[Overview of the collaboration]

On October 27, 2021, Broadleaf and Toyota Finance have started a collaboration to provide financial services mainly to companies in the mobility industry, including Broadleaf’s primary client base such as auto maintenance shops and auto body shops.

As the first step of the collaboration, a one-stop loan linkage function that enables clients to offer loans through Toyota Finance (application, approval, and closing), will be implemented in “Maintenance.c,” a cloud service for auto maintenance shops and “Repair.c,” a cloud service for auto body shops. Broadleaf developed and will be providing “Maintenance.c” and “Repair.c.” with Toyota Finance offering new loan products called “Mμ-way” and “Mμ-plan.”

This is the first time for Toyota Finance to provide financial services to companies outside the Toyota Group. Through this initiative, it will strengthen the contact points with all customers using Toyota cars.

Broadleaf will start offering the auto finance platforms through this collaboration. It will also aim to diversify its platform-based services by using its operating infrastructure for cloud services called “Broadleaf Cloud Platform,” as a starting point.
