Submission declined on 12 December 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for organizations and companies. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like product launches, staff appointments, or financial reports and listings in databases or listicles; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Pythoncoder 8 months ago.

Bentek is an American software as a service (SaaS) company headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, that provides benefits administration and enrollment software exclusively for public sector employers. The company serves the state, local, and education (SLED) market, offering a cloud-based platform designed to manage employee benefits for municipalities, county governments, school districts, and state agencies across the United States.^[1]

Bentek was founded in 2006 by Kurt Gehring, a public sector insurance and benefits specialist who also serves as National Practice Leader for Public Entities at Risk Strategies, an insurance consulting and brokerage firm. Gehring founded the company with the purpose of creating a benefits administration tool built specifically for public sector organizations, informed directly by the HR administrators, benefits coordinators, and payroll professionals who would use it.^[2]

The company was established in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and grew to serve hundreds of government and education employers nationally. Julie Fink serves as President of Bentek.^[3]

In November 2025, Bentek announced a strategic partnership with Software Solutions Inc. (SSI), a provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and human capital management solutions for local governments and utilities, to deliver integrated HR, payroll, and benefits administration for public sector clients.^[3] That same month, Skyward—a K–12 school administration software company—expanded its partnership with Bentek to enable bidirectional data synchronization between the two platforms, simplifying benefits administration for school districts.^[4]

In March 2026, Bentek was named a Winner in the Lighthouse Tech Awards in the category of Best Analytics, Measurement, and Business Impact Solution, presented by Lighthouse Research & Advisory in partnership with UNLEASH.^[5]

Bentek's platform is a cloud-based SaaS solution purpose-built for the operational requirements of public sector HR teams. The platform supports:

• Benefits enrollment – guided open enrollment workflows for employees and retirees
• ACA and HIPAA compliance – automated tracking and reporting for Affordable Care Act obligations
• Retiree administration – eligibility tracking, invoicing, and benefits management for retired public employees
• HR and payroll integrations – bidirectional data exchange with ERP, HR, and payroll systems
• Analytics and reporting – configurable dashboards and audit tools for benefits administrators
• Employee communications – plan comparison tools, summary benefit comparisons (SBCs), and enrollment confirmation^[1][3]

The platform incorporates more than 5,000 configurable business rules to accommodate the varied bargaining unit structures, retirement tiers, and regulatory requirements common in municipal and educational organizations.^[6]

Bentek operates exclusively within the state, local, and education (SLED) segment of the public sector, distinguishing itself from general-purpose HR software providers. The company's clients include city and county governments, K–12 school districts, higher education institutions, and state agencies. Notable clients include the Government of the United States Virgin Islands, for whom Bentek completed a benefits administration transformation across multiple government agencies within four months.^[6]

Bentek maintains the following security and compliance certifications:

• SOC 2 compliance
• HIPAA A+ rating
• GovRAMP Certification Program participant, a government-focused cybersecurity framework for cloud service providers^[7]

Bentek has received several industry recognitions:

• 2024 5-Star Technology and Service Provider – Insurance Business^[1]
