CommissionCalc Standard & CommissionCalc Plus
CommissionCalc is available in two versions: Standard and Plus.
[more]
[less]
Both provide the same ability to automate virtually any commission plan and to report the results in a format
that suits your needs. To this, CommissionCalc Plus adds:
-
The ability to automatically email the results to your salespeople, managers, and others
-
Advanced Parameter Table Maintenance, which makes it easier to enter new rules and checks them for accuracy
-
Role-based security

Included & Custom Templates
CommissionCalc uses a template to specify your commission rules.
[more]
[less]
A software license includes templates which automate many common
commission rules. However, CommissionCalc can also use a custom template to accommodate unique requirements, and about ninety percent of CommissionCalc users take
advantage of the flexibility this provides.
Maintenance & Support Contracts
[more]
[less]
Annual maintenance & support contracts include all software updates. Also, FTI will provide as much consulting, as required at no additional
charge, provided that the consulting is in support of CommissionCalc. Troubleshooting errors caused by incorrect client data or hardware, networking, or
software problems not cause by CommissionCalc are not included. Training (including repeat training for additional employees) and answering questions is
included. Template changes are available to clients with a contract, and can be charged on an hourly or fixed-price basis.
The annual price is 15% of the software license plus a template-support charge based on the complexity of the template: $250 for a standard template,
$500 for a basic custom template, and $750 for an advanced custom template. The difference between a basic and an advanced custom template is that
the former has none of the following: custom code longer than 250 lines; custom queries; plug-in interfaces; or invoice interdependencies such as quotas.
(Some types of single-period quotas are an exception, permitted in basic templates. Call FTI for details.) If more than one template is supported,
the charge will apply to each template.
Contract starting January 2011 or earlier will retain the terms in effect when they started and will be upgraded to the terms above when renewed.
Other Terms

Prices are subject to confirmation by FTI and to the terms of FTI's purchase agreement. Exact Macola ES is available only in Enterprise
Edition.
Return on Investment
The calculator below computes how fast you will recover an investment in automating commission. Enter your numbers in the white boxes and the result will be displayed
in the blue ones, with the final results at the bottom.
Most companies find that the primary benefits are labor savings and improved accuracy. Calculating labor savings
is straightforward (although it is easy to forget "shadow accounting," the time salespeople spend checking their commissions.)
However, the benefit of improved accuracy often exceeds expectations. Since:
|
 |
Error rates when computing complex commission manually are typically 2% to 5% |
|
|
Recipients are better at finding underpayments than overpayments |
|
|
Most companies underestimate their error rate |
The cash benefits are often much more than expected, and frequently exceed all other benefits combined.
