Introducing the Bnchmrk API

Benefits consultants manage a lot of data. Client information lives in CRMs. Plan details sit in spreadsheets. Renewal timelines get tracked in project management tools. And then there's benchmarking—often a separate workflow entirely.

Today, we're making it easier to bring benchmarking into the systems you already use. The Bnchmrk API is now available.

What the API Does

The Bnchmrk API lets you integrate real-time benchmarking directly into your existing workflows. Submit plan data programmatically, retrieve benchmark comparisons, and generate reports—all without leaving your primary systems.

Key capabilities:

• Real-time data validation — Plan data gets validated against our compliance engine as it's submitted, catching errors before they become problems
• Benchmark retrieval — Query our dataset with custom peer group parameters and get structured results back instantly
• Report generation — Trigger client-ready exports programmatically for integration into your existing deliverables

Built for Integration

The API is designed to be system-agnostic. Whether you're running Salesforce, a custom-built CRM, or a benefits administration platform, you can connect to Bnchmrk.

Common integration patterns we're seeing:

• CRM integration — Auto-populate benchmarking data on client records as plan information is entered
• Renewal workflows — Trigger benchmark comparisons automatically when renewal season kicks off
• Client portals — Embed benchmarking insights directly into the portals you provide to employers

Eliminating Double Data Entry

One of the biggest pain points we heard from consultants: entering the same plan data in multiple places. You key it into your CRM, then re-enter it into benchmarking tools, then copy it into presentation decks.

With the API, data flows once. Enter plan details in your system of record, and Bnchmrk pulls what it needs automatically. No duplicate entry. No transcription errors. No wasted time.

Technical Details

The API uses REST conventions with JSON payloads. Authentication is handled via API keys with scoped permissions. Rate limits are generous enough to support batch operations while protecting system stability.

Full documentation is available in our developer portal, including:

• Authentication guide
• Endpoint reference
• Code samples in Python, JavaScript, and Ruby
• Webhook configuration for async operations
