Our 5-step implementation process

1. Kick off and planning

We start by getting to know your organisation. Your team size, your benefits strategy, existing providers, the systems you already use and what you want your platform to achieve. This gives us a clear plan and a realistic timeline before any work begins.

2. Configuration

Our in-house implementation team builds your platform around what you've told us. This includes your chosen benefit modules, your branding and your access controls, so the finished platform reflects your organisation, not a generic template.

3. Integrations

Our technical team maps your HR and payroll integration requirements and builds a solution that works with the systems you already use, so joiner, leaver and benefit change data flows automatically.

4. Testing and review

Before launch, we check everything works as it should. You’ll review the platform yourself and confirm your benefit rules, your data and your branding are all correct, so there are no surprises when your platform goes live.

5. Launch

We launch your platform with a fully branded employee interface, all your chosen benefits in place and the first round of employee communications, so your team can start engaging with their benefits from day one.

Support that doesn't stop at launch

Your implementation is led by a dedicated in-house team who stay with you from kick off to launch, answering questions and keeping the project on track. You always know who to speak to and where things stand.

Once you're live, your support doesn't stop. You have a UK-based help team for both your employees and HR admins, plus a named customer success lead who knows your account. Quarterly reviews and support around annual enrolment help you get the most from your platform.

Service level agreements (SLAs) are set out in your contract. We're happy to share them ahead of any commercial conversation.

FAQ: Employee benefits platform implementation

How long does FlexGenius implementation take? +

Implementation typically takes around 8 weeks, depending on project scope, configuration requirements and any integrations needed. Timelines can vary based on the size, complexity of your organisation and the quality of your data.

Can we customise the platform to our organisation? +

Yes. FlexGenius is flexible and customisable. You can tailor it to your workforce, priorities, benefits strategy and branding. Modules, communications and benefit areas can be adapted to suit different business needs.

Can we see the platform before committing to implementation? +

Yes. You can request a demo to see how the platform works, explore key features and discuss how FlexGenius could fit your organisation's needs before making a decision.

How do you support employee uptake at launch? +

 Our standard implementation includes launch comms templates, onboarding videos, the communication module and dedicated support.

What if we already have an employee benefits platform? +

That's not a problem. We regularly help organisations switch from another employee benefits platform, migrating your existing data and setup so the move is smooth. See how we did this for Crest Nicholson.

Can we add more benefits after launch? +

Yes. Many organisations start with a smaller selection of benefits and expand over time. As your organisation grows or your priorities change, you can add new benefits to the platform without starting the implementation process again.

Will employees experience any disruption during implementation? +

We plan implementation to keep disruption to a minimum, including scheduling data migration outside of your busiest periods. Employees can continue using their existing benefits while the new platform is being configured, and we'll work with you to ensure a smooth transition at launch.

Which HR and payroll systems do you integrate with? +

FlexGenius integrates with Ciphr HR, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and other major HRIS platforms. Our in-house technical team maps your specific integration requirements, including single sign-on, data feed, or upload, during implementation and builds a solution around what you already use.
