The Challenge
The organization faced several operational and engagement issues in managing commissions:
- Disputes & Delays: Manual reconciliation of data from siloed CRM systems caused frequent payout errors and escalations.
- High Administrative Overhead: Manual calculations and validations created inefficiencies, added costs, and slowed processing.
- Lack of Visibility: Employees had no clear view of how incentives were calculated, reducing trust and engagement.
The Solution
Compass was implemented to centralize, automate, and standardize commission management:
- CRM Integration: Synced with legacy banking CRM and Salesforce to unify and streamline data inputs.
- Digitized Commission Rules: Complex tier-based and product-specific commission logic automated within Compass.
- Personalized Dashboards: Embedded dashboards in the employee portal allowed RMs to track earnings, deal status, and targets in real time.
The Results
- 90% reduction in commission-related errors and disputes
- $120,000 annual savings from reduced manual processing and administrative effort
- Improved employee satisfaction and trust, leading to better retention of high-performing RMs
