Case Study: Toshiba America Business Solutions & Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions achieve efficient, compliant global lease management with Visual Lease

How two of Toshiba’s biggest operating companies have managed their global lease portfolio with minimal resources

Toshiba faced a complex, global lease portfolio of real estate, equipment and vehicles—more than 1,500 leases—spread across disparate systems and managed with minimal staff while needing to meet ASC 842 compliance. Toshiba selected Visual Lease’s lease management platform for a user-friendly, centralized system that a single administrator could implement and regional finance teams could access.

Using Visual Lease, Toshiba centralized lease data (about 150 real estate and 1,400 equipment/vehicle leases), stored contract PDFs, tracked critical dates, and standardized lease abstraction with an internal playbook. The Visual Lease deployment increased company-wide transparency and cross‑department collaboration, simplified onboarding, supported audit and ASC 842 requirements, and allowed Toshiba’s small team to efficiently manage a growing portfolio of 1,500+ leases.
