Taking Flight: Kayan Selects Leasepoint to Power Its Next Growth Phase

January 2025 – Dublin, Ireland

Leasepoint, a specialist in aircraft leasing and asset management solutions, today announced that Kayan, a rapidly growing aircraft lessor, has selected its SaaS platform to manage its global asset portfolio. This strategic partnership was driven by the retirement of Kayan’s previous vendor system, prompting an accelerated technology reassessment. What began as an urgent requirement has since evolved into a broader transformation opportunity.

After a comprehensive evaluation of leading market platforms, Kayan chose Leasepoint for its mature functionality, advanced automation, ongoing product evolution, and proven track record of seamless migrations.

“We weren’t actively looking to change systems, but when the opportunity arose, we saw it as a catalyst to reimagine how we work. Leasepoint stood out for its application depth, responsiveness, and ability to deliver immediate value. This is not just a system switch – it is a transformation of how we operate,” said Mark Hadfield, Head of Technical & Asset Management at Kayan.

Vendor Selection Led by Industry Veteran

Mark Hadfield, who has more than 35 years of aviation experience, led Kayan through a structured vendor evaluation. Having worked with multiple major systems in the aircraft leasing sector, he leveraged unique insights to guide the process.

Mark continued, “I’ve had firsthand experience with many of the key platforms. Together, our team evaluated system capabilities and current clients and tracked their evolution. Leasepoint stood out not only for its maturity but also for its momentum. It is active in developing and automating the areas we care about most.”

Why Leasepoint?

  • Mature application: Functionality-rich and tailored for aircraft lessors
  • Workflow automation: Enables scaling without additional cost
  • Configurability: Adaptable to Kayan’s growth strategy
  •  Speed to deployment: Essential to meeting deadlines set by the previous vendor transition
  •  Unified reporting and dashboards: Delivering clear, real-time insights to stakeholders

Implementation Success

Implementation began in June 2025 and was completed prior to the October cutover date. Teams from both organisations collaborated closely to ensure a seamless migration.

“We are delighted to be working with Leasepoint on this exciting journey. Their team’s engagement has been exceptional, and the platform is already proving its value in our operations. We look forward to what is next,” said Mark.

Mark concluded “We’re currently only scratching the surface of what Leasepoint offers. Our onboarding experience has been excellent, and I am excited to see how the platform will support our continued growth.”

Rachel Wesson, Managing Director at Leasepoint, added:

“Partnering with a forward-thinking company like Kayan is incredibly rewarding. We’ve been impressed by their vision and responsiveness, and we’re proud to be supporting their rapid growth and digital transformation.”
