What is Penneo secret sauce?

With a dream of changing the world, 3 Danish entrepreneurs put the lab coats on and went ahead into the lab to create what we know today as Penneo. After extensive research, they discovered that it was troublesome to get papers signed and that this was a problem that most companies, big and small, were facing on a daily basis.

With all this time and resources being wasted every day our scientists had to do something. The Danish NemID was the key. It is the core around which the Penneo software was built. Penneo made it possible for companies and individuals to save paper and throw away their old pens and start using a new pen- Pen Neo- to digitally & securely sign documents via eID.

Danish accountants, lawyers and Property Managers were among the first who wanted to try it out. Later, the financial industry joined with leasing companies, insurance companies and banks. With a shared dream of adding power to annual reports, settlements, debentures, supplier agreements, leasing contracts etc. we have built a platform where customers and clients easily can sign, fast and secure.

During the first 4 years, almost 1,000 companies jumped on board the Penneo boat. There are still many from the 'suit industries', but many HR departments, municipalities and public institutions have also joined. And they use it. A lot. Everything from employment contracts to corporate customer forms are now being digitized. Why download a web form, print and fill it in by hand when it can all be done directly on your computer or smartphone. New customers join every single day and it seems that they love Penneo almost as much as we love them.

Denmark was where we started, but the Nordics is what we conquered. Since 2016, because of the immense interest in Penneo, we opened our doors to companies in Sweden and Norway as well. The possibilities and the benefits are the same, just e-signature technology- different in each country. As a start-up we were flexible enough to adapt to the new market and accommodate our new Scandinavian clients. The results? Scandinavian companies got optimized workflows, saved money and suddenly gained an incredible competitive advantage as they had the digital tools to compete in an ever-changing digital environment.

After we conquered Denmark, Norway and Sweden with a blast, we expanded to Belgium! Psst: Did you know that now more than half of annual reports in Scandinavia are signed with Penneo? And we're not stopping there! We have our eyes set on multiple European countries and we can't wait to help them digitize and automate their whole document handling journey and achieve full business process automation.
