Leading embedded vendor financing platform for enterprise technology Capchase announced today the general availability of its Capchase Mila AI Agent. The new solution offers vendors a 24/7 AI-powered deal desk for vendor financing. Businesses can get financing proposals, buyer credit decisions and ready-to-sign agreements in seconds.
Vendors can reach out to Mila via email, Slack or the chat on finance.new. They can just send a quote to get the ball rolling.” And, Mila processes financing requests 24/7 so sales teams are not waiting on traditional banking hours to move deals forward.
Capchase’s Mila was built to facilitate financing operations for vendors selling enterprise technology. The AI agent handles the funding requests and replies with relevant information in the same conversation. So vendors can have financing conversations without going through multiple systems or waiting for manual replies.
How Mila Makes Vendor Financing Easy
The $1.3 trillion market for vendor and equipment financing is often based on traditional banking schedules for enterprise technology financing. But in business transactions decisions often have to be taken faster. Sales reps can spend days verifying a customer’s eligibility or crunching the numbers on monthly payments. Adjustments to deal terms can also trigger additional conversations between sales, credit and legal teams. Mila’s answer is to deliver immediate responses and to support finance throughout the day to counter these delays.
“Financing a deal should not take longer than selling it. Mila runs on the schedule of the deal, not the bank. She answers at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., and paperwork stops being the reason a sale slips into next quarter.”
Miguel Fernandez, CEO and co-founder at Capchase, talked about the importance of taking financing delays out of the sales process. Mila’s deal-driven, not bank-driven, he said. Businesses can get answers to financing questions and paperwork done without unnecessary delays.
Key Features of the Capchase Mila AI Agent
Mila allows vendor sales representatives to manage multiple financing activities via simple conversations. For example, reps can send a PDF quote and get a branded financing proposal back in seconds. The proposal may contain up to three payment options depending on the buyer’s available credit. Sales reps can also reverse-engineer a customer’s budget. They can ask Mila how to structure financing so that the monthly payment is below a certain dollar amount, such as $2,500.
The AI agent also makes it possible to create orders and links for buyer payments. Representatives can upload their company’s order forms and pull together complete financing agreements for legal review. Mila also provides real-time updates on the financing progress. Vendors can see whether customers opened payment links, added payment methods, or signed agreements. These updates help sales teams know where deals stand and what they should do next.
Automate Financing Operations with AI
Running a vendor financing program manually requires sales, credit and legal coordination. Teams need to process paperwork, answer queries and chase individual transactions. Therefore, these responsibilities can consume valuable time and resources. Much of this administrative work falls to Mila. This frees up deal desk teams to focus on structuring appropriate financing arrangements, instead of having to manage repetitive discussions. Furthermore, the AI agent also utilizes the particular requirements of each team (i.e., pricing structures, approval criteria).
The best part is vendors don’t have to install anything extra or be trained for a long time. Existing deal desk teams can get started by sending their next quote to Mila. Those sales reps who are already using email can easily adopt the same approach. If a transaction needs human assistance, Mila forwards the conversation and the relevant context. This maintains continuity and prevents representatives having to repeat information.
“We’ve seen the benefits of working with Capchase and Mila,” said John McAvoy, VP, Sales at Barracuda. He appreciated their quick responses and reliable support on email and Slack. The capabilities, McAvoy said, help sales reps keep the momentum going with prospects and close opportunities more effectively.
Capchase Expands Its AI Financing Infrastructure
Mila builds on Capchase’s existing AI underwriting infrastructure, which makes decisions on more than 90% of financing applications in under one minute. Earlier this year, Capchase also introduced its Agentic Lending Coordinator. That solution reduced a financing workflow from approximately eight hours to around 60 seconds. Since entering beta this summer, Mila has handled more than 75% of financing actions managed by Capchase’s deal desk. Additionally, vendors such as Verkada and Barracuda now use Mila to manage financing through Slack.
These developments are another testament to how Capchase is integrating AI into financing operations. The company is looking to automate routine tasks, helping vendors cut down on administrative work and speed up processing of transactions. “We have already processed nearly $2 billion of deals through our portal,” said Guli Moreno, co-founder of Capchase. But the platform still required users to conduct manual, repetitive tasks. Mila solves this problem because vendors can describe what they need as a conversation.
Availability of Mila for Capchase Vendors
Mila has been made available to all Capchase vendors free of charge. Users can reach the AI agent by email, Slack and finance.new. Finance can start the conversation with vendors.new or reach out to their Capchase account manager to add Mila to a slack channel. With this launch, Capchase aims to make vendor financing more accessible and efficient. The Capchase Mila AI Agent integrates automated credit decisions, financing offers and agreement creation in one conversational workflow.
This means vendors can answer customer financing requests quicker. They also are able to reduce manual coordination and keep enterprise technology sales on track. If your business is interested, learn more at capchase.com/resources-hub.
