LendPro and CiaraAI Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Furniture Retail Financing and Customer Engagement
Charlottesville, VA - June 6, 2025 - LendPro, the leading consumer finance platform for retail, and CiaraAI, the industry’s first enterprise AI operating system purpose-built for furniture retailers, today announced a strategic partnership aimed at transforming the customer experience and increasing financing conversions across the furniture industry.
Through this integration, CiaraAI’s 24/7 AI-powered platform now features embedded LendPro financing, offering real-time pre-qualification and payment options during every customer interaction — from product inquiries and design consultations to delivery scheduling and return coordination.
“Together, LendPro and CiaraAI are addressing one of the biggest revenue leaks in retail: the failure to explain financing,” said Matt Dishman, CEO of LendPro. “By embedding our multi-lender waterfall platform into CiaraAI’s intelligent conversations, we’re meeting customers with the right financing options at exactly the right time — no matter the hour, no matter the channel.”
The results are already reshaping the industry:
- 60–80% increase in financing applications via CiaraAI-powered conversations
- 40–50% boost in sales conversion rates through more accessible payment plans
- Up to $500,000 in annual savings from automated customer handling
“Our AI agents represent the future of furniture retail," said Chaitanya Laxman, CEO and Founder of CiaraAI. "We built the first AI system that truly understands furniture terminology, delivery logistics, and now - thanks to this LendPro partnership - intelligent financing conversations. This isn't just automation; it's revenue transformation."
David Bregler, President, US Operations for CiaraAI, added, "Retailers using CiaraAI with LendPro aren't just saving time; they're unlocking entirely new revenue streams. We're seeing stores increase their monthly revenue by $20K-50K through better financing conversations alone."
This partnership further solidifies both companies’ commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology solutions that drive measurable ROI. With LendPro’s secure, compliant multi-lender platform and CiaraAI’s enterprise-grade conversational automation, furniture retailers now have a powerful new way to convert customer interest into completed sales — at any time of day.
LendPro and CiaraAI are now actively rolling out the joint solution nationwide, with full deployment available in under 7 days.
