Selerix

Selerix (Selerix Systems) develops cloud-based benefits administration software for employers, brokers and resellers, and insurance carriers. Its core platform, BenSelect, handles enrollment workflows, eligibility rules and plan configuration, connects to payroll and carrier systems, and provides administrative dashboards and decision support. Complementary products include Selerix Engage, a communications tool for scheduling automated, targeted benefits messaging by email, SMS or employee portal with engagement metrics; Selerix ACA for year-round Affordable Care Act compliance; and SyncStream, part of the Selerix product family, which provides ACA tracking, filing, auditing and past-year compliance services. The platform covers both core benefits such as medical and voluntary benefits, and includes COBRA and ACA reporting compliance functions.

The company positions itself for organizations with complex benefits needs — mid-sized to large employers, brokers managing multiple clients, and carriers seeking enrollment and data-management integrations — and pairs its software with a dedicated support team, role-specific virtual training paths (case building, voluntary benefits, data management), and implementation services. Support is offered by email and phone during business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday.

Selerix reports more than 1,000 benefits integrations with HRIS platforms, payroll providers and carriers, and states that it works with every major carrier in the market.

Founding story

Selerix traces its origins to a group of veteran software developers who worked together at SelectQuote between 1994 and 2002, building insurance industry expertise. In 2002 Selerix Systems was formed, with its founders initially consulting and developing large-scale strategies for employer benefit administration, worksite marketing and employee benefit enrollment before the offering was expanded into a full benefits administration system. Lyle Griffin is identified as co-founder and served as president for 22 years.

Business model

Selerix licenses its benefits administration, engagement and compliance software to employers and sells through and to brokers, resellers, carriers and licensees, which distribute or embed the BenSelect platform for their own clients. Software is complemented by implementation, client-service, advisory and training offerings.

Sourcing indicates a software platform sold to employers and to intermediaries (brokers/resellers) and carriers/licensees that adopt the BenSelect solution; specific pricing terms are not disclosed in the available material.

Traction

Company-reported figures include 14 million employees enrolled, more than 1,000 integrations, 26,000+ companies served and $19 billion in premium. Historical milestones cited by the company include a first client going live on BenSelect in 2003, adoption by 13 carriers and licensees in 2004, and service to more than 21,000 employer groups by 2005.
