Vehicle leasing is currently burgeoning and the number of cars leased on the global car aftersales market every year has grown from 8 million in 2019 to 12 million in 2021. The market is expected to continue to grow, as consumers look for more affordable and flexible options when paying for a new car. And this presents a huge opportunity for IoT and telematic service providers.

Car financing is a notoriously capital-intensive sector where cash flow and timely payments are critical to ensure businesses survive. Interruptions to cash flow from payment delays and defaults, vehicle security issues, and inability to track financed assets thoroughly can ruin whole businesses, which is why the car leasing sector is looking to technology to provide solutions. This presents a huge opportunity for IoT and telematic service providers, because they have the technology to provide the reassurance assets can be tracked in real time and recovered when customers default on repayments. Telematics becomes an essential tool for the vehicle leasing market, enabling operational efficiency and significant cost savings in dealing with missed payments or vehicle theft.

Streamlined telematics, customised for the real needs of the vehicle leasing sector

Historically, the cost of implementing a telematics solution was prohibitive for the vehicle leasing market, since the solutions were designed for much more complex networks and included functionalities not required for basic tracking.

But now fleet tracking and management software experts are launching solutions that are designed for the specific needs of the car leasing sector: Wialon, the largest global telematics and IoT platform, which connects over 3.4 million vehicles and assets worldwide, has launched a new solution, streamlined to solve their specific challenges.

LeaseControl is a GPS tracking platform tackling the safety challenges and protecting the assets of the companies operating in car financing, auto loans, vehicle leasing, high-risk auto deals, and BHPH (Buy Here Pay Here) dealerships. LeaseControl is a stand-alone product by Wialon meaning that telematics service providers can become partners to the solution even if they use alternative GPS tracking systems.

Wialon’s new streamlined solution – LeaseControl – retains the most valuable features, such as GPS tracking, geo-fencing, remote operation, automatic notifications and high-quality 24/7 technical support. It provides the tools to tackle the most pressing challenges faced by fleet managers, namely non-payment, auto theft and vehicle recovery. Users pay for the functionality they need, without extra expenditure on unnecessary add-ons, so telematics now become a viable solution for the vehicle lease sector.

LeaseControl removes the stress from fleet tracking

Here are the main advantages of the LeaseControl solution that bring peace of mind to the car leasing sector:
