QCommission Integration with Magento

Overview

The calculation of commissions is a very complex problem, yet most of companies use highly manual processes to do the work. With more industry standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley Act, HIPPA, PCI etc., the extensive usage of an automated sales commission system has become an essential part of the today’s business. With the QCommission application, we can eliminate the complex problem of calculating sales commissions. For sales people, nothing is more important than earning a commission for their sales performance. Sales people work hard to close their sales and expect to get their sales commissions accurately and on a timely basis.

For sales people, nothing is more important than earning a commission for their sales performance. Sales people work hard to close their sales and expect to get their sales commissions accurately and on a timely basis.  

They expect the calculations to be accurate based upon the agreed upon compensation plans. They need transparent and detailed statements that explain the basis of every calculation.

Most sales people would agree that they do not get a clear and correct commission statement. Compensation plans are by their nature complex. The data needed to calculate the plans is not always available from a single source, the plans change on a regular basis and there are exceptions to the exceptions. Sales people get their sales commissions typically weeks after the period is over. Frequently the crediting and calculations are incorrect. As a result, the commission statements are not clear and obvious. They have no idea how they are getting paid, or waste time trying to figure out what they should get paid. Companies and sales people must deal with compensation litigations for paying less or paying over the expected results.

QCommission is a powerful, flexible sales commission software tool. It calculates sales people's compensation accurately and quickly. QCommission is integrated with Xero but can also be operated stand- alone.

Customer Testimonials
"The QCommission team did an excellent job at handling our needs for a new sales commissions program. They took the time to review our initial needs for the program and then worked with us until we resolved all the "if this, then that" issues we were working with. The program uploads to QuickBooks and automatically does the calculations. You are then able to do adjustments, if necessary, and export very professional reports and e-mail them. We are extremely pleased with the QCommission team and highly recommend them “.
