Case Study: Gatherly achieves a scalable remote culture and automated employee perks with PerkUp

How Gatherly uses PerkUp to Scale their Remote Culture

Gatherly, a startup that recreates in‑person interactions through video conferencing, needed a way to scale culture and perks for a dispersed, remote team without the time‑consuming approval and expense reimbursement process. They partnered with PerkUp to provide a flexible employee perks platform — including Perk Cards and a Rippling integration — so employees could choose mental‑health and wellness benefits that match their individual needs while keeping the company’s remote culture intact.

PerkUp implemented an automated perks program with instant Perk Card access via Rippling and a self‑service platform for submitting perk ideas. In just two months Gatherly reported employees feeling more empowered and valued, faster onboarding with instant card access, elimination of manual approvals/reimbursements, and active use of purchases; PerkUp’s dashboard also gives Gatherly data on spend habits to inform future internal programs.
