Growth With Discipline | Solifi, PNC Vendor Finance & Capgemini
Equipment finance enters 2026 still growing, but not relaxing. In this on-demand webinar, Solifi partnered with Equipment Finance Advisor to bring together industry leaders from PNC Vendor Finance and Capgemini to unpack the trends reshaping the market this year, from underwriting and portfolio operations on the front line to a global view of transformation across leasing and specialty finance.
Moderated by Michael Toglia, Publisher of Equipment Finance Advisor, the panel explores why demand remains healthy even as bankruptcy filings rise and credit stress becomes more visible, why private credit is reshaping capital structures and operating models, and why asset classes such as trucking, construction, energy and aviation are diverging enough that broad market averages no longer tell the full story. The panel also discusses how automation is shifting from a productivity story to a control story, helping lenders strengthen compliance, audit readiness and exception handling as they grow.
Across the conversation, one theme recurs: the lenders that win in 2026 will not simply be the ones that originate the most volume. They will be the ones that grow selectively, manage risk early, operate effectively across more complex capital structures, and pair better visibility with automation to grow with discipline rather than just speed.
