BTR:

What is Vimly’s claim to fame?

Vimly:

Vimly is a best-in-class benefits administration technology solution architected for organizations with an aggregated business model, such as MEWAs, trusts, association health plans, PEOs, health plans, TPAs, and other similar groups. With a focus on streamlining workflows and creating efficiencies, Vimly provides a comprehensive platform for quoting, enrollment, eligibility, consolidated billing, integrations, and more.

BTR:

How did you arrive at the MEWA niche?

Vimly:

Vimly has been around for almost 30 years. We started in 1993 as a TPA providing solutions for the small group market through association health plans. We quickly realized there was no specific technology platform built to support the complexity of that sect of the market, so we built the solution.

BTR:

What are the specific needs you see with MEWAs?

Vimly:

MEWAs face a lot of manual processes and complexities, especially around billing, reconciliation, and communication. There is a lack of technology options in the market that support aggregated businesses with the mission-critical knowledge that Vimly deploys.

BTR:

Tell us more about the features and benefits of your solution.

Vimly:

Our technology platform, SIMON®, is a  HITRUST® certified benefits administration technology and services solution. The four key pillars of Vimly’s proprietary platform include– quoting, enrollment & eligibility, true consolidated billing & settlement, and robust integrations. Vimly’s flagship product, consolidated billing, features the ability to consolidate any carrier premiums, broker commissions, administration fees, etc., for each member group into a single invoice, allowing for direct pay within the system or otherwise. Vimly also reconciles and disperses payment for enrollments, is keen on integrations (inbound and outbound), and the technology is mobile-optimized.

We also allow our clients the flexibility to pursue our white-labeled technology through a full-service support model or as a SaaS-only solution. Vimly also can support trust administration services, integrated COBRA, CDH needs, ACA services, and more, focusing on data security and integrity.

BTR:

What’s on Vimly’s roadmap?

Vimly:

We’re excited about the continued development of our quoting solution, underwriting capabilities for fully-insured, self-funded, and level-funded plans, and our API catalog & portal. Vimly strives to be the single source of truth from the pre-sale of an insurance plan through to the billing and settlement process. We are investing in our technology year-over-year to ensure we have the best product available for our partners across the multi-employer markets.

BTR:

What else would you like the share about your solution?

Vimly:

Vimly has multiple user experiences across a single code set – including experiences for the employee, the individual employer, brokers, and the partner portal. Everything is aggregated, providing complete visibility and control over the entire book of business. Features like “create an employer” allow new employers to be added within minutes to any multi-employer group, allowing for efficient execution and a platform for growth and scale.

This week’s featured partner is . Our series hosts, & , sat down with & to discuss Proliant’s tech know-how, company developments, and market wins.

BTR:

What is Proliant’s claim to fame? Give us the 411 on your specialty.

Proliant:

At Proliant, we believe there is not true “best HR technology,” rather we look at how technology fits best with our clientele. Our origins were in CPA tax services, until our clients asked for support with payroll services. Proliant pivoted to accommodate the needs of their clients, and now payroll is the core service offered by Proliant. Industries with hourly employees – restaurants, factories, retail, and the like – are finding a lot of success on Proliant’s software

BTR:

What are the common services added onto your core payroll offering?

Proliant:

Typically, we see Onboarding, ACA, HRIS, and Time & Labor implemented with our core payroll service. We were the first payroll system in the industry with an integrated ACA suite, with lots of bells and whistles for employers with variable hour employees.

Applicant tracking is typically stand-alone from the payroll system, which is by design in many cases due to the specific needs of the type of client using AT solution.

Benefits administration is available through Proliant, and we also offer integrations with many other best-in-breed ben admin systems like Employee Navigator, PlanSource, and bswift. Proliant is proud to have the flexibility to integrate with best-in-breed partners to offer the best global solution for the employer.

BTR: Tell us about the opportunities available for integrations.

Proliant:

We have an open API architecture. We see a lot of integrations with Applicant Tracking and Learning Management systems to facilitate new hire processes. Security is also a popular API for many clients to support Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) functionality.

BTR: What is on Proliant’s roadmap?

Proliant:

Our product team is doing a great job listening to our clients with a focus on automating as much as we can for employers. Standardization of data is top of mind with most of our developments, with the objective of helping employers be able to use their data for employee utilization and corporate forecasting.

Employee Engagement is also being developed. Technology tools such as employee surveys and communication modules are being designed to support business objectives from the top down, including position management access for mid-management roles and collaborative digital spaces within Proliant’s software.
