Vendor Partnership Initiative
Vendor Partnerships
We are delighted to welcome the vendors to a partnership with the association.
For too long, relationships between bureaus and vendors have been reactive, inconsistent, and often frustrating. Members have told us of slow responses, unclear communication, and a lack of understanding of how a bureau environment really works. Meanwhile, many vendors are genuinely trying to engage more effectively but lack a structured, trusted route to do so.
The Vendor Partnership Initiative bridges that gap – creating clear, well-managed ways for both sides to engage with purpose, honesty, and respect.
How it works
VPI Feedback
"The results coming from the poll of ABM members has given us some really valuable insight and it has validated a lot of our assumptions around bureau market opportunity.
It definitely hit the mark and I can see that working with the ABM and their members will be really useful going forwards."

The payroll bureau community has been instrumental to the success of the UK pensions industry. Our partnership with ABM enables us to collaborate on joint solutions that deliver greater value for bureaus, their clients and, most importantly, employees.
People's Pension
The best decisions we have made about our payroll software came from bureau managers telling us what gets in their way. The ABM is where those conversations happen. Members share what works and what does not with a generosity and care for the industry you rarely find elsewhere. We are delighted to support the association and the work it does for its members. What we hear shapes what we build, so we end up solving problems bureaus actually have rather than the ones we imagined. That is the software we want to put in front of this community, and the reason we keep turning up.
