Overview:

After considering 3rd-Party enrollers, as well as facing difficult challenges in the past, it was determined that an in-house solution was the best route.

Project Detail


With their burgeoning success came many challenges. One issue was being able to accommodate their expanding number of employees with an accurate, supportive and cost-effective way of providing annual benefits. This meant working with a third-party provider or implementing an in-house solution. Either way, there was a daunting list of challenges to approach: 

  • Find a way to seamlessly accommodate a growing employee base with all relative benefits in one location
  • Determine if annual benefits enrollment operations must be handled by a third-party provider or can be  administered in-house
  • Customize all aspects of employee benefits, from administrative communications to payroll to healthcare coverage packages
  • Support the Company throughout the entire process and beyond
  • Cost-effective and flexible to grow with the Company over time

Utilizing ColdFusion, WRIS was able to build an efficient and easy to use enrollment portal for both administrators and employees. It allowed for a fully customized and dynamic site with consistent internal company branding. The system included a delivery system for communications thorughout all levels of the company and improved employee satisfaction. The best part was that it was independent of 3rd-party providers, and a cheaper long-term solution. 

Ongoing Support


With WRIS, Gerber Collision & Glass now ha a customized, fully-functioning in-house benefits enrollment portal for their employees.

WRIS provides ongoing tech support and maintenance of the benefits enrollment portal, as well as the server it is housed on.
