Why I Built SimpleFringe

I spent 13 years at GSA National — five as President — working alongside hundreds of government contractors on Service Contract Act (SCA) Health & Welfare compliance. During my tenure, we maintained a 97% client retention rate and earned Great Place to Work Certification three consecutive years.

Along the way, I gave 75+ presentations and webinars on SCA compliance, served as a panelist in the Professional Services Council's two-day SCA training, spoke at events with the National Small Business Government Contractors Association, was an SCA expert guest on the Game Changers for Government Contractors podcast, contributed as a subject matter expert to The Pulse of GovCon, and fielded compliance questions from contractors of every size.

Through all of that, I saw the same problems come up over and over: contractors relying on spreadsheets that couldn't handle multi-contract employees, missing rate changes because nobody tracked DOL updates, and getting hit with back-pay penalties they never saw coming.

The Problem Nobody Was Solving

The options for small contractors were terrible. You could hire an expensive Third-Party Administrator (TPA) that eats into your margins, or you could manage compliance yourself with spreadsheets and hope for the best. The TPAs serve large contractors. The spreadsheets fail at scale. Nobody was building software purpose-built for the small contractor who manages their own compliance.

Built by Someone Who's Been There

SimpleFringe is the tool I wished existed during my years at GSA National. It tracks H&W obligations automatically, calculates pro-rated benefits for multi-contract employees, alerts you when DOL publishes new rates, and generates the reports auditors actually ask for.

This isn't built by a software company that read about SCA compliance. It's built by someone who trained contractors on it, spoke about it on national stages, and lived it for over a decade.
