Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our entire company relies on Xactly Incent to track our performance against annual goals and quotas. With Xactly Incent, we can see how we are doing toward our goals and rewards throughout the quarterly and years, and we use it to manage and adjust our daily actions to reach our business objectives. Xactly Incent makes it easy to track and calculate monthly sales, quickly process payments, and give weekly incentive statements to sales representatives. It made our sales team's commissions more transparent and more accessible for them to follow daily, all while reducing the amount of time and work we'd otherwise have to spend manually calculating commissions in Excel.

Tammy Hickman

Director of Sales Compensation in Human Resources at Sunflower Bank (1001-5000 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have migrated most of our sales plan participants to Xactly Incent for their incentive calculation and reporting. Previously, all of our calculations were done manually in Excel. This left us vulnerable to human error and incorrect incentive payments. We also used to email the individual incentive statements to each participant. This was another risk of sharing confidential information with the wrong person. Xactly Incent has eliminated both of these risks for our company.

Pros

Built specific to our needs. We don't have to change our plans to fit their box.
Handles large quantities of data with no issue.
Gives participants progress to goals to keep them motivated.

Cons

Giving more than one manager access to view a participant's data. For dual reporting employees.
Would like more flexibility with the Standard Incentive Statement.
Easier process for setting up the new year.
The drill down function to get to the detailed data is limited to 20 standard columns. Would like it to be customizable by component.

Return on Investment

Being about to see their progress towards goals is motivating participants to do more.
Stack ranking reports allow participants to see how they are performing compared to their peers. Creating some competition among the sales team.
More accountability of sales team to perform. No more excuse of I didn't know I was behind goal.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Xactly Incent® is good tool to handle the bulk data . good at plan document routing. It handle calculations and shows statements in detail. But it fail at reporting part. Building the custom report is big task need to do back and fortth with Xactly Incent® consultant. It is not flexible in terms of statement view modification. and plug in with other applications. AI capabilities are missing in it. However itis good tool for any organization having bulk data to process.

Pros

detailing on statement

Cons

Configuration part could be made easier. so that Admin will not require consultant's help whenever there is change
Sequencing of batch processing gives trouble many times. if we miss to allign correct sequence at the time of batch processing
building a report is bit complex job in Xactly Incent®compared to other tool in market.

Return on Investment

multiple teams use it for performance check for their sales rep
sometimes sales rep complains about statement detailing. View/ presentation can be modified per market requirement
sales ops has less visibility on handling the reports.
