Product SheetSystem RequirementsSample Reports

1. The Business Benefits
   • Save time: Finish your annual tasks much sooner.
   • Free up staff: Even less experienced staff can produce consistent, accurate results.
   • Reduce Risk, Improve Accuracy: Reduce human error with intelligent logic built on decades of ERISA expertise.
   • Work off-hours: Schedule SSP to run nights and weekends — productivity while your office is closed.
   • Proven: In use by 40% of the largest financial institutions in the country. Now available to TPAs of any size.
2. Automatically Begins Processing Plans as They Arrive
   • In real life for many TPAs, plans don’t come in all at once — they trickle in from Plan Sponsors.
   • SSP automatically detects when a plan is ready and begins processing immediately — no waiting, no manual kick-off.
   • This ensures your team can stay on top of year-end work continuously, instead of falling behind in a crunch.
3. Automates the Entire Year-End Workflow
   • Census imports (including recordkeeping files when applicable)
   • Data validations with customizable failure triggers
   • Complex calculations: HCE, key determination, eligibility, limited comp, allocations, and more
   • Compliance testing across all required tests (ADP, ACP, coverage, top-heavy, etc.)
   • Corrections and automated solutions
   • Valuation reports and client/recordkeeper deliverables
   • All in one seamless flow — with no steps skipped.
4. Applies ERISA Logic at Scale — While You Stay in Control
   • SSP follows the exact rules and processes you establish during setup.
   • Built-in flexibility means thousands of ERISA-based applications are automated.
   • For example, when running the ADP/ACP test, SSP can automatically apply “Solve BEST” options, testing multiple variations to find the optimal result.
   • You’re always in control — SSP flags exceptions for expert review when needed and keeps the rest of your plans moving forward.
5. Proven Results & Credibility
   • Firms using SSP have cut weeks to months off their year-end process — achieving consistent, accurate results in a fraction of the time.
   • SSP is trusted by over 40% of the largest financial institutions in the U.S. — and ASC is now making it available to smaller firms.
   • Already proven in production environments for years, SSP combines automation with control in a way no other system offers.
6. Automate EVERYTHING. & Stay in Control
   • With ASC’s Plan Document System and 5500 System you can automate from the beginning of the Plan Creation as well as 5500 Forms filing. See for yourself!
