Collage Launches Advisor-Powered Online Benefits Administration Platform
The new Benefits HQ platform modernizes benefits administration for advisors and their clients, enabling advisors to keep pace with the digitization of the benefits industry, sell optional and voluntary products at scale, and offer their clients a superior online experience, independent of insurers.
TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Collage Technologies Inc. ("Collage"), developer of leading HR, payroll, and benefits management software, has launched a white-labeled benefits administration platform for advisors and their clients. Pairing leading benefits technology with ease-of-use, the Benefits HQ platform significantly improves plan management by eliminating paper forms and automating complex administrative tasks. All this while controlling program costs and equipping advisors with tools to deliver more value and grow their business.
The launch of Benefits HQ comes at a time of significant technological investment and adoption in the Canadian benefits market, signaling that advisors need to equip themselves with technology to win in an evolving marketplace. With Benefits HQ, advisors of all sizes can secure a competitive advantage by delivering a fully digital experience to their clients that consolidates enrollment for benefits, pensions, and alternative benefits and wellness products.
"Benefits HQ is a powerful innovation for Canadian advisors," says Collage CEO Elijah Moore. "We have seen firsthand how it helps advisors grow their business faster by offering the digital convenience clients expect. Just as important is that now, advisors of any size can have their own client platform independent of insurer technology, which we believe is key to enhancing the role of advisors in today's market."
The advisor-branded Benefits HQ platform makes benefits enrollment easier, more efficient, and more accurate than traditional benefits management. Its intelligent, rule-based system eliminates the cost and pain of late enrollments and automates complex processes, such as NEM applications, post-employment conversion of benefits, and taxable benefits management. Importantly, the platform shifts the majority of the plan sponsor experience from insurer properties to the advisor's own branded platform, which stays constant even as clients switch between insurance providers.
In addition to online enrollments and plan management, advisors using Benefits HQ get access to a curated ecosystem of technology providers and voluntary products to help them control and fulfill client demand at scale.
"Collage has shown that they understand the client-advisor relationship and are invested in enhancing it," says Vern Fischer of Fischer Financial Services. "For the first time, we can offer an advisor-centric platform that not only solves the needs of our clients, but gives us the flexibility to design custom plans and be more innovative. We're excited to partner with Collage and offer Benefits HQ across our book of business."
"Collage has developed a tool that is easy to use, solves core administration problems, and provides great customer support," says Caroline Kugelmass, President of Excel Benefit Consulting. "From a client perspective, it provides an excellent experience and offers a great solution to the benefits burden small-to-medium business owners face. As an independent advisor, we're thrilled to offer Benefits HQ as an option to make our clients' lives easier."
Launched in 2016, Collage's mission is to apply its technical strength and vision to make benefits a simpler and better experience for Canadians through leading benefits, payroll, and HR software solutions. In launching Benefits HQ alongside their flagship HRIS platform, Collage aims to fulfill their mission and enhance the value advisors bring to Canadian employers.
