Company Description
Founded in late 2008, Benelicious is taking an entirely new approach to the management and administration of employee benefits for the mid-market – companies with 100 – 5,000 employees. With a background of extensive domain knowledge our team has chosen the Force.com Platform-as-a-Service to develop and deliver an enterprise level, stand alone application to deliver our service. Initially, the service will provide significant cost savings to employers and improved employee satisfaction. Over time, Benelicious will extend its service to simplify the benefit plans themselves, resulting in further cost savings and a more efficient, broader market opportunity. We make benefits "delicious."
Application Description
On the surface, the Benelicious application and service will appear similar to past solutions that have come before – it will have an administrative interface for the HR coordinator, an online enrollment site for new hires and employees making changes, and will interface directly with payroll providers and insurance carriers. The difference is under the hood.
The foundation of our system will be the data driven design and comprehensive transaction tracking of the employee’s landmark life events. The inherent complexity of benefit management will be masked by the flexibility of our rules based deployment and custom configuration process. This flexibility will allow us to create a simple management interface for the company, and a simple enrollment process for the employee.
