About Georgian Leasing Company
Georgian Leasing Company (GLC) was established by JSC “Tbiluniversalbank” in 2001, and was the first leasing company in Georgia, which offered clients leasing services as an alternative way of financing. In 2005 GLC became an affiliate company of JSC ”Bank of Georgia”.

Business Challenge
After establishment, the company was continuously growing and faced issues with scattered business information:
- Centralized customer database did not exist. This made sales decisions harder and slower, because customer historical data were difficult to find and evaluate.
- Contracts, schedules and amendments had been prepared manually, followed-up via emails; documents versions were not monitored in a correct way.
Company management indicated the possible risk that different departments can operate with different information: sales department with their own versions of contracts and schedules, and financial department with different ones.
Increased amount of contracts required more work forces at financial department and increased the risk of human mistakes.
Therefore, decision was taken: search for relevant ERP solution, which could help to eliminate indicated risks and manage growing business more efficiently.
