one runs as a co-creation engagement. The partner gets a configured deployment, decision rights on their module roadmap, and the operator depth that comes from nearly two decades of running European leasing platforms.
Configured deployment
A working platform shaped to the partner's data model, products, and processes from day one.
Decision rights
The partner co-owns the module roadmap. What ships first, second, and third reflects their priorities.
Operator depth
Nearly two decades operating European leasing platforms. Engagements start from operator-grade domain context.
Concrete outcome
At the end of Year 1 you have a deployment running your products on your data, not a stack of slides and a vendor selection memo.
Track record
Built by an operator.
Nearly two decades operating European leasing platforms across automotive, equipment, and captive finance, in mid-tier and group settings. The work covered migrations, multi-country rollouts, credit-policy redesign, regulatory change, and the unglamorous month-end firefighting that turns a platform from theoretical to trusted. The product roadmap and the advisory practice both reflect what actually breaks in production.
