What kind of leasing operations are done by Komatsu Finance?

We provide finance for Komatsu earthmoving equipment in Australia and New Zealand.

The finance products we offer are: finance lease, operating lease, hire purchase, and chattel mortgages in Australia, and operating lease and hire purchase in New Zealand.

What was the reason for choosing new software to handle leasing operations?

The search for a new leasing system was precipitated by our previous vendor’s decision that the front and back-office leasing software packages that we were using were not part of their “go to market” product offering going forward and that, in time, the vendor was going to curtails support for the software products we were using.

What influenced your decision to choose SOFT4Leasing?

  • Value for money
  • Responsiveness
  • Level of engagement
  • Single database and ability to integrate with Business Central for accounting.

What about SOFT4Leasing do you like best? What business goals has it helped you achieve?

SOFT4Leasing, integrated with Business Central, offered a single platform to manage our business. The developers at SOFT4 built nearly everything we specified. Our users have found the system easy to use.

What results were achieved after the implementation?

The system went live on schedule and within the allocated budget. There was no interruption to our customers or business, and the data migration was reconciled error-free.

The acceptance of the new system by our internal users has been enthusiastic and quicker and smoother than we expected.


Wild Tech continues to provide ongoing support to ensure Komatsu Finance operates efficiently on this integrated platform, eliminating the need for manual interfacing between systems at month-end.
