Model Compensation Plans support what-if payout forecasts and help assess plan effectiveness. Sellers can access compensation statements, commission data, quota attainment, tiers, and AI-predicted sales and payout forecasts on demand and from any device. Automated workflows and an audit trail of plan changes support data accuracy and compliance. Listed data connections include Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, Workday API, Snowflake, REST API, SFTP and Google Sheets. Varicent provides web, API, Android and iOS access, and its customer apps give sellers access to platform reporting options. The company describes Incentives as serving growth-market and enterprise businesses, with customers ranging from mid-market to enterprises.
