7 Killer Features Transforming Employee Benefits Practices

Designed by brokers for brokers

You know how software can be confusing? A lot of the time, there are more features than you personally, actually need. Take Microsoft Excel for example. From the needs of an average business user crunching numbers, right through to the specialized features required by academics, economists and statisticians, it has to meet a wide range of use cases. By some anecdotal reckonings, the majority of people only use 5 to 10 percent of the available features.

A good way to combat confusion and make software easier to use is to focus its functionality so it meets the needs of a particular user type, or those of a specific industry or niche. This is known as ‘Line of Business’, (LoB) software.

Naturally, it follows that the best software for managing employee benefits brokerage is designed specifically for the industry. Vertical Fox is a benefits LoB platform designed for brokers by brokers, and you get features that really address the key problems of benefits practice.
