Agilio Software, the leading provider of healthcare software solutions, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Patient Plan Direct (PPD), a specialist dental membership plan provider that helps practices grow sustainable, recurring income and strengthen patient relationships. The deal brings together Agilio’s established dental compliance, workforce and marketing solutions with PPD’s proven expertise in plan design, technology, training, and support to nurture strong growth and retention.
PPD works with independent practices, regional groups, and DSOs across the UK, providing end-to-end support from plan design and pricing through to onboarding, marketing, promotion, and day-to-day administration. Its teams in client services, operations, and business development support thousands of dentists and hundreds of thousands of patients, with a strong track record in retention and proactive plan management.
Bringing Agilio and PPD together creates a powerful platform that connects membership plans, compliance, practice operations and practice growth solutions. Over time, Agilio plans to combine PPD’s plan expertise with its wider technology roadmap, including PMS integrations, single sign-on, and enhanced AI automation. This will help practices reduce administrative burden, improve cash flow and gain deeper insight into plan performance. Existing PPD and iPlan customers will continue to be supported as normal while a carefully managed migration and integration programme is delivered.
Ben Betts, CEO of Agilio Software, said, “Acquiring PPD is an important step in Agilio’s dental strategy, building on our existing products such as iTeam, iComply and iGrow, and giving us the opportunity to offer dental practices joined-up solutions that cover practice-branded membership plans, compliance, workforce management, and practice growth. In the near term, we will focus on continuity for customers and staff while the combined team designs the next generation of solutions.”
Simon Reynolds, Managing Director, PPD, commented, “Joining Agilio will allow the business to invest further in technology, expand its support for practices and groups, and help bring high-quality preventive care to more patients. The culture of both organisations is rooted in long-term relationships and practical, on-the-ground support for dental teams. This alignment was a key factor in recognising Agilio as the right strategic partner to benefit all stakeholders in the future.”
Andy Sloan, Agilio’s Managing Director for Dental, added, “This is an exciting addition to our portfolio, enabling us to offer an enhanced dental plan, improve our iGrow dental growth proposition, and position us collectively for great things ahead. We have a strong cultural match with a passion for the dental market and for supporting dental practices across a wide range of needs. We warmly welcome PPD’s customers and team to the Agilio fold and look forward to working with everyone.”
With PPD on board, Agilio strengthens its position as a partner of choice for practices that want to grow, stay compliant, and deliver great patient experiences with less administrative burden.
