Commission desk

Commissions worked out by code, approved by people.

  • Every sale matched to your commission plan, with the rate shown beside each amount.
  • Managers approve only the exceptions. Payroll gets one file.
  • Your plan, written down
  • Held until the contract is signed
  • Quoted once we've seen your plan
Example

A commission statement anyone can follow.

Staff see how each line was worked out. Managers see only what needs a decision.

What it does

From the sale to the paycheck, the same way every time.

Rates and holds follow your written plan, which your counsel should review. This is not legal advice.

Your plan as code

Rates, tiers, splits and what is not commissionable, written down with you and run the same way every pay period.

The rate beside every amount

Staff see each sale, the rule and the math, so pay questions are answered before anyone asks them.

Held until it's earned

A sale whose contract is not signed waits until it is. Refunds and cancellations follow your plan.

Managers approve exceptions

The rules decide routine lines. Managers see only the rest, one click each.

One file for payroll

Approved commissions by person, ready to load into your payroll system for the matching pay run.

Every decision on record

Who approved what, when, and under which version of the plan.

How it works

Your plan, then every pay period.

Connect

Sales from your booking or point-of-sale system, through the Data Engine, and your payroll system for the file.

Write the plan down

We write your plan into rules with whoever approves commissions today, and you approve them.

Check, then switch

It runs next to your current process until the numbers match. Then it takes over, and we maintain it.

It grew out of our operations automation work, and is included in Tempo Suite.

Questions

Which systems does it read sales from?

Your booking or point-of-sale system, through the Data Engine.

Can it handle our plan?

Tiers, splits between staff, rates by product or location, and caps. If your plan is written down, or can be, it can run as code. Anything the plan does not settle goes to a manager.

When is a sale held?

When your plan says it is not earned yet, such as an unsigned contract. Refunds and cancellations follow your plan too. The plan is yours, so have your counsel review it; this is not legal advice.

Does it replace payroll?

No. It sends approved commissions to your payroll system as a file for the matching pay run. Payroll stays where it is.

What does it cost?

A setup fee to write your plan into rules, then a monthly fee, quoted once we've seen your plan and how many people it pays.
