Do you need software to automate a unique commission plan — a complex plan custom tailored to your marketing strategy? Do you need the flexibility that once came only in software designed for thousands of salespeople, but in a package practical for a smaller sales force?

Then you need CommissionCalc.

Traditional rule-driven commission software does a good job for [more] [less]
a large company with a large sales force and a six figure software budget. However, high implementation cost and software license fees, plus complex operating procedures, make it unsuitable for companies with a moderate-sized sales force.

Similarly, fixed-function commission software works well for [more] [less]
its intended user — a company with a commission plan it can handle. However, its hard-coded rules make it unsuitable for companies with a complex, unique plan or a plan with many exceptions.

Occasionally vendors of fixed-function software will offer to modify their source code to compute a commission plan that the standard product cannot handle. They may claim that this is the same as having rule-driven software. However, this is far from the case; it actually results in a form of custom software. That is because you will not be able to use new versions of the commission software, and probably won't be able to use new versions of your accounting software, unless you buy an additional custom source code modification for each update. With rule-driven software, in contrast, version updates generally do not require manual rule changes.

At one time your only alternative to these two options, aside from custom software, was to compute commission manually in spreadsheets. Now, CommissionCalc allows you to eliminate the human error [more] [less] inherent in that method, while saving time and creating easy-to-understand commission reports. Because of its rapid implementation and affordable license fees, the cost is practical, while its rule-driven design provides open ended flexibility which fixed-function software cannot approach.

“Commission Calc has been invaluable in assisting our company with a most complex commission plan. It lets us use a sliding commission based on discount levels for each product sold, while implementing other rules too numerous to mention. The program offers great flexibility and we appreciate the excellent customer service that is always readily available.”
