The contract with the SME specialist lender and asset finance provider involves the implementation of Netsol’s retail platform, including its Omni Point of Sale solution (Omni POS) and contract management system. Bedding down of the product is expected to take less than six months.

In June, Allica Bank said it was poised to unveil an asset finance division later in the year and appointed Richard Cameron to head it up. The company was granted a banking licence in September 2019 and is backed by Warwick Capital Partners.

Asad Ghauri, president of Netsol Technologies, Asia Pacific & group managing director of Netsol Technologies Europe, said: “We look forward to a strong, long-term partnership as its asset finance business rapidly develops and evolves. 

“We are now gaining momentum in our SaaS strategy with several back-to-back wins as our customers begin to realize the benefits from subscription pricing.
