CHP Consulting, supplier of ALFA Systems and Societe Generale Equipment Finance (SGEF), recently named European Lessor and SME Champion of the Year, have announced the successful implementation of a web-based point-of-sale system in the UK.

Featuring a brand new look and feel and incorporating channel-specific branding, SGEF Engage provides SGEF UK’s business partners with immediate access to transaction pricing and proposal management, simply and online.

James Paul, Client Relationship Director at CHP Consulting, said: “SGEF’s front end has been live for just over a year, successfully using ALFA’s workflow capabilities to manage proposals and conduct automated credit decisioning with Experian searches. Because Engage is an extension of SGEF’s existing ALFA platform, including its accounts payable functionality, SGEF benefits from a true end-to-end solution.”

Steve Symons, Operations Director at SGEF UK, said: “Through reliable self-service, our introducers enjoy immediate visibility of their proposals within SGEF, including those approved automatically, and can generate all required documentation, free from error, and send their own documentation to SGEF without the need for fax or email. We’re delighted with the efficiencies this system has given us and our customers, and we’ve had great feedback from our introducers.”

The implementation went live in January 2012. SGEF UK finances a range of assets such as medical equipment, printers, farm and industrial equipment, software and computer kit, working closely with vendors and other introducers.
