Ease

Benefits administration and HR platform for insurance brokers and small businesses

Distribution & Sales Established Acquired

Overview

Ease is a cloud-based benefits administration platform for insurance brokers and small to mid-size employers. The platform handles employee benefits enrollment, plan selection, HR onboarding, and compliance management, with workflows designed around the needs of benefits brokers rather than large enterprise HR teams.

The platform delivers its services as SaaS with carrier integrations, payroll system connections, and a marketplace of over 300 integration partners. Employees can access benefits information and complete enrollment online, while brokers manage multiple employer clients from a unified dashboard. The system holds HITRUST CSF certification for data security.

Ease was founded in 2012 by David A. Reid and Courtney Guertin and raised USD 60M+ across Series B and Series C rounds before being acquired by Employee Navigator in 2023. Post-acquisition, Ease continues to operate as a standalone brand. The combined entity serves over 150,000 businesses and 4,000+ insurance brokers across the United States.
