Lendscape and JDR Solutions partner on AI equipment finance tech in US

A new strategic partnership between Lendscape and JDR Solutions is set to modernise the US equipment finance landscape, giving lenders access to advanced, AI-enabled technology designed to replace outdated legacy systems.

Announced this week, the collaboration will provide JDR’s nationwide customer base, including banks, captive finance firms, and independent equipment finance providers, with access to Lendscape’s scalable portfolio servicing platform. The move signals a growing push within the industry to adopt more flexible, data-driven systems capable of meeting evolving operational demands.

While Lendscape operates across multiple commercial finance sectors, including asset-based lending and receivables finance, this partnership will focus specifically on equipment finance, a segment both companies see as ripe for technological transformation.

At the core of the initiative is Lendscape’s API-first platform, which allows providers to integrate new capabilities without overhauling existing systems. The architecture is designed to support artificial intelligence tools, automate processes, and scale alongside business growth. JDR Solutions will complement this with its operational expertise, ensuring implementations deliver measurable improvements in efficiency and portfolio management.

“Equipment finance providers are facing real operational challenges, and many are being held back by technology that was never built to meet the demands of a modern, competitive market,” said Brett Promisel, CEO of Lendscape.

“That creates a genuine opportunity – but technology alone doesn’t capture it. You need partners who understand this market from the inside. JDR Solutions is exactly that kind of partner, and we’re looking forward to working alongside them.”

Joey Enevoldsen, CEO of JDR Solutions, emphasized the company’s long-standing client-first approach. “When we find technology and innovation that genuinely raises the bar for what equipment finance providers can achieve, we want to make sure they can access it. This partnership with Lendscape does exactly that, and we can’t wait to see it transform what’s possible for our clients.”

The timing is critical, according to Steve Taplin, Chief Product Officer at Lendscape, who notes that:

“The US equipment finance industry is at an inflection point. The technology gap between what most providers are working with today and what’s genuinely possible is significant – and it’s widening.”

“Closing that gap takes more than great software,” he said. “It takes partners who know how lenders actually operate. JDR is exactly that kind of partner, and we’re looking forward to what we’ll build together.”
