Overview
QCommission enables you to quickly calculate commission, verify results and distribute this information to your inside reps, outside reps and other staff. You can present the commission information in such a way that the sales people clearly understand what they are being paid and why they are being paid at a very detailed level. Excel and manual calculations can introduce a lot of errors into your calculations and cause your sales people to lose trust in you. QCommission can help avoid that by calculating all commissions systematically and reliably.
Software firms' sales revenue is typically license fees, maintenance contracts and professional services. Occasionally one-time license fees can be substituted by periodic subscription fees on a contracted basis. Sales staff may include direct sales reps, account executives, sales support engineers and managers. Occasionally, external resellers and referral partners may also be involved.
Typical commission plans for these payees may include:
- credit sales by customer, territory or by deal
- pay different rates for different products and services
- Pay tiered rates based on quota attainment
- Pay declining commissions rates for contract years
- Royalty payments to third party products included in sales

Customer Testimonials
Creative Strategies Simplifies their Sales Commission Process with the Help of QCommission
Customer Profile
Creative Strategies is a leading innovator of medication and care management software solutions to optimize and error proof the shared process between caregivers and pharmacists in the senior care, assisted living, and corrections markets. Our solutions are widely adopted by some of the most well-respected assisted living and skilled nursing communities and correctional facilities across the country to ensure the highest levels of clinical excellence for their residents.
The Challenge
Manual methods of tracking and processing sales commissions take a considerable amount of time. Creating and/or editing spreadsheets with new data leaves little time to actually analyze the information or focus one’s time on other tasks needing to be completed. Utilizing a software developed specifically for recording, tracking, and reporting commissions dramatically decreases the amount of time spent per pay period processing commissions and ensures a better, more accurate, and efficient way of completing the task.
The Solution
After conducting a Request for Information (RFI), Creative Strategies selected QCommission as their software of choice. In collaboration with Creative Strategies, the QCommission team performed a needs analysis to ensure QCommission was the best fit for the company and was able to meet their needs. A requirements-based demo was presented to the Creative Strategies team, led by Vickie Sample, Corporate Controller, at which time the decision was made that QCommission was indeed the best fit and exactly what they were looking for.
Creative Strategies has been a satisfied QCommission user for the past six (6) months.
