One year on from the merger of Perkbox and Vivup, the unified platform showcases the strengths of both organisations
London, 9 September 2025 – Perkbox, formerly the Perkbox Vivup Group, announces the launch of the UK’s first fully unified employee experience app. This marks a major milestone in the sector, building on the best of the legacy Perkbox and Vivup products to create a single seamless platform designed to ensure every employee feels valued. The company also unveils its new single brand, Perkbox.
When Perkbox and Vivup merged in July 2024, the aim was to bring together two strengths under one business: Vivup’s trusted heritage in public sector benefits and wellbeing, and Perkbox’s technology-led perks and recognition. Today’s launch, according to Perkbox, delivers on that commitment.
The fully unified Perkbox platform delivers clear value for both employers and employees. For organisations and their HR teams, it means one place to manage everything, with less complexity, and more impact for the same investment. For employees, it means easier access to wellbeing support and perks they will use and value every day.
Over the past year, the merged business team has introduced enhancements across key areas, alongside an improved design and upgraded experiences for both users and administrators.
The enhancements include more choice of benefits and everyday discounts, as well as 11 salary sacrifice benefits, including a seamless experience of Vivup’s signature Home and Electronics and Cycle to Work schemes. Now, employees can order directly through the app, and without using vouchers. Additionally, health and wellbeing benefits (including the employee assistance programme and online GP) are now combined. Perkbox’s flagship app (recently recognised by G2 for Highest ROI in Enterprise and Fastest Implementation) also gains new enhancements, including a cashback scheme with easy payment methods like Apple and Google Pay, and an advanced budget management tool.
Launching ahead of the festive season, when financial pressures peak, the platform ensures employees can access savings and support that matter most in the current climate.
Doug Butler, CEO of Perkbox, said:
“Under our “new”, but recognisable, single brand name of Perkbox, we are excited to be introducing our unified platform leveraging the proven, market leading benefits, wellbeing and engagement solutions of our legacy businesses.
“Through one innovative platform and associated mobile app we will provide our clients unique solutions for their people that are accessible, impactful, used and useful.”
Ankur Sharma, Chief Product Officer, Perkbox, added:
“This launch is just the start. We are listening closely to our clients and using their feedback to shape what comes next. Our focus is on continuous innovation. We are bringing new capabilities and smarter experiences to the platform so that it keeps evolving to meet the changing needs of organisations and their people.”
From today, the fully unified Perkbox platform is available to new clients. Existing clients will be supported through a smooth transition, ensuring continuity and meaningful engagement for their people. Our mission is simple: every employee should feel valued.
