Kota partners with Vitality to expand its benefits software

Irish SaaS Kota, which provides automation software for companies, has partnered with health insurer Vitality to expand their benefits software so that companies and employees can manage their health insurance packages.

HR and Finance teams will be able to view and manage Vitality group medical schemes within the Kota system, alongside the other plans available for their teams across different countries. The extension of Kota’s existing integrations in the UK makes its platform a comprehensive health and retirement benefits solution for companies operating across the UK and Ireland. 

They have also announced that their systems can be integrated with HR systems to automate the flow of employee data, removing the manual processes of onboarding and offboarding team members. 

Kota raised 5M in October in a round led by EQT Ventures with a plan to secure healthcare and embedded finance capabilities within the app.

Co-Founder and CEO Luke Mackey commented: “We are delighted to announce the extension of our offering with Vitality as part of our further expansion into the UK and European market. For too long HR Managers and employees have had to deal with frustrating and cumbersome processes to enable easy access to core benefits. We have been working closely with Vitality to deliver a powerful employer and employee experience that changes the game for benefits management. Kota is the first to market with its one-stop hub, which empowers remote and distributed companies to control their benefits and protect their teams in one place.”

Liam Kennedy, Director of Key Accounts at Vitality, said: “We’re pleased to be partnering with Kota, making it easier for businesses who have the platform to access and update their Vitality health insurance. Through our insurance, organisations can have access to a wide range of health and wellbeing support to enable them to prioritise and positively impact employee health and the productivity of their workforce, alongside providing access to healthcare when they need it.”
