Employee benefits technology provider Staffcare has relaunched its business as Zest, and simultaneously launched its new benefits technology platform.

The launch marks the culmination of a multi-million, three-year investment programme by Zest, supported by its parent company, The SimplyBiz Group.

Ray Sieber, managing director of Zest, said: “Today marks a major shift for the business and the market. The current technology on offer in this sector still dates back to the concepts that existed when the employee benefits technology sector started, and the market requirements have moved on and matured since then.

“Today’s market expects modern, flexible, device independent software that is quick to set up, easy to maintain and simple to use.

“Above all, it needs to truly achieve the ultimate aim of dramatically easing the burden of administration. No different really to what [employers] have come to expect of other more mature technology sectors.”

Graham Meinke, Zest’s head of product, added: “Zest significantly reduces the time and cost of implementing benefits technology, offers a seamless employee experience and provides simple tools that reduce the administrative burden for employers.

"Zest’s goal is to help employers achieve their corporate reward objectives while saving time and money in the process.”
