Benefits to Strengthen Your Business

The Hartford & Boost

HR teams spend a significant amount of time on manual configuration of benefits. It’s time to take that time back!

The age of real-time integrations and instant access to information is upon us. And it’s essential that technology platforms and insurance carriers take full advantage of these advances to create the best customer experience possible. That’s why we created PlanSource Boost.

Through Boost, PlanSource and The Hartford will revolutionize the way benefits are set up and administered.
