We built the system we wished we’d had.

Encevia was founded by airline pilots who served on the committee and executive of a pilot union. There we saw first-hand where member support falls short: answers buried in long agreements, stretched staff, and questions that arrive at 2am. We built Encevia so unions can give every member a reliable answer, any time, and give their teams the insight to act on it.

What we believe.

Three principles behind everything we build.

Accuracy comes first.

Accuracy comes first.

Accuracy comes first.

When an answer affects someone’s pay, rest or rights, close enough isn’t good enough.

Experts stay essential.
