Zest Benefits Platform

Very positive and would highly recommend.

Pros:

The ability to implement an online benefits solution for our clients in matter of days not weeks is really important, as it allows us to scale up our business whilst also managing cost. The user journey is simple - most of the queries we would have from users on a previous benefits platform I used were due to struggles navigating the system. This hasn't been the case with Zest which really reduces the amount of time we spend administering the scheme; it's better experience for the employee too. The technical support we get from the Zest team is excellent and they are a great business to work with.

Cons:

We would like to be able to configure more of the homepage design.

Reasons for choosing Zest

Ability to configure any benefit, look and feel, data automation and simplicity of the user journey. Zest were also willing to demonstrate all of the functionality, particularly how data processing is automated.

Fantastic experience, great team, transformational technology

As a company to work with they are first class. A friendly bunch who deliver on what they say they will deliver when they say they will deliver it. They were much quicker in setting it up and gave greater value for money than the other competitors we explored.

Pros:

It has transformed how we manage our employee benefits. All the processes we previously had to do manually have been automated and the platform is compatible with all the benefits we need. It now takes a fraction of the time to administer and is so simple and easy to use.

Cons:

I have nothing negative to say about the platform

Reasons for switching to Zest

They gave us all the services and functionality we need but were more reasonably priced and could set it up faster than their competitors

Functionality

Pros:

This software is relatively user friendly, easy to manage and display is easy to understand for the employees, does not have performance issue and the customer service team and quick on respondind and dealing with querys.

Cons:

The only thing i don't like is the upload folder library as it stores the documents with a random names which is dificult to recognise and if any new document ends up having the same name would not allow to upload it unless the old copy is found and deleted, which is tricky to locate withing such small icons.

Reasons for choosing Zest

This was chosen prior to me joining the company so cannnot comment on this.

Thank you for your kind words Justyna. We appreciate your feedback!
