Features of incentX

Transaction-Level Calculation Engine

The core of incentX automates incentive calculations by pulling data directly from ERP and CRM transactions. This ensures payouts are based on actual fulfilled sales, real product margins, and specific contract terms, not estimates or forecasts. It eliminates manual errors and provides a clear, auditable trail for every dollar paid, giving finance and sales leaders complete confidence in compensation accuracy.

Real-Time Forecasting & Visibility

Gain predictive control over incentive costs with forecasting powered by live transaction data. The platform allows teams to model future payouts by product, team, region, and rep based on actual order fulfillment and margin. This eliminates budget surprises and commission overpayments by providing finance with a real-time view of accruals and liabilities tied directly to business performance.

Custom Incentive Plan Designer

Design and launch complex, performance-driving incentive plans quickly using transaction-based templates. The tool allows managers to build plans tied to real revenue, margin, or other KPIs, test them against historical data, and deploy them with confidence. This reduces guesswork, ensures plans are realistic and impactful, and accelerates the plan launch cycle.

Unified Incentive Management Suite

Manage all incentive types—sales commissions, rebates, royalties, and chargebacks—from one integrated platform. incentX provides a holistic view across both buy-side and sell-side programs, all connected to the same transactional data. This breaks down operational silos, streamlines processes for multiple teams, and ensures consistency across the entire revenue program.

Use Cases of incentX

Automating Complex Sales Commissions

Replace spreadsheet models for sales teams with automated, transparent commission calculations. incentX uses actual transaction data from the ERP to calculate payouts based on real revenue, margin tiers, and product mix. This gives reps immediate visibility into their earnings, drastically reduces disputes, and frees up operations from manual end-of-month reconciliation work.

Streamlining Partner & Channel Rebate Programs

Manage complex rebate agreements with distributors and partners efficiently. By connecting to order management systems, incentX automatically tracks qualifying purchases, calculates rebate accruals in real-time, and generates accurate claims. This eliminates shadow accounting, ensures maximum rebate program ROI, and strengthens partner relationships with transparent, timely payments.

Ensuring Accurate Royalty Payouts

Calculate royalties with precision based on verified sales data instead of estimates. The platform automates royalty calculations from actual invoices and sales reports, ensuring licensors and licensees have a single, audit-ready source of truth. This simplifies compliance, prevents costly payment errors, and builds trust in royalty agreements.

Managing Vendor Chargebacks & Deductions

Gain full visibility and control over vendor chargebacks by matching every deduction to its originating transaction. incentX links chargebacks directly to specific invoices, returns, or compliance issues, providing clear rationale for each deduction. This streamlines the dispute resolution process, improves cash flow clarity, and strengthens vendor negotiations.
