Benefits consultants can find themselves spending a majority of their time on data processing—a task that has little to do with their expertise or value. This wasn't always the case. Just as Excel transformed financial analysis in the 1990s, AI is set to transform benefits consulting today.
Don't try to transform everything at once. Begin by logging your team's activities for two weeks. Identify which data-heavy tasks consume the most time while adding the least value. For most consultants, these fall into three categories: plan spreading, contribution modeling, and proposal generation.
Seek technology that eliminates these tasks rather than just accelerating them. The difference is critical—faster spreadsheets still require your attention, while true automation frees your mind completely. The goal is removing these tasks from your workflow entirely, not just making them more efficient.
When evaluating solutions, prioritize those that work with your existing processes rather than demanding wholesale change. The right technology should adapt to how you work, not force your team to learn entirely new systems.
We built Planyear because we lived the benefits consulting grind ourselves. Our team includes industry veterans who spent years watching skilled consultants waste their expertise on spreadsheets instead of strategy. Rather than waiting for technology companies to understand our industry's unique challenges, we decided to build the solution ourselves. We combined deep benefits knowledge with AI capabilities to create technology that works the way benefits professionals think.
If you're looking for ways to transform administrative burdens into strategic opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.
