Case Study: Brightwheel achieves better benefits and simpler open enrollment with Rippling and Sequoia

Brightwheel - Customer Case Study

Brightwheel, a childcare management software company with about 520 employees across 10+ states, needed a better way to support a fast-changing, fully remote workforce. The team wanted more competitive benefits backed by strong benchmarking data and expert guidance, while also reducing “portal fatigue” by avoiding a jumble of separate systems for benefits, payroll, and employee self-service. Brightwheel already used Rippling for HCM and workforce management, and was looking to simplify open enrollment through a more connected experience.

Rippling, integrated with Sequoia for benefits brokerage, gave Brightwheel access to rich benchmarking data, expert advisory support, and a smoother benefits administration process. Sequoia helped the people team identify best-fit plans and advise on benefits strategy, while Rippling handled employee enrollment, open-enrollment tracking, reminders, and self-service in one place. The result was faster, more confident benefits decisions, less admin work for the people team, and a better employee experience with a single platform for benefits, pay, and other HR needs.
