Bell Bank Equipment Finance moved operations onto the LTi ASPIRE platform in one of the fastest implementation projects that LTi Technology Solutions has executed.

Bell needed a configurable system with an end-to-end solution that would scale with the expected growth of their business and modules that would integrate with many of their processes.

Bell chose LTi because of its flexibility in creating a solution that satisfies both the operating needs of its business and its reputation for customer service within the industry. ASPIRE’s open platform also offered the independently-owned bank opportunities to automate many of their day-to-day activities.

LTi’s implementation team managed to get Bell Bank Equipment Finance onto the platform in just five short months.

Eric Zehr, Bell Bank Equipment Finance president, said, “We chose LTi because of their years of experience in the industry as well as their commitment to implement a robust system in short order. We required a platform that would create efficiencies and mitigate overhead expenses. We found that solution in ASPIRE, and it’s a system that we can grow with into the future.”

“Bringing on Bell Bank Equipment Finance was an all-around success for our team,” said Bryan Hunt, LTi senior vice president and CRO. “They needed an end-to-end solution that would support rapid growth while keeping their costs low. We were able to get the job done.”

The largest independently owned bank in the Upper Midwest, Bell Bank has business across 50 states with more than $5 billion in assets.
