OMAHA, Neb., (September 9, 2016) LeaseTeam, the trusted leader in lease and loan management solutions for the equipment finance industry, is pleased to announce that Key Equipment Finance, one of the nation’s largest bank-held equipment finance companies, has selected ASPIRE as its end-to-end lease and loan management solution.
“We are excited and confident in our selection of ASPIRE. ASPIRE allows us to move from our disparate systems to a single end-to-end solution, that seamlessly integrates with our vendors and partners. Working from a single system will add transparency, efficiency, analysis, and security into our operations. It’s also worth noting we evaluated the technology provider as much as the technology itself. It’s important to us that we partner with a company that has a solid reputation for building customer relationships, and is as serious about providing the best products and solutions to their clients as we are to ours,” said Adam D. Warner, president of Key Equipment Finance. “We believe we have the right product and the right technology partner to support our current initiatives and future goals.”
“Key Equipment Finance, a leader in the equipment finance industry, is noted for their tremendous success and sustainable growth. We are honored they selected LeaseTeam and ASPIRE to help them build upon this success. Our technology solutions, our company, and our product roadmap align very well with Key’s strategic goals. We look forward to helping them achieve these goals and set new ones,” said Jeff Van Slyke LeaseTeam president.
