Pros
I recently purchased Qcommission automated Commission software. It's been of great help for me, I was spending two days calculating all the commission for our Agents it was very consuming.
Since then, I simply enter my eft???s on Friday???s and the commission software will capture the commissionable income from Quickbook import it into the commission software
- It can be customized to suit your needs.
The best of all, once the commission is calculated for you it generates a commission statement for each agent and their company. Then it will export all the commission due, back into quickbook under your ???bills???, apply the bill payment and you are done. There is not double entry to be made (copying the results into Quickbooks software.
All you have to focus your energy on, is entering your eft???s when they first arrive. (Sales receipts)
I have so much time on my hands now, that I can focus more on expanding our business and recruiting.
Cons
I was a little intimidated at first with the software, I had never used any commission software before. It didn't take me long to get used to it. ( a week or two of commission processing)
Overall
This is an excellent software to work with. Made my life a lot easier. I save two days of work just by using this software.

Pros
Thanks to Chandru and the rest of the implementation team for getting my commission needs on track in a timely matter. The entire process was very seamless starting from my intial inquiry about the product. My intial salesperson Gopi, went over all the benefits and possible drawbacks (there were few) of the service and immediatly understood my needs. I felt very little pressure in purchasing, and Gopi was very patient becuase I did call him several times with questions making sure the product was a good fit for me. Once we signed on, I didn't have to repeat my needs all over again to the implementation team. They understood everything I needed, set everything up and I know I can call them if any issues arise in the future. I was also in a time crunch to meet a deadline and they were able to come through. Thanks for getting my commissions manageable, on track and on time.
Cons
none at the moment.

recommend highly for any sized business.

Pros
In our business we sell oil and gas related equipment and want to provide commissions based on the profitability of jobs. The commission is split between a number of outside and inside sales people depending upon the role of the sales person on the job. Commission is paid out based on the date final payment is received.
With QCommission we do some additional tracking up front for allocating commissions to the payee. When a final payment is received, the job is closed. We then import this data into QCommission. QCommission calculates the commission and allocates it to the individuals. We have certain items that are not commissionable and we add an extra calculation for shipping costs. From here, the calculations are exported to a spreadsheet that can be printed out for management and for the payees.
QCommission handles all of this complexity in a fraction of the time previously spent. It also provides us with commission reports for each payee and for management.
Cons
During the setup process we had a few glitches in setting up commissions. I was always able to get quick support to overcome these problems.
Overall
QCommission has saved us time and effort in calculating commissions. It is robust enough to handle complex allocations and calculations.

Overall
We highly recommend this product. Cellarstone's implementation and customer support teams are OUTSTANDING, quick to respond, and always find a resolution to our continual inquiries and changes. Thanks for being there for us!!!

Pros
This tool has been a lifesaver for our company. We have a very complicated commission structure (multiple tiers, time-based payouts, multiple plans, and more) and QCommission handles it all. Gone are the days of 20 tab cross-linked spreadsheets where one change can mean hours of recalculating, and Sales loves the new commission reports. Their customer service has also been excellent - I've been very impressed with their responsiveness and ability to stick to promises (such as the number of hours a job will take to complete).
Cons
Not the prettiest, most polished product.
Overall
There are prettier and more elegant options out there, but if are on a budget and you need something that gets the job done reliably, give QCommission a hard look - they are professional and so is their product.

Pros
Easy to use
Support has been extremely helpful in resolving issues
My commission person left unexpectedly and I was able (with help from support) to jump in and process the commissions without a problem
Accommodates all our plans
Reasonably priced
Cons
Web-based access for payees would be helpful
Improved reporting
Scenario planning based on historical data to improve/change commission plans year over year
Additional training to learn other elements of the system beyond the basics of what I know now.
Overall
QCommissions has been a great and affordable solution. We were previously using complex spreadsheets. QCommissions was a great next step for us. Implementation went well - they got us up and running and have been accommodating to our system changes. Barath - in particular - has been a vital resource to me in assisting me learn the software and make changes to accomodate our annual plan changes.

Pros
Pros include the fact that this application actually works and generates all commission reports accurately and in a timely manner.
Cons
The ability to make minor modifications to existing reports are not available to the end user without paying the development team at the cost prohibitive rate of $150 per hour. So long as it's that expensive to make changes to the canned reports, i suspect that the customers will be on the lookout for more versatile applications that are less expensive.
Overall
I quite like the application and am happy with my purchase.
