Situation

In today’s fast-paced world, many employees experience financial stress. From paying monthly bills to pursuing significant financial goals, working professionals often struggle to save for the future, leaving them trapped in a cycle of debt and anxiety. This is where Purchasing Power steps in, transforming employees’ access to the things they need while promoting financial wellness.

Founded in 2001, Purchasing Power is a specialty e-retailer that offers a leading voluntary benefit program. This program allows employees to buy consumer products, vacation packages, and educational services without upfront payments, through manageable payroll deductions. Purchasing Power’s strong commitment to financial empowerment serves hundreds of clients and millions of employees, helping them achieve a better quality of life.

Struggles and Pains

Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, Purchasing Power has significantly expanded its employee base to enhance its mission and create a greater impact. However, managing employee lifecycle and identity provisioning processes manually led to several challenges for the IT team. In the absence of integration between ADP and Active Directory, Sysadmins had to manually update over 450 employee profiles. This process was not only tedious and error-prone but also consumed valuable time and resources. Consequently, delays in crucial tasks such as onboarding and offboarding resulted in new hires waiting for access to essential resources, while terminated employees retained access longer than necessary.

Since Purchasing Power holds sensitive data for many employees, it could not afford the security risks posed to its crucial data due to these manual processes and thus, started looking for the right solution to automate the whole process.
