Case Study: ootBox builds a flexible benefits strategy with Take Command and Gusto

ootBox streamlines benefits for 7 employees with Take Command

ootBox, an Ohio-based startup that builds custom workspaces from shipping containers, faced the challenge of managing payroll and benefits without any prior experience. As a small business with a limited budget, they also needed a competitive way to retain and attract talent. They turned to vendor Take Command for a solution using a QSEHRA.

Take Command implemented a Qualified Small Employer HRA (QSEHRA), which allowed ootBox to provide employees with a monthly allowance for their individual health insurance premiums. This solution integrated seamlessly with their payroll system, Gusto, for easy reimbursement. The result was a friction-free benefits process that helped ootBox differentiate itself to attract new talent and increase employee retention without the need to raise salaries.
