From its headquarters in Rellingen near Hamburg, BRANDCONSULT offers its customers independent advice on company pension schemes, risk assessments for existing contracts and the complete digitalisation of HR and customer pension processes using its own software platform ‘EasyPension’.

BRANDCONSULT's holistic and independent occupational pension consulting, coupled with the digitalisation of all associated processes for HR departments and employees, is still unique today. The software platform is based on the more than 30 years of industry experience of founder Andreas Brand and currently manages more than 6,000 occupational pension contracts.

With NERA's support, we will make BRANDCONSULT's service available to even more employers, automate customer acquisition and also position the name ‘BRANDCONSULT’ and ‘EasyPension’ as the best option for employers who want to offer their employees an attractive, independent and digital occupational pension solution for HR and employees. NERA will also support us in the further development of the software platform.

says Andreas Brand, founder of BRANDCONSULT.

With the acquisition of BRANDCONSULT, NERA is tapping into the business services and software sectors at the same time.

says Peter Schaberger, founding partner of NERA Digital.

BRANDCONSULT's full-service approach, coupled with its proprietary software solution, not only serves the need of employees for a secure and independent recommendation for a company pension scheme, but also the immense desire for process digitisation in every HR department that still manages bAV processes manually.

We look forward to continuing BRANDCONSULT's already impressive growth and making its excellent software and consulting quality available to more companies.

says Dominik Lanz, founding partner of NERA Digital.
