Learn More About Benefits Administration Software

What is Benefits Administration Software?

Benefits Administration Software is used to automate the process of managing employee benefits and eligibility, including medical insurance, pension & retirement, and PTO. It centralizes benefits data for administrator, manager, and employee visibility. This type of software also includes healthcare brokerages or marketplaces for use by employers and healthcare analytics platforms for decision optimization.

Benefits administration software saves time managing and scaling benefits administration processes. By centralizing benefits administration to a single platform, businesses can more easily monitor their own benefits expenses and budgeting. It also improves employees’ ability to self-serve their benefits information, such as selecting plans and accessing 3rd party providers. The solutions can also streamline and guide compliance with regulations like the Affordable Care Act.

Benefits administration software can be a standalone solution. However, much of the market consists of HR Management products and HCM suites that encompass some form of benefits administration. Standalone benefits administration software should integrate smoothly with other HR and finance systems. High-quality integrates enable automated data flow from system to system, eliminating the need to update information in multiple systems manually. Many systems are also modularized, so buyers only need to purchase the specific benefits administration features that the organization needs.

Benefits Administration SoftwareComparison

When comparing benefits administration software, consider these factors:

  • Standalone Benefits Administration vs. HCM Suite: Does the organization already have an HR management system and only need to layer a point solution on top of it? Or should it adopt a comprehensive HCM suite? The full suite may be overkill for some organizations. In contrast, managing multiple HR systems can be more costly and limit long-term scalability in favor of specific best-of-breed features.

  • Benefits Marketplace: Does each option have a native benefits marketplace? If so, are there any limitations on provider options or advantageous terms of specific benefits providers? The quality and pricing of a given benefits marketplace can dramatically impact the overall TCO associated with a given platform.

  • Mobile Accessibility: Many employees will prefer to engage with HR systems mobily. Most leading benefits administration software will have some form of mobile app, but not all are created equal. Consider the ease of use and level of functionality that the mobile application actually supports to determine how well it will serve employees’ needs.

Pricing Information

Sometimes, benefits enrollment systems are sold as part of a larger HR software suite, and pricing for the benefits administration component is rolled into the overall price. But for standalone products, there are different pricing models.

Two of the most common are a monthly flat fee, or a flat fee minimum plus a per employee, per month license. The latter is dependent on the number of employees in the system which may act as a brake on adoption. Under this scenario, common pricing is a flat fee of $30 to $200 or more, depending on capabilities, plus a per employee price of $10 to $20.
