A major company in the renewable energy sector was facing critical challenges in commission management for its large sales team, which includes over 1,000 internal and external salespeople. The complexity of different compensation plans, deductions, and variable targets led to frequent errors in commission calculations, impacting operational efficiency, team morale, and payment accuracy. To address these issues and improve transparency in commission management, the company decided to implement the commission tool developed by InterConnecta.
Â
Challenges The company’s sales team operated under diverse compensation structures, increasing the likelihood of errors in manual calculations. Additionally, the volume of data that had to be processed daily—such as sales, achieved targets, and project stages—was overwhelming for the finance team.
Â
Key challenges included:
- Complex manual calculations: Different compensation plans with bonuses and deductions led to errors.
- Lack of automation: The absence of an automated process hindered workflow and increased the risk of human errors.
- Limited visibility: Salespeople did not have real-time access to their commissions, which reduced trust in the system and affected motivation.
- Regulatory compliance: Manual management of tax withholdings increased the risk of tax errors and penalties.
Solution InterConnecta implemented a customized solution through its commission management tool. This system was fully integrated with Zoho CRM and other key systems, automating calculations and improving payment accuracy.

Key features of the solution included:
- Automation of complex calculations: Adapting to various compensation plans, the tool eliminated human errors, reducing processing time by 50%.
