Platform Integrations
Benefits administration works best when employee data, benefit elections, payroll deductions, carrier eligibility, billing, and COBRA activity stay aligned.
PPI Benefit Solutions helps employers reduce duplicate entry, improve data accuracy, and create more efficient workflows between their benefits administration platform and other systems, including payroll, HRIS, carrier, and point-solution platforms.
Because every employer’s technology environment is different, PPI offers several data-sharing options — from payroll deduction reporting to configured file exchange and more advanced managed payroll integrations.
Keep Benefits, Payroll, and HR Data Better Aligned
Payroll & HRIS Data Options
PPI supports several levels of payroll and HRIS coordination. The right approach depends on the employer’s systems, payroll provider, data requirements, implementation timeline, and available vendor support.
Payroll Deduction Reporting
For many employers, the most practical starting point is payroll deduction reporting from the benefits administration platform.
PPI provides reporting that helps employers update payroll deductions after enrollment changes, new hires, terminations, qualifying events, and open enrollment activity.
This option helps HR teams maintain more accurate payroll deductions without requiring a full payroll integration.
Configured File Exchange
For employers that need a more advanced data-sharing process, PPI can support 360° managed payroll integrations between AutoEnroll and the employer’s payroll system.
These integrations are designed to synchronize demographic and benefits deduction data between systems, helping reduce manual updates and improve accuracy across benefits and payroll workflows.
Because managed payroll integrations are more complex, they require coordination among PPI, the employer, and the payroll provider. Setup requirements and timelines vary based on the payroll system, file specifications, testing needs, data quality, and vendor participation.
Working with PPI Through Your Existing Benefits Platform
Some employers already use another HR, benefits, or payroll system as their primary employee data source. In those situations, PPI can accept an inbound 834 eligibility file from the employer’s HR, benefits, or payroll system into AutoEnroll.
This allows PPI to support:
- Carrier eligibility data
- Carrier EDI
- Combined billing
- COBRA administration
- Eligibility consistency across systems
- Through fallout reporting
Employee Navigator Integrations Make Running Your Business Easier
PPI also supports clients using Employee Navigator.
PPI handles setup of platform carrier plans in Employee Navigator and helps ensure the information provided through the system aligns with carrier requirements.
For employers that want to connect Employee Navigator with other tools, the Employee Navigator Marketplace offers options for payroll companies, voluntary benefits providers, fringe benefit providers, and other point solutions.
Not Sure Which Option Fits?
Every employer’s systems, vendors, and benefits strategy are different. PPI can help evaluate the right integration or data-sharing approach for your organization.
