Business Case 03 / Pensions Administration
Online filing cabinets for your members.
Give every member a filing cabinet with your branding. Documentd automatically files benefit statements, retirement documents and payment records for them. Make long-term access simpler, with fewer requests for historic documents.
Important pension records
Start with the documents members need to keep.
Pension records can matter throughout working life and retirement. File each statement, quotation and confirmation for the member, so the record is available when they next need to make a decision or check a past arrangement.
- Benefit statements
- Retirement option packs
- Transfer quotations
- Retirement confirmation documents
- Pension increase notices
- P60s and payment records
- Other important pension records
Your members should have their own copies, in an account they control.
An organised home for pension records
Give pension records a home beyond the annual mailing.
Statements and notices can arrive years apart, while a member’s contact details and circumstances change. An organised filing cabinet makes it easier to return to earlier documents without finding the original email or paper pack.
Documentd automatically files these documents in each member’s own cabinet, organised and ready to find. Your branding and dedicated web address give members a familiar place to return to for the records you send.
A branded service, independent access
Your branding. Your members’ own records.
Give members a branded filing cabinet with a simpler, lower-cost service than a document portal. Start with web send, then add copy-in once your company is set up, without a portal development project. Your branding makes the source of their documents clear; their copies remain under their control.
Your cabinet sits within the member’s own Keepd account. Keepd is free and works with any email address, bringing together their cabinets from different businesses and documents they file themselves. From your cabinet, they can navigate to the rest of their account.
Their copies remain available through deferred membership, retirement and a change of administrator.
Your branding gives members a familiar place to return to. Their ownership means access to their copies does not depend on your systems.
Less administration and fewer resends
Reduce the effort of finding historic member documents.
Member enquiries often involve a statement or notice issued some time ago. Giving members access to their own filed copies can reduce repeat searches and resends, while appropriate electronic filing can reduce the cost of paper mailings.
- Fewer requests for previous statements and pension notices
- Less time retrieving records for deferred members
- Less printing, pack preparation and postage
- Member access independent of changes to administration systems
Assess the benefit using your own document volumes, support workload and postage costs, alongside Documentd’s charges.
A simple start for your team
Start with one regular member mailing.
Try web send with a sample statement sent to yourself. Then choose a recurring process, such as benefit statements or pension increase notices, and agree folders by scheme and year.
Once your company is set up, send from the website or copy filing@documentd.com into your normal email. Copy-in files the attachments in each recipient’s cabinet; your ordinary email and attachments still go to the recipients as usual.
Email integration and the API are available for more involved workflows when you need them.
Lasting access to important records
Important pension documents can remain relevant for decades
Pension communications are unusual because the relationship can span much of a member's working life and retirement. Important point-in-time documents therefore need to remain accessible long after the immediate communication has passed. The copy protections described here apply to documents filed through Documentd, rather than files uploaded directly in Keepd.
Personal to the member
The document is delivered directly to the individual member.
Accessible later
The member retains long-term access independently of the administrator's portal.
Reliable historic copy
The sender cannot alter the settled copy filed through Documentd.
Documentd in practice
Documentd in practice
- The member owns their copy
- The sender cannot alter the settled copy filed through Documentd
- The sender cannot delete the settled copy filed through Documentd
- Access can continue through deferred membership and retirement
- The original document can be downloaded again
- Evidence of what was delivered and when is retained
It supports better member communications
The Pensions Regulator expects schemes to provide clear and appropriate communications throughout the member journey. Documentd gives important pension documents a persistent, organised place where members can review and retrieve them long after the original communication was sent.
Give the member their own permanent record, rather than making long-term access depend on the administrator's systems.
