Beam Dental Partners with Flock to Further Insurance Tech
Columbus, OH (PRWEB) March 03, 2016 -- One of the major themes in technology over the past decade has been the infusion of software into non-traditional industries; the evolution of 'technology' as an industry in its own right and captured perfectly by Marc Andresseen's proclamation that 'software is eating the world'. Thus, today if we are to learn anything about the direction in which the world is moving, it is fundamentally toward technology-based tools, products, and services that make virtually interactions better, faster, and smarter.
An area recently seeing innovation (and over $1B in investment) is in the world of insurance technology and employee benefits, where the traditional broker and HR staff now have a number of new tools to play with -- software to make shopping for, and managing, payroll, insurance, and employee documentation easier than ever. Beam partners with Renaissance Dental to play a central role in this revolution when it comes to employers offering the world's best and most cost effective dental benefits experience to their workers. The Beam benefit solution is unique in that it adds a wellness element to the purchase of dental insurance by packaging Beams smart toothbrushes, paste, and floss along with a variety of dental insurance plans administered by Renaissance Dental. This approach to dental care helps keep individuals engaged with daily hygiene while encouraging preventive visits to their dentist.
One of Beam's favorite tools pointed at brokers in particular is Flock; a fantastic example of how the customer experience can be enhanced by pairing great technology with the broker’s expertise in client needs and the personal touch.
We are excited to announce that we are partnering with Flock to bring our shared notion of a better product in dental insurance to its platform of innovative brokers. Flock represents a cutting edge product that we believe can help deepen the quality of service that the modern broker can provide to their clients. And since Beamis interfacing with exactly this group of engaged and tech-oriented brokers, the partnership is a natural fit on both sides.
Beam is proud to join Flock's fast growing group of top employee benefits brokers and look forward to helping serve them the best product experience in the industry nationwide.
