Your Value. Our Tech. Unbeatable.
NextAgency’s Purpose
Help Brokers Win
The benefits world is changing. New legislation. New competitors. New responsibilities and expectations. Never has the market demanded as much from benefit brokers. Never has it demanded greater efficiency.
That’s why we created NextAgency: to help you win in a new market. To help you beat back new competitors like Zenefits, Namely and Gusto. To help make your high-touch value visible to your clients. To help you save time, sell more, do more. You’re already successful. Our goal is to help you stay successful.
NextAgency’s Approach
Flexible Support for the Way You Work
The way you work works for you. We recognize that. We respect that.
We’re not one of those software companies asking you to change what you do or who you work with. On the contrary.
We designed NextAgency to be a flexible workflow engine. We don’t change the way you work or your business partners. We just help you work better.
