Benefits Scattered Across Channels
Discounts and wellness offers were announced through emails, flyers and separate vendor portals with no single place employees could check.
Company-sponsored discounts, wellness offers and corporate perks were spread across flyers, one-off emails and vendor sign-up links employees rarely found. We designed and built an MVP marketplace that puts every approved benefit in one place, from initial concept to a validation-ready release.
Employers negotiate real value on behalf of their people, from wellness memberships to retail discounts, but that value is only useful if employees can find it. Without a shared place to look, offers get buried in old emails or forgotten entirely, and HR teams have no easy way to see what employees are actually engaging with.
The benefits marketplace brings every approved offer into a single connected experience, giving HR teams control over what is published while making it simple for employees across locations to discover and claim the benefits available to them.
Discounts and wellness offers were announced through emails, flyers and separate vendor portals with no single place employees could check.
HR teams had no consistent way to see which benefits employees actually noticed or redeemed, making it hard to plan future offers.
There was no existing platform to build on, so the marketplace, roles and redemption flow needed to be defined and validated from the ground up.
A benefits marketplace centered on easy discovery for employees and simple offer management for HR teams.
Employees browse discounts, wellness products and corporate offers already vetted and approved by their employer.
Access to specific benefits reflects each employee's role, location or tenure, so offers stay relevant to who sees them.
Employees claim a benefit in a few steps instead of hunting for a code or a sign-up link buried in old email.
HR administrators publish, update and retire benefit listings without depending on engineering support.
Employees explore benefits by category, such as wellness, retail or family offers, to find what matters to them faster.
HR teams see which benefits are being viewed and claimed, supporting better decisions about future offers.
We mapped how benefits were currently communicated to employees and where HR teams lost visibility.
Core employee and HR journeys were defined to keep the first release focused on discovery and redemption.
We designed a catalog experience employees could browse quickly, alongside a simple publishing flow for HR.
The marketplace was built iteratively and reviewed against real employee benefit scenarios before release.
The MVP launched as a single benefits destination ready for a first group of employees and HR administrators.
A well-scoped benefits MVP proves employees will actually use it before it proves the full catalog. Define the essential journey, build the core, and expand offers with evidence.
Employees and HR administrators each see only the actions and offer-management tools relevant to their role.
Every benefit listing carries a consistent record of eligibility, category and status, keeping the catalog reliable.
Redemption activity is tracked consistently, giving HR teams a dependable record of engagement over time.
The foundation supports adding new benefit categories and eligibility rules as real usage informs priorities.

Define the journey. Build the core. Let real employee usage validate the rest.
The benefits marketplace began with no existing platform and a set of perks employees struggled to discover. By focusing on the essential browse-and-redeem journey first, the MVP gave the organization a single benefits destination it could put in front of real employees and grow from with evidence.
“A benefit nobody finds delivers no value. Build the discovery and redemption path first, and let employee behavior show you which offers are worth expanding.
