PlanSource Holdings

PlanSource Holdings operates as a technology firm focused on simplifying employee benefits administration. The company was established in 2008 by co-founders Scott Carver and Ted White and is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. Its history traces back to roots in the human capital management technology space from 1997. Before being acquired, the company secured $94 million in total funding across three rounds, including a significant $70 million Series C round in August 2015 led by Great Hill Partners. A pivotal moment in the company's trajectory occurred in April 2019 when it was acquired by Vista Equity Partners, a private equity firm specializing in enterprise software, data, and technology-enabled businesses. This acquisition was positioned to fuel PlanSource's next phase of growth and accelerate its product development.

The core of PlanSource's business is its cloud-based benefits administration platform, a SaaS solution that automates and streamlines various aspects of employee benefits programs. The platform serves a diverse client base that includes employers of all sizes, insurance carriers, and benefits brokers. The business model is partner-focused, distributing its technology through brokers and resellers rather than selling directly to employers. Revenue is generated from its software and a suite of technology-enabled services, with an estimated annual revenue of $159.5 million.

The PlanSource platform offers a comprehensive solution for benefits shopping, enrollment, billing, compliance, and administration. Key features include tools for employee engagement, helping staff understand their benefits, and automation for compliance with regulations like ACA and COBRA. The platform integrates with various HCM, payroll, and insurance carrier systems to ensure data synchronization. Additionally, PlanSource provides a range of add-on services such as COBRA administration, billing reconciliation, dependent verification, and management of tax-advantaged accounts like HSAs and FSAs. The company reported serving over 3,500 employers and more than 5 million consumers.
