Dan Levin, President of Liventus, shared: “We’re excited to work alongside Merchants Bank Equipment Finance on this important transformation. Our goal is to align the right technologies with their business goals while reducing operational friction and improving scalability.”

Dave Schlauderaff, President of Merchants Bank Equipment Finance, added: “As our platform continues to grow, it's critical that our systems and processes keep pace. Partnering with Liventus and Consult Disrupt gives us the right mix of technical depth and industry perspective to make informed decisions for the future.”

Jesse Johnson, President of Consult Disrupt, commented: “This is the kind of initiative we thrive on. Merchants Bank has a clear vision, and our role is to help them cut through the noise, evaluate their options and build a roadmap that supports smarter growth.”

The project will begin with a deep discovery phase, followed by technology vendor analysis, contract reviews, and support through any potential RFP and selection process. This initiative reflects a growing trend in the equipment finance industry as firms reevaluate aging systems and seek scalable, future-ready platforms.
