In today’s digital world, technology plays a pivotal role in transforming various industries, and employee benefits are no exception For brokers and group administrators, embracing technology is paramount to staying ahead of the curve

Beam Benefits, a digitally-led employee benefits company, stands at the forefront of modernizing the industry. With a laser focus on technology and strategic partnerships, Beam is revolutionizing the quoting process and streamlining benefits administration.

Customized Quotes with the Beam Quoting Tool

At the heart of Beam's technology-driven approach is the Beam Quoting Tool, or BQT This powerful tool allows brokers to obtain quotes that are instant, accurate, and most importantly, customized to the specific needs of a group With its user-friendly interface, brokers can easily navigate the tool's features, leveraging advanced functionalities to their advantage

Shelf rates are often the default among quoting platforms; not the case with the BQT One notable feature is the census uploading capability, ensuring rates are tailored to each client's needs This level of customization sets carriers apart, as brokers can provide their clients with quotes that accurately reflect their workforce demographics and benefit preferences that otherwise would take days of back-and-forth conversations.

Streamlining the Benefits Experience with Advanced Integrations

Our vision is to showcase technological prowess while modernizing the landscape of employee benefits To achieve this objective, we’ve established partnerships that integrate our product offerings directly into the technology platforms that brokers and group admins utilize today. By collaborating with three types of partners – direct digital agencies, quoting platforms, and benefits administration platforms – we solidify our competitive advantage and deliver a seamless experience to our clients.

Quoting Platforms: Accuracy and Collaboration

Beam understands that many brokers use quoting aggregator platforms to quote and compare several benefits providers’ products simultaneously Our philosophy is to meet brokers where they are by partnering with these quoting platforms to make accessing real-time, competitive quotes possible in the quoting tools they use most We deliver significant advantages to the quoting experience with these platforms by integrating them directly with Beam’s industry-leading rating API

It’s important to note that when platforms integrate with our API, rates displayed on these platforms are not shelf rates, which are static and may not accurately reflect individual circumstances. Instead, our rates are fully underwritten, using census data when available, and bindable utilizing Beam’s AI-driven pricing methodology. This level of customization ensures that the quotes brokers provide their clients through these platforms are accurate and tailored to their unique requests. It also ensures that risk is calculated appropriately and the group and broker aren’t surprised with hefty rate increases at renewal
