401GO, a fully-owned 401(k) platform built specifically for advisors, has teamed up with Catapult HQ, Inc., the finance industry’s leading digital RFP system, in a move designed to eliminate long-standing bottlenecks in plan comparison and selection.
Catapult, which serves over 30,000 advisors, will now integrate directly with 401GO’s recordkeeping system. The result: a cleaner workflow with fewer manual handoffs and real-time visibility into plan setup, reducing administrative friction and accelerating onboarding.
Removing Friction for Advisors
“We are thrilled to partner with Catapult. As they streamline the RFP process with precision, 401GO delivers recordkeeping that drives operational efficiency and fiduciary confidence for our advisor community,” said Stan Smith, CGO of 401GO.
Historically, advisors have relied on spreadsheets and inconsistent templates to evaluate plan proposals—a process prone to errors, delays, and duplicative work. By connecting Catapult’s structured RFP platform directly to 401GO’s recordkeeping system, advisors can now route RFP outcomes straight into onboarding without extra steps.
“401GO and Catapult naturally fit together. Simple, fast, and built to remove friction,” added Justin Witz, CEO of Catapult HQ, Inc. “Our partnership gives advisors and plan sponsors the clarity they’ve been asking for without the busywork.”
Why This Partnership Matters
401GO positions itself as the only vertically integrated 401(k) recordkeeper, maintaining in-house architecture that supports real-time data flow and automated administration. Unlike competitors who rely on multiple vendors and manual processes, 401GO’s platform ensures operational efficiency and better compliance oversight.
Catapult shares this commitment to simplification, offering a standardized, structured RFP process that minimizes administrative overhead. Together, the two platforms promise advisors a seamless digital experience that could reshape how 401(k) plans are selected and implemented.
The integration is scheduled to officially launch in January 2026, with early activity already underway. Advisors can expect faster, more transparent workflows, reduced errors, and a clearer view into fiduciary responsibilities—all key drivers in an increasingly complex retirement planning landscape.
