Light commercial vehicles · Applied AI

The working van,
rebuilt around AI.

SANA AI brings together Convlease, Convsupply and Convbuild — three platforms that turn leasing, supply and conversion into one intelligent pipeline, so a commercial vehicle reaches work faster and earns from day one.

The problem

A van isn't finished when it leaves the factory.

Before it can earn, a commercial vehicle has to be financed or leased, fitted with racking, lining, refrigeration, signage and certification, then handed to an operator on a date they can plan around. Today each of those steps sits with a different company, on a different system, joined together by email.

The result is weeks of avoidable delay across millions of working vehicles — and every one of those days is paid for by somebody.

Disconnected handovers

Funder, supplier and converter each work in their own system. Every handover is re-keyed by hand, and every re-key is a delay.

Dead time in the yard

Vehicles sit waiting on a part, a slot or a signature. Dead days are invisible in the accounts but expensive in the business.

No single view of cost

Finance, kit and conversion are priced separately, so the real cost of a working van is only known long after it is on the road.

Promises that slip

Delivery dates are estimates dressed as commitments. The operator plans work around a van that is not coming.

The platforms

Three platforms. One vehicle journey.

Each product is strong on its own and decisive together — lease, supply and build sharing one live record of every vehicle under SANA AI.

Leasing & fleet contracts

Van leasing still runs on spreadsheets, PDFs and phone calls. Quotes take days, contract terms sit buried in email, and nobody sees the true cost of a vehicle until it comes back off contract.

Convlease turns leasing into a live, intelligent record. AI pricing quotes in minutes, models residual risk, tracks whole-life cost per vehicle and forecasts renewals and defleets before they land on you.

Parts, racking & equipment

A van waiting on one racking kit or body part earns nothing. Supply is fragmented across hundreds of small suppliers with no shared view of stock, price or lead time.

Convsupply connects the supplier network behind the sector. It predicts what every build and every fleet will need, sources the stock, and keeps lead times honest so vehicles are not idling in a yard.

Conversion & upfit delivery

Conversion is where deadlines die. Racking, ply-lining, refrigeration, signage and certification sit with different workshops, and one slipped slot pushes the customer back by weeks.

Convbuild runs the conversion programme. It plans workshop capacity, sequences every stage of the build, detects slippage before it happens and holds handover dates you can actually promise.

AI technology

The world we are entering runs on prediction, not paperwork.

Every lease, every part and every build stage generates data that has never been joined up. SANA AI joins it. Our models learn from the real flow of vehicles through funders, suppliers and workshops, and put that intelligence back into the decision as it is being made.

Predictive scheduling

Capacity, parts and slots modelled ahead of time so delays surface weeks early.

Intelligent pricing

Lease, kit and conversion priced from live market and build data, not last year's rate card.

Document intelligence

Contracts, specs and certificates read automatically and turned into structured records.

One shared model

A single data model across all three platforms — no re-keying, no version of the truth.

The company

One owner for the whole vehicle journey.

SANA AI exists because the light commercial vehicle sector was never designed — it accumulated. We hold Convlease, Convsupply and Convbuild under one company so the handovers between them are engineered, not negotiated.

Fewer off-road days: Vehicles move through finance, supply and build without waiting on the next email.
Handover dates that hold: Dates come from real capacity and real lead times, so operators can plan work.
True cost per vehicle: Finance, kit and conversion in one number, from order to defleet.
Built for the trade: Designed with funders, suppliers and converters who run these vehicles every day.
