Articles

We’re delighted to share this feature from one of our Gold Sponsors, Finomnia, highlighting their place in the sector and the event, people behind it, and what makes it such a special occasion.

Take a look at their perspective below, and discover more about who they are, and why this sector matters.

 

 

 Finomnia: from data to decision, Agentic AI reshapes leasing

 

This year, we renew our commitment to one of the key events for the leasing industry. We do so as a Gold Partner of the 23rd edition of Leasing Life, but with a renewed identity.

For a long time, Finwave has been a reference point in the market. Today, that experience evolves into Finomnia — a new identity designed to respond even more comprehensively to the needs of the financial software world.

The result of a journey of growth and continuity, Finomnia positions itself as a partner capable of covering the entire credit lifecycle. By combining software, artificial intelligence, and data strategy, our platform represents a more solid and scalable integrated model, designed to support banks and financial institutions in today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.

Focusing specifically on leasing, it is a sector in good health, yet undergoing a deep transformation. Operators are required to manage increasingly large volumes of data, ensure higher levels of operational efficiency, and at the same time meet the expectations of clients who demand more flexible, faster, and more personalized services. At the same time, new business models are emerging — such as pay-per-use — which require continuous and dynamic knowledge of financed assets.

It therefore becomes essential to adopt tools that not only manage complexity, but anticipate it, transforming data into a strategic enabler to guide decision-making.

To meet these needs, Finomnia has strengthened its offering by making artificial intelligence a key enabler of innovation. In particular, the advent of Agentic AI marks a paradigm shift, introducing intelligent agents capable of operating autonomously, making decisions, planning actions, and coordinating with one another — making operations smoother and more effective.

This new “agentic” approach significantly enhances risk management, thanks to continuous monitoring of asset usage and residual value, and strengthens compliance through automated controls and dynamic updates of risk profiles. At the same time, it enables a more advanced approach to remarketing and helps prevent anomalies and delays through predictive data analysis.

Integration with IoT technologies further enriches the quality and timeliness of available information, providing an increasingly accurate view of asset conditions throughout their lifecycle. Within this context, our Forward KYA (Know Your Asset) approach extends traditional customer knowledge models to continuous and in-depth asset knowledge, enabling real-time performance monitoring, early identification of potential issues, and activation of strategies aligned with portfolio objectives.

Today, the leasing sector is called to take a step forward — moving from management to anticipation — and this is precisely the direction Finomnia is taking.

In this context, our participation in Leasing Life 2026 represents a valuable opportunity to share our vision and continue engaging with the market on the challenges ahead.

It is also an opportunity to showcase how our innovation is already translating into concrete and sustainable advantages for many operators.
