Commission calculation can be difficult. And there are so many people to get upset if it doesn’t calculate properly.

Some of our clients shared with us how CAL has helped them set up systems to streamline commission calculation:

  • Kerri Tiano, Financial Operations Manager, Crown Maple:

“The commission report was something that took me a bare minimum of 3 hours a month when I started. I had no idea what I was doing with it, and it was all manual. Every bit of it that I did was manual, and it was painful. So then I called CAL to see what they could do for me, and they were able to create this report, and literally, it takes me 10 minutes now. Ten minutes. It’s a couple of clicks, it’s done, I get the guys their commissions, they’re happy, we’re happy. It can’t be better.”

  • Rich Larkin, Director of Operations, Innovative Medical Products:

IMP needed a way for their 35 outside sales reps to be able to see their commission data on a real-time basis. In the past, checks were mailed out monthly with a consolidation report to show how their commissions were calculated, and a second report of new invoices that came into the system. It took one IMP employee a solid three days each month to print, sort, staple, stuff, and mail the 500+ pages.

Rick Larkin, an experienced Microsoft Dynamics GP user, decided to build an online portal using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).  The sales reps now receive their checks electronically via ACH transfer, then securely log into the online site to see how their checks were calculated. “Microsoft Dynamics GP is so flexible. The SSRS report was up and running in about a week,” says Larkin.
