Berlin / Heilbronn, July 18, 2025:
The epension GmbH, one of the leading technology providers in the field of occupational pensions, and the Hörtkorn Group, one of the leading industrial brokers in Germany, are launching a strategic cooperation to digitalize occupational pension processes. The aim of the partnership is to offer employer customers of the Hörtkorn Group a standardized, fully digital service experience for company pension schemes and other pension solutions.
The epension platform gives customers of the Hörtkorn Group centralized access to all relevant business transactions – digitally, efficiently and transparently. This not only means a considerable relief for HR departments, but also a significant improvement in service quality for employers and employees.
Digital provision becomes a strategic success factor
“With epension, we are not only digitizing processes, but also creating real added value for our customers: more transparency, more efficiency and more time for strategic consulting,” says Christian Hörtkorn, Managing Partner of the Hörtkorn Group. “In an increasingly complex market environment, our aim is to offer our customers not only professional but also technologically leading solutions.”
The cooperation is also seen as an important step for epension: “With the Hörtkorn Group, we are gaining a strong partner that deeply understands the occupational pensions market and wants to consistently develop it further in the interests of its customers,” says Oliver Nies, Managing Director of epension GmbH. “Our platform offers the ideal basis not only to make occupational pension provision more efficient, but also to develop it into a real growth opportunity for brokers and companies.”
Scalable processes and measurable added value
The collaboration allows brokers such as the Hörtkorn Group to reduce administrative costs per contract by up to 70% through automation and digital standardization. At the same time, the processing speed increases significantly – while maintaining the same high quality of advice. For employers, this means less effort, more clarity and processes that are traceable at all times. The platform also enables audit-proof archiving of all documents and offers HR departments structured evaluations at the touch of a button.
Partnership at eye level
The cooperation between epension and the Hörtkorn Group is based on a clear shared vision: to make occupational pension provision so simple, understandable and economically viable that it becomes a model for success for everyone involved – from the advisor to the employer to the individual employee.
