Callidus Software has unveiled its Callidus Commissions Manager solution. Commissions Manager is a 100% native Force.com solution that delivers a compelling, easy-to-use application that can be rapidly deployed and can help companies drive adoption of Salesforce CRM. The solution enables sales professionals to manage commissions and claims as part of their day-to-day opportunity management. Callidus Commission Manager is now available on the AppExchange at www.salesforce.com/appexchange.

"Sales reps and managers always want immediate access to the latest information on their performance. Callidus Commissions Manager delivers just that," said Kendall Collins, chief marketing officer at salesforce.com. "Built on the Force.com cloud computing platform, customers can get Callidus Commissions Manager via the AppExchange with just a few clicks."

Callidus Commissions Manager is a self-service solution. It lets companies quickly create and deploy sales commission plans that include sales quotas and rates, and on-target-earnings. This allows companies to pay commissions based on transactions or on period-to-date attainments. The solution allows sales representatives to review opportunities that have closed, initiate claims for credit and payment, and track the status and amounts of paid and pending commissions. Sales representatives can also preview projected commissions based on their pipeline.

"Customers are looking to incorporate sales performance into the daily routines of their sales force to drive sales effectiveness. Commissions Manager is designed just for that," said Lorna Heynike, senior vice president of marketing at Callidus Software. "This application works as an easy on-ramp to sales performance management. It helps boost sales productivity by providing quick access to commission projections, claims and disputes, even via mobile devices. This saves precious sales time and ensures sales reps gain transparency and confidence in the system."

Commissions Manager empowers sales managers by putting relevant, up-to-date commissions status at their fingertips. It provides intuitive and comprehensive roles-based dashboards that give them the most relevant information such as their top performers, and projected compensation. Sales representatives can use their dashboards to track metrics such as their year-to-date attainment, payouts over time and the status of their requests.

In addition, the solution can be used with Callidus Plan Communicator, available on the AppExchange. Plan Communicator expedites the sales plan communications and approval process with the ability to effectively and accurately communicate sales plans and contract plans to appropriate field organizations.
