TietoEnator supplies total solution for customer finance to Scania Finans
TietoEnator supplies total solution for customer finance to Scania Finans TietoEnator-owned Entra has started co-operation with Scania Finans. The aim is to simplify the administration of approximately 11 000 finance contracts that Scania Finans handles in the Nordic market. The co- operation means that TietoEnator shall develop an Internet-based sales support and credit application handling system, as well as further develop Scania Finans' existing finance systems. The solution simplifies the finance process for Scania's approximately one hundred retailers in the Nordic countries. - The finance question is an important part of the sales work since the purchase of lorries means a big investment for our customers. We chose TietoEnator as co-operation partner because they have the competence and staying power required so that we, in the future, shall be able to achieve commercial success by means of efficient administration of customer contracts and well-functioning sales tools, says Leif Christensson, MD of Scania Finans. Scania Finans has been active for more than 50 years and is, as such, one of Sweden's oldest finance companies. Of Scania's Nordic customers, nearly a half choose to finance their purchases through Scania Finans, and this makes the finance company an important competition factor for Scania's sales organisation. - Scania Finans is target-oriented in its work, continually developing and improving its finance offers. This is the beginning of a long-term co-operation in which we will continually sharpen Scania Finans' effectiveness by means of well-functioning system support and assist the company with our competence within financial IT services, says Martin Sjöberg, MD of Entra. Among other things, the co-operation means that TietoEnator will update and improve the capacity in Scania Finans' existing finance systems. The new solution quickens the tender work and credit controls as well as facilitates the communication between Scania Finans and the retailer network.
