Originally released in May 2005 as the first on-demand system for managing sales compensation, Compel continues to be the only solution to offer a complete on-demand platform for sales performance management. In addition to calculating commission and bonus earnings, the Compel platform includes native support for modeling, complex crediting, data integration, custom reporting and performance analytics; no third party add-on modules are needed to deliver on these core requirements. Compel offers sales, finance and HR professionals the most mature, affordable, complete and fully integrated solution for managing sales compensation and optimizing compensation programs to drive sales performance.
