Effortless Admin is true to their name - they make Benefits Administration "effortless"

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Effortless Admin is a wonderful Benefit Administrator who is constantly looking to grow and improve their processes. Their customer service is absolutely phenomenal - they are responsive, clear and concise with answers and they will go above and beyond to reach out to our Benefit Provider and resolve the issue on our behalf (even when we didn't ask them to)! If you are looking for a partner who will make life easier (from a Benefits Administrator perspective), look no further because Effortless Admin is the partner for you!

Pros:

The product is very easy to use, the customer service is exceptional and the integration was seamless. Our organization is growing so quickly yet Effortless Admin is easily able to keep up with our exploding headcount. With a growing organization comes a changing set of needs, Effortless Admin is always willing to listen and where they can, accommodate our list of requests to make our lives easier (whether they can implement it immediately or build it into a future feature roll out). Their customer service is top notch, they are very quick to respond via email or the live chatbot and always provide amazing support to our team! They are always willing to go above and beyond to assist us and our employees! When we engaged Effortless Admin, we had huge concerns about the enrollment process - we were looking for a partner to make our lives easier. We can from a very archaic system where the enrollment process was extremely manual for both the employer and the employees. However, Effortless Admin has a very intuitive and easy platform for us and the employees. We are able to log into the platform and send reminder emails to employees who haven't enrolled which is incredibly helpful to nudge the employees. Also, we can easily see an audit trail of the enrollment process for each individual employee (i.e. when the original enrollment email was sent, when any reminder emails were sent, if the employee opened the email and when, etc.).

Cons:

The two biggest cons for our organization is: 1) The email notification sent to us with a list of employees who completed their benefit enrollment is super useful but currently capped at displaying 10 employee names - if there are more employees who completed their enrollment, the email notification simply shows the last line as "5 more..." without displaying the employee names. This can be very hard to track who those remaining employees are. Effortless Admin has already been made of our request and plans on implementing this change as a future feature update so we can see all employee names in the email. 2) If an employee is being onboarded way before their start date, Effortless Admin's platform will wait until the month that the employee starts before processing their Benefit enrollment. This can sometimes delay the onboarding process from an administrative perspective as we cannot see what selections the employee made until their enrollment is processed.

Comments: Effortless Admin is great overall. Whenever I have a question or issue, I always receive an answer or advice back from Customer Support team very quick. This software makes my job easier.

Pros:

The Customer Support team is very supportive and helpful. They are quick to respond via email or live chatbot. The product is easy to use both for admin and team members.

Cons:

This app didn't interface with our payroll system. Therefore, I need to transfer or update information manually.

Effortless Admin is truly effortless!

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: From beginning to end it was a great experience. Implementation was a breeze and everyone was so friendly and helpful.

Pros:

The chat support is by far the best feature. To be able to have someone available to talk to when you are in the middle of something and just need a quick answer is so valuable.

Cons:

I don't have anything bad to say about Effortless Admin.
