Introduction

Founded in 1984, CDW are a leading multi-brand provider of IT solutions to business, government, education and healthcare customers in the US, the UK and Canada.

We spoke to Jenny Machin, Payroll and Benefits Manager at CDW, to find out more about their experience of Zest.

CDW were looking for a benefits provider and platform which could help bring their offering into the 21^st century. Previously benefits had been recorded on spreadsheets, making it harder for employees to access and select their choices.

Owing to Zest’s relationship with Johnson Fleming, CDW partnered with us and after six months of onboarding, they finally had a fresh platform that could be utilised by their 1,700 workers.

What they say

"Having not had a platform before, the renewal process was made very easy. The positive attitude of the Co-workers was really rewarding. There wasn’t one comment that wasn’t extremely positive.

"It will save many hours of time having payslips available online and having the ability to access from your phone or tablet access from phone and iPad."
