This project focuses on addressing ESD Solar’s challenges with manual commission tracking, which relied heavily on spreadsheets. The goal was to replace error-prone processes with an automated SPIFF (Sales Performance Incentive Fund) system, providing accuracy, visibility, and efficiency in commission management.

ESD Solar encountered significant challenges in tracking sales commissions through spreadsheets, which created inefficiencies, errors, and delays across the sales organization.
All commissions were calculated in Excel, increasing the risk of errors and consuming significant administrative time.
Sales reps received filtered spreadsheets and had to confirm their earnings, creating repetitive communication loops.
Reps had no real-time access to their commission status, resulting in uncertainty and frustration.
Final approvals from department heads often triggered additional corrections, extending timelines and reducing productivity.
To optimize sales performance and commission management, ESD Solar needed to overcome several key challenges:
To address these challenges, dgt27 designed and implemented a fully automated SPIFF commission system tailored to ESD Solar’s operations.
Commission accuracy significantly improved through automated data validation.
