AmandaGrounded in how Keel connects
Do you work with my payroll & HRIS?
Almost certainly. Keel reads census directly from 200+ payroll and HR systems, and anything else that exports a census maps in about two minutes.
- 200+ systems read directly
- Any CSV, mapped by the AI automapper
- No template to fill in first
Connect anything. Upload everything.
Bring your census however it lives today. Keel meets it where it is: a live connection, a spreadsheet, or a continuous sync.
Any CSV or spreadsheet, in any format. The AI automapper matches your columns for you. No template to fill in first.
New hires and terminations flow through continuously, so the roster is never stale not a one-time import.
Drop a census here, or map a sample. Any format, any headers: the AI automapper reads it.
No template, no lock-in. Any census format in through the AI automapper, any ben-admin shape out. Keel adapts to your stack, never the reverse.
Every election lands where it belongs. The carrier, and payroll.
Keel captures each election and drives it to the two places that matter: the carrier, so coverage is real, and payroll, so the deduction is exact on every paycheck. Your ben admin transmits it, or Keel does directly (EDI 834, in build).
Where every election lands
- Carrier: coverage active, validated against plan & tier rules
- Payroll: the exact per-paycheck deduction, to the cent
- Dependents deduped and matched; columns shaped for your ben admin
- 431 rows, 0 errors, upload-ready
It keeps moving all year. New hires, terms, life events.
Enrollment isn’t one day. A new hire, a termination, a qualifying life event. Keel catches each one, re-runs eligibility, and updates the carrier and payroll in its window. Pick one and watch.
Your HR system adds them; Keel sees it on the next sync. They get an enrollment link, make their picks, and the election flows into the next bundle. No re-keying, no ticket.
A termination flows in the same way. Keel flags the effective date, ends coverage cleanly, and drops them from the next bundle. Nothing left dangling.
The entire census enrolls together. Keel validates every election against plan and tier rules, catches the gaps, and hands your ben admin one file: 431 rows, zero errors.
No template to conform to. The AI automapper reads whatever you have (merged headers, five tabs, m/d/yy dates), proposes the mapping, and you confirm in one pass.
Nothing downstream? Keel becomes the ben admin: plans, eligibility rules, elections, dependents, the whole year in one place. Carrier transmission via EDI 834 is in build.
Run alongside your ben admin. Or become it.
Keel fits the ben admin you already run, and, when you’re ready, it can be the ben admin itself. Same engine, your choice of where the elections live.
Alongside your ben admin
Keep everything you run.Keel runs enrollment and hands your Employee Navigator one clean, validated file. The ben admin transmits to carriers and runs payroll downstream. Change nothing else.
Keel as your ben admin
Make Keel the system of record.Plans, eligibility rules, elections, dependents, life events: the whole year, in one place. And with EDI 834 (in build), Keel transmits to carriers directly. No separate ben-admin tool.

The questions, before you ask.
Will this work with what we already run?
Almost certainly. Keel reads from 200+ payroll and HR systems, and anything that can export a census connects through the AI automapper. In three years of asking, nobody has stumped it yet.
Our system is old and weird. Honestly, will it map?
Send the file you already have, in whatever shape it is. The automapper reads your columns, proposes the mapping, and you confirm it. Most files map in one pass, weird ones included.
Do we have to change how we work today?
No. Your HR system stays the system of record and your ben admin stays your ben admin. Keel reads from the first and hands a clean, validated file to the second.
What actually reaches the carriers?
Your ben admin transmits to carriers exactly the way it does today, just from a cleaner file. Direct carrier transmission is in build for groups that run Keel as the ben admin itself.
How long before employees can enroll?
Connect an HR system in a click, or upload a census in minutes. Most groups are ready to enroll the same day the documents arrive.
