Brian83, "This product has many benefits for the consumer'' would be 这个产品能为消费者带来很多好处。 "I can benefit this company' would be 我能为这个公司带来好处。 The main thing to remember with this word is who is the beneficiary. In other words, 带来好处/to benefit others or 得到好处/to benefit from.

Re the use of 座，it's a measure word for objects that are 'rooted' on the ground, which can also contain or 'host' people . For example, architectural constructions (temples, churches, skyscrapers) and 'constructions' of mother nature, e.g. mountains.
