Business challenges

  1. Implement a full-service HR platform that is cost-effective and would allow the organization to focus on other key areas of the company, such as business development


Key benefits for Innophos, Inc.

  1. Significant cost savings on medical insurance - 2% on one plan and 14% on another plan
  2. "For Auto Action, we approached the situation from a business development perspective. We knew that if we could provide Auto Action with the capability to conduct all of their HR processes under one centralized platform, it would enable them to grow their business," said Patrick Carragher, Vice President, CheckPoint HR Benefits Group
In 2003, Auto Action was faced with rising health care costs and sought a way to offset these expenditures, while also improving their payroll processes. In an attempt to automate their HR and benefits processes, Auto Action searched for a solution that could cover the full gamut - from benefits broker services to payroll/HRMS and 401k plans. A centralized platform to simplify these processes would allow the company to focus on other key areas, such as sales and business development. 


The Choice

Auto Action selected CheckPoint HR and CheckPoint HR Benefits Group in an effort to embrace a total solution to meet employee self-service, and core health care needs and manage costs. In addition, the company's former healthcare provider would not offer a renewal under a large market group. By identifying and targeting customer's needs, CheckPoint HR Benefits Group was able to perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis around Auto Action's situation and target employee benefit needs and budgetary requirements. To meet these needs, Auto Action selected two plans - a POSc as well as a HMOc - for its employees.

The Solution

At Auto Action, the company has deployed CheckPoint HR for all of its benefits administration needs – including medical, dental, disability, etc. In addition, Auto Action utilizes CheckPoint HR’s HRMS platform for payroll processing and reporting capabilities.

"The fact that we can handle all of our HR processes through one system is very important," said Jared Cohen, President of Auto Action Group. "What used to be a very time consuming process for us is now extremely easy. Not only are we able to handle payroll and benefits administration, but we can manage everything under one umbrella - from performance reviews to employee time-off to 401k programs." 

The Results

With the selection of CheckPoint HR Benefits Group, Auto Action has acknowledged significant cost savings. In June 2009, Auto Action recognized a 2% savings on one of its medical insurance plans, and a 14% savings on the other. In addition, the company has improved organizational efficiency by saving time and money in other areas.

"In a market where you would expect to find an increase in medical insurance costs, we were actually able to save money with CheckPoint HR," added Mr. Cohen. "As you might imagine, this was a very strong benefit for our company. In addition to the cost savings, the reporting functionality has been a key asset to us, as we have been able to produce managerial reports and cut down on our accounting fees."

"One of our goals at CheckPoint HR Benefits Group is to provide our clients with effective strategies to mitigate the steep costs of healthcare," said Patrick Carragher, Vice President, CheckPoint HR Benefits Group. "Jared Cohen and his team at Auto Action bring a strong discipline to the bottom line and success of the company."
