Summary
EaseCentral, a cloud-based benefits enrollment software platform built for small and medium insurance brokers and employers, has announced a $6.5 million Series A round of funding led by Propel Ventures and involving current investors Freestyle Capital, Compound, Upside Partnership, and Transmedia Capital. The first is a free, employee-facing iOS mobile application that facilitates access to insurance cards, health plan information, and paid time off days along with paperwork documentation like W9 forms. David Reid: Over one third of the workforce is made up of millennials and mobile devices are their preferred method for accessing the internet. Medgadget: Both of EaseCentral’s new offerings (ADP integration + mobile app) are specifically identified for health insurance brokers. We will also be launching more solutions that connect employer enrollment data directly to providers to improve the speed and accuracy of transactions.
