Primebyte—One of the advantages of being a TPAA member is having access to partners selected specifically for their relevance and value to TPA firms. Primebyte is a perfect example, offering a suite of hosted application software to help small and medium-sized businesses handling four activities important to you and your clients: benefits administration, payroll, staffing and communications.
Benefits Administration
Primebyte’s benefits administration product is an online solution (including online enrollment) that gives your clients significant functionality while actually reducing administrative costs. It is flexible enough for clients of all sizes and with any combination of benefits and carriers, providing for benefits management at the administrator, employer and employee levels.
Payroll
Many TPAs face large competitors who are trying to move clients to a combined human resources and benefits platform. Primebyte has partnered with ExecuPay to allow you to extend your client’s payroll and HR capabilities for less than what they would pay for payroll alone from a large competitor.
Staffing
Acquiring and keeping people are essential to every business. Primebyte lets you offer more than standard recruiting and development services with powerful enhancements: 1) journal entries for documenting observations and thoughts about employee performance throughout the year that can be used in performance reviews, 2) credentialing, for keeping track of continuing education, certifications and follow-up dates and 3) performance evaluations using a weighting system that allows clients to develop their own standard weighting criteria online and 4) training and education modules including tax credit fulfillment.
Communications
Primebyte’s custom-branded Employer/Employee Information Center portals offer employers a powerful document management/repository to display benefits and other human resources information, policies, procedures and employee manuals. It enables online benefits enrollment and changes, updates claims management software and generates electronic communications such as policies, alerts and announcements and benefit plan descriptions. Employees have 24/7 access to the system, which can be customized to the ZIP code level to show only the benefits available in their areas. Primebyte’s price also includes a subscription to HRAnswerLink®, a premium, Web-based resource dedicated to HR industry topics, forms, processes and issues. Because the system is so efficient, you can offer it to clients at no or low cost, or use it as a revenue generating vehicle.
Best of Breed, Lowest Cost
“Primebyte offers the kinds of services our TPAA members are asking for,” says Mark Oelschlager, president of the TPAA. “They’ve figured out how to give independent TPAs great solutions normally reserved for larger firms with big budgets but at a reasonable cost.”
Primebyte was founded in 1995 in Kansas City, Missouri, to develop software solutions for human resource acquisition, management and employee benefits. For more information, visit www.primebyte.com. |
