As a fairly young company, Cantactix was unable to
secure a traditional group insurance plan from a leading
insurance carrier. Cantactix requested each employee set
up individual insurance policies that were reimbursed by
the company.
Larry Ellerton, CFO and co-owner of Cantactix,
was manually managing his payroll and benefits
administration by himself. Before using ADP, he
often spent four to five hours per week reconciling
and managing paper transactions and making
reimbursements online.
At the same time, as a brain cancer survivor, Mr. Ellerton
also had a keen appreciation of the importance of health
insurance and the well-being of his employees. When
one of his employees lost the health benefits they
were receiving through their spouse’s employer,
Mr. Ellerton knew it was time for a change.
To attract and retain employees with a more
competitive compensation plan and to
protect employees in the future, Cantactix
needed a way to reduce the amount of in-
house manual benefits administration
while providing comprehensive
benefits equal to or better than the
individual plans of each employee.
Business overview The challenge
Case Study
“Using ADP Insurance Solutions has given me back
two days a month I once spent processing payroll and
benefits by myself. Now I can spend that time focusing
on what matters – growing our business.”
- Larry Ellerton, CFO and co-owner, Cantactix Solutions Inc.

2. The solution
Cantactix Solutions started working
with ADP to relieve its payroll
administration burden. Cantactix
then extended this established and
trusted relationship with ADP to
relieve its manual, in-house benefits
management burden with ADP
Insurance Solutions.
ADP Insurance Solutions serves
small and medium-sized businesses,
like Cantactix, by providing them
with competitive health and benefits
solutions for their employees. It helps
clients provide group benefits and
insurance programs that cater to each
company’s needs and budget.
For Cantactix, ADP was able to
leverage its partnerships to design
a competitive benefits plan from
a leading insurance carrier. This
tailored healthcare coverage makes
for more satisfied employees with
a better understanding of their
benefits package. To make life easier,
administration is integrated with ADP
payroll services to save the company
time and money.
“The competitiveness of the ADP
Insurance Solutions proposal made it
easy for current employees to switch
over to the new plan. Some employees
were paying for individual plans
and what was being offered by ADP
was far greater than the combined
benefits packages at the time,” said Mr.
Ellerton. “Each of our employees was
asked to compare their individual plan
to the ADP offering and we found ADP
met or exceeded what was included in
their current plans.”
The outcome
In selecting ADP, Cantactix Solutions
is able to effectively provide a valuable
benefits package to its employees
while saving time and money that can
be directed back into the business.
With the insurance program
recommended by ADP, Cantactix is
now able to pay 100 per cent of the
premiums for health, dental, and life
insurance. Employees also have the
flexibility to use spending accounts
to personalize their benefits. Using
ADP Insurance Solutions effectively
reduced employee insurance costs by
20 per cent.
Switching to ADP also provided
significant time savings for Cantactix.
Two extra days per month were gained
from the time that was previously
spent processing payroll and benefits.
Mr. Ellerton is consequently free of
this administrative burden and able to
devote his valuable time to running the
business and serving clients.
Using ADP Insurance Solutions has
saved Cantactix precious time and
money while simultaneously helping
with the employees’ health and well-
being. Taken together, this strengthens
the company’s continuing success
in delivering quality products to its
customers.
