About Us
Procentia is an award-winning software and technology company specialising in the Pensions and Bulk Purchase Annuities market. We design intelligent solutions that put administrators and members at the heart of any pension scheme.

Established in 2002, we're renowned for our web-based pensions administration and management system, IntelliPen. Our platform helps clients meet the demand for self-serve technology and provide meaningful consumer-like experiences expected from online platforms.

Trusted by administrators, employers and trustees, our software is widely regarded as the most comprehensive and feature-rich platform for modern pensions management.

IntelliPen comprises a suite of integrated modular systems that streamline processes from new member registration to online self-serve retirement, and enables collaboration on the same workflows. It delivers up to 90% time and cost efficiencies by automating member retirements, validation, benefit calculations, reporting and pensioner payroll.

With offices in the UK and North America, we support some of the largest pension schemes and plans across the private and public sectors.

We've been named 'Pension Technology Firm of the Year 2024' at the Pensions Age Awards, and voted 'No.1 UK Pension Administration Software Provider' in 2022 and 2023.
