Healthcare software solutions provider Agilio Software has acquired Runcorn-based Patient Plan Direct (PPD), a specialist dental membership plan provider.
The acquisition brings together Agilio’s dental compliance, workforce and marketing software with PPD’s expertise in designing and managing practice-branded dental membership plans, helping practices build recurring income and strengthen patient relationships.
PPD works with independent practices, regional groups and dental service organisations across the UK.
The business provides end-to-end support from plan design and pricing to marketing, onboarding and day-to-day administration for hundreds of thousands of patients.
Yorkshire HealthTech Agilio, which is headquartered in Sheffield, said the combination creates a more integrated platform.

It is set to connect membership plans, compliance, practice operations and growth solutions, with existing PPD and iPlan customers continuing to be supported as normal during a phased integration process.
“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,” said Ben Betts, CEO of Agilio Software.
Simon Reynolds, managing director of PPD, added, “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.”
