Benefits in a Card (BIC), a leading provider of comprehensive health and wellness benefits for the staffing industry, and Aqore, the all-in-one cloud-based staffing software solution, today announced a strategic API integration designed to streamline benefits administration while prioritizing unparalleled data security and operational efficiency.

This innovative partnership eliminates outdated flat-file transfers, replacing them with real-time, secure API connections that ensure sensitive employee data—such as health plan enrollments, onboarding details, and compliance records—is handled with the highest standards of protection. By leveraging Aqore’s robust security framework, including advanced AES-256 encryption, multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and ongoing security audits, the integration mitigates common data risks in staffing, such as breaches and unauthorized access. Staffing agencies can now confidently manage benefits for temporary and permanent workers, knowing their platforms adhere to stringent compliance standards like GDPR and HIPAA.

“At Benefits in a Card, we’re committed to boosting the bottom line for staffing firms by delivering affordable, high-quality benefits that attract and retain top talent, while increasing our Clients security standards” said Carl Stecker, CEO of Benefits in a Card. “This API integration with Aqore not only simplifies enrollment and administration but also revolutionizes data security, eliminating vulnerabilities associated with manual data handling.” Agencies using this integration will experience immediate coverage options, including over 140 tailored plans with unique perks like FreeRx.com prescription drug coverage, all while safeguarding employee information against emerging threats.

Aqore’s platform, renowned for its enterprise-grade security features, adds layers of protection through single-device login sessions, un-editable sensitive fields post-I-9 completion (e.g., SSN and DOB), and secure OAuth authentication for seamless access. This ensures that only authorized personnel can interact with critical data, reducing risks of internal breaches and supporting regulatory compliance. The integration also enables automated onboarding, where employee benefits data flows securely between systems, minimizing errors and enhancing efficiency.

“Data security is non-negotiable in the staffing industry, where sensitive personal information is handled daily,” said Steve Zipparro Chief Revenue Officer Aqore. “Our collaboration with Benefits in a Card builds on our proven integrations, like those with HRLogics and Kittrell Paycard, to deliver airtight security from end to end. With features like role-based access for multiple FEINs and regular security training for our team, we’re empowering agencies to focus on growth without compromising on protection.”

Key benefits of the integration include:

• Enhanced Security Protocols: Real-time data archiving to prevent loss or corruption, combined with advanced encryption and access controls to address top staffing data risks.
• Streamlined Operations: Automated API-driven workflows for benefits enrollment, reducing administrative burdens and ensuring compliance with features like secure servers and multi-factor authentication.
• Cost-Effective Compliance: Two-year rate guarantees on benefits plans, paired with Aqore’s flexible, cloud-based infrastructure that supports regulatory adherence without additional overhead.
• Improved Talent Attraction: Immediate access to behavioral health plans, virtual care, and other perks, all delivered through a secure mobile app experience.

This integration is now available to mutual clients of Benefits in a Card and Aqore, with rollout support including complimentary training sessions and dedicated implementation teams. For more information, visit www.benefitsinacard.com or www.aqore.com.
