Customer Story
A German Luxury Automobile Brand Automates Sales Incentives with Xoxoday Compass, Achieving 90% Automation and 99.9% Accuracy
Challenges
As the luxury brand expanded its portfolio of sedans, SUVs, and electric vehicles, the volume and complexity of its incentive programs grew exponentially. However, the underlying systems used to manage incentives remained outdated.
- Excel-heavy workflows created accuracy issues: Sales reps depended on region-level teams for spreadsheet-driven calculations. Small data-entry mistakes often snowballed into inaccurate payouts, causing mistrust across franchises.
- Fragmented dealership systems created data silos: Each of the 33 franchises maintained its own booking, delivery, and incentive-tracking processes. There was no unified view of sales performance or incentive qualification.
- Approval chains slowed payouts significantly: Commission approvals required sequential validations from dealership heads, regional sales teams, and finance teams. This often added weeks to the payout cycle.
- Lack of real-time visibility demotivated sales teams: Sales executives had no consistent way to track payout eligibility or progress against targets. Low transparency led to disengagement and reduced accountability.
- Inability to scale with new product lines: As the brand introduced EVs and performance models, incentive structures grew more complex. The legacy process could not support varied incentive logic or fast campaign rollouts.
The leadership recognized that the friction caused by these challenges was directly impacting morale, accuracy, and the brand’s ability to reward high performance consistently.
Personas Involved
- Regional Sales Directors
- Dealership Principals and Territory Heads
- Sales Executives and Field Representatives
