Sales Commission Software

Handle any plan while providing the security, transparency, and accuracy that you need to make the program work.

Whether you are moving off manual spreadsheets, replacing a standalone incentive compensation management (ICM) tool, or expanding the comp tools you already use, Compose handles sales commission as part of one connected compensation program.

Commission Ran By Compose

Automation

Compose runs commission calculations, approvals, and accurate payouts on no-code logic you configure once. Manual work goes away, errors drop, and audit trails track every change to your commission process.

Transparency

Sales representatives and managers get real-time visibility into sales goals, how commission is calculated, and what they have earned. Fewer questions reach HR, and trust in the plan goes up.

Easy Integration

Compose connects your commission management to your HRIS, payroll, CRM, and ERP systems through standard APIs and data feeds. Sales, employee, and quota data stay in sync without manual exports.

Reporting & Analytics

Using Compose to manage your sales commissions gives you total control and access to all your information in one place.

Commission reporting is embedded with the rest of your compensation data, so you can report on commission by itself, or on commission together with salary, bonus, equity, and other pay components. Track your firm’s information the way you want to view it.

  • Include sales commissions on Compose total rewards statements
  • Or create separate commission-only employee statements
  • View aggregates and overviews of team performance
  • Drill down to the individual employee level
  • Build projections based on expected targets

Predictive Modeling

Plan changes to your sales commission program with confidence. Compose lets you model commission plans, quota assignments, and territory changes before you roll them out, so you can see the impact on payouts, attainment, and budget.

Use Compose to:

  • Run what-if scenarios on plan structure changes (acceleration tiers, kickers, threshold shifts)
  • Forecast commission liability against expected quota attainment and sales goals
  • Compare comp plan options side by side
  • Test quota assignments against historical performance data
  • Plan for new hires, territory realignment, or product launches

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Compose different from incentive compensation management (ICM) or sales performance management (SPM) software?

ICM and SPM platforms focus only on sales compensation and run as standalone systems. Compose manages sales commission and sales incentives alongside salary, bonus, equity, deferred compensation, and other pay programs in one platform. HR, Finance, and Compensation leaders get a single view of total compensation, which a sales-only tool cannot provide.

Yes. Compose supports tiered structures, accelerators, kickers, multiple quota types, basis-point calculations, step-scale and interpolated payouts, plan-level and individual overrides, and unlimited plan variations. Our team configures your specific rules during implementation.

Yes. Each rep gets secure, role-based access to their commission statements, including how each calculation was made, accelerators applied, and projected payouts based on current performance. This reduces questions to HR and helps reps trust the plan.

Implementation timelines depend on plan complexity and the number of systems being connected. Most clients are live within a single planning cycle. Our team handles configuration and works with yours to validate every part of the setup.
