NetSol Technologies, Inc. (NETSOL) delivers state-of-the-art solutions for the asset finance and leasing industry, serves automotive and equipment OEMs and financial institutions across over 30 countries.
NETSOL has been at the cutting edge of technology, pioneering innovations with its asset finance solutions and leveraging advanced AI and cloud services to meet the complex needs of the global market.
NETSOL’s primary sources of revenues have been licensing, subscriptions, modifications, enhancements, and support of its suite of financial applications to leading businesses in the global finance and leasing space.
NETSOL’s clients include blue-chip organizations, Dow-Jones 30 Industrials, Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, global vehicle manufacturers through their captive finance companies (‘auto captives’), unrelated automotive finance companies (‘non-captives’), equipment finance and leasing companies, and banks—all of which are serviced by NETSOL’s strategically placed support and delivery locations around the globe.
NETSOL follows a global strategy for sales and delivery of its portfolio of solutions and services through its offices in the following locations: North America (Encino, California, and Austin, Texas); Europe (London and Horsham); Asia Pacific (Sydney, Bangkok, Beijing, Tianjin, Jakarta, Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi); and Middle East (Dubai).
NETSOL specializes in providing scalable and customizable technology solutions primarily to the global asset finance and leasing industry.
The company also provides a range of services that are not limited to the financial services industry. The company reaches its customers through a combination of direct sales efforts, strategic partnerships with associations, as well as via a robust online presence.
The company generates its core revenue from the following primary sources: software licenses, services—which include implementation and consulting services—and subscription and support, which includes post-contract support, of its enterprise software solutions for the finance and leasing industry. The company offers its solutions using the same underlying technology via two models: a traditional on-premises licensing model and a subscription model.
The on-premises model involves the sale or license of software on a perpetual basis to customers who take possession of the software and install and maintain the software on their own hardware. Under the subscription delivery model, the company provides access to its software on a hosted basis as a service, and customers generally do not have the contractual right to take possession of the software or solution(s).
Expertise
The company’s expertise in enterprise technology and financial application development has helped it emerge as a global player in the finance and leasing industry and enabled it to secure a broad footprint across the major markets of North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Asia Pacific region has particularly benefitted from the organic growth in the fast-developing leasing automation industry, which is still nascent, as per Western standards.
Proximity with Global and Regional Customers
The company has offices across the world, located strategically to maintain close contact and proximity with its customers in various key markets. This has not only helped it strengthen its customer relationships, but also build a deeper understanding of local market dynamics. Simultaneously, the company is able to extend services and support development through a combination of onsite and offsite resources. This approach has allowed the company to offer blended rates to its customers by employing a unique and cost-effective global development model.
While the company’s business model is built around the development, implementation, and maintenance of its suite of financial applications, it employs the same facilities and competencies to extend its services to related segments, including but not limited to: IT Consulting and Services; Solutions Development and Implementation; Business Intelligence; Cloud Solutions; Outsourcing Services and Software Process Improvement Consulting; Maintenance and Support of Existing Systems; Project Management; Information Security; AI/ML; and Data Engineering.
The company’s global operations are broken down into three primary regions: North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. All of the subsidiaries are seamlessly integrated to function effectively with global delivery capabilities, cross-selling to multinational asset finance companies, leveraging the centralized marketing and pre-sales organization, and a network of employees connected across the globe to support local and global customers and partners.
