What CloudComp is
CloudComp is a Salesforce-native app for managing sales commissions, from calculations and quotas to payout files. It runs as a native Salesforce package without middleware or external SaaS systems, and inherits Salesforce controls such as SSO/MFA, permission sets, field-level security, and audit history. CloudComp Assistant provides real-time commission guidance, while CloudComp Statement presents live trends and period breakdowns. Plans can include multiple tiers, team quotas, year-to-date attainment, and bonuses tied to revenue, margin, quantity, or custom metrics. Payment schedules can be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or custom, with recoverable and non-recoverable draws. The system can record clawbacks for cancellations, de-bookings, refunds, or downgrades, with audit trails and optional approvals. It also creates configurable payment export files for payroll or accounts payable. Each install includes a functional 30-day evaluation, with no credit card required for installation.
