This unique shopping platform gives TriNet's more-than-10,000 clients a direct, free and powerful sales channel to approximately 288,000 worksite employees of TriNet clients.[1] At the same time, these worksite employees can benefit from exclusive, pre-negotiated rates and discounts for top consumer brands and products.
Benefits for TriNet Clients
At TriNet Marketplace, companies can offer and sell their products to TriNet's entire base of worksite employees. Marketplace also helps small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) reduce their out-of-pocket costs by offering them attractive discounts on a broad range of professional goods and services, including travel, printing, marketing and much more.
Benefits for Employees of TriNet Clients
The employees of TriNet's clients can shop for a broad array of consumer-focused promotions on TriNet Marketplace. Here, they can quickly find and buy quality goods and services, often at attractive discounts.
- Examples of Benefits for TriNet Clients and Employees
In 2014, a TriNet client needed to purchase 20 new Apple laptops. Using the TriNet Marketplace Apple promotion, they were able to save $207 per laptop, for a total savings of over $4,000.[2] - The employee of a TriNet client based in New York decided to take her family of four on a vacation to Los Angeles. Using TriNet Marketplace, she was able to find deals on airfare, hotels, car rentals and several theme parks, including Disneyland and Six Flags. This employee was able to save over $650 on her five-day family getaway.[3]
