Fully Native to Salesforce

CloudComp is a 100% native Salesforce package. Install it once and it behaves like any Lightning app — but works like a plugin that instantly extends your org into a sales performance management engine. No middleware, no external SaaS systems no new logins or integration hassles.

  • Uses standard Salesforce concepts (objects, custom metadata, permission sets).
  • Feels familiar in Lightning App Builder and Setup.
  • Your comp plans live with your Accounts, Opportunities, and Users—right where your team already works.

Because CloudComp runs inside your Salesforce org, your data stays on platform and inherits your security model — SSO/MFA, Profiles & Permission Sets, Field-Level Security, Audit History, and (where enabled) Shield encryption. Deployment options include Salesforce Government Cloud environments, so the same on-platform controls that your security team already trusts apply to CloudComp too.

  • No extra vendors to vet, no new data residency questions.

  • Admins keep full visibility and control over access and change management.

  • Aligns with your existing compliance posture by staying native.

Turn ideas into action the day you have them. CloudComp’s native app/plugin model lets comp admins approve AI-recommended tweaks—new spiffs, limited-time specials, or plan nudges—and publish them immediately. Reps see updates in Salesforce in real time in CloudComp Assistant, helping them to stay motivated and sell what matters most to your bottom line.

  • AI suggests changes from current pipeline and performance trends
  • Admins review, adjust, and launch in clicks—no separate platform or vendor cycle
  • Spiffs/specials surface instantly in Salesforce where reps work (desktop + mobile)
  • Optional A/B-style comparisons to see which incentive approach actually moves the needle

Legacy SPM tools (e.g., Spiff, Xactly) live on separate platforms you have to buy, connect, and maintain. CloudComp is a Salesforce-native app/plugin, so everything happens on your CRM—live data, live payouts, less overhead.

  • No export/import loops or external sync windows
  • Lower cost and complexity—fewer moving parts
  • A modern, self-service approach legacy platforms don’t offer

Personalized Real-Time Commission Insights

Your on-platform copilot for commission clarity. The Assistant turns live Salesforce data into plain-English nudges—“You’re 82% to Tier 2; close $14,500 to unlock 1.2×.” It also surfaces time-boxed spiffs and specials so reps know exactly what to do next.

  • Real-time prompts inside Salesforce (desktop & mobile)

  • Highlights spiffs/specials that apply to this rep, right now

  • Admin-controlled and permission-aware (native app/plugin)

A clear, real-time view of commissions—by period. Statement shows your trend over the fiscal year and a simple breakdown of the selected month/period by tier, so reps and managers see where earnings come from at a glance. It automatically formats to each user’s currency and locale.

  • Live trend by month/period with simple back/forward controls

  • Instant breakdown of the period (e.g., base vs. accelerators)

  • Locale & currency aware; trustworthy at first look

Everyone gets the view that matters to them. Reps see progress and next milestones; managers see team pacing and coaching moments; finance sees exceptions and payout readiness—all in Salesforce, all in real time.

  • Role-based tiles for reps, managers, and finance

  • Attainment, tiers, accelerators, and spiffs at a glance

  • One platform, not two—native app/plugin simplicity

Multi-Currency +
Dated FX Support

CloudComp is a native Salesforce app/plugin that honors Multi-Currency and Advanced Currency Management. We use your dated conversion rates to value deals and commissions as of the period (or close date), so past months don’t “recompute” when FX changes.

  • Trust the same FX tables your org already maintains

  • Period-accurate results that won’t shift after the fact

  • Roll up cleanly to corporate currency without side systems

Sell in any currency, report together with confidence. CloudComp converts automatically at calculation time and keeps the rate + date used for audit, so managers can compare teams across regions and finance gets consistent numbers.

  • Local in, corporate out—no spreadsheet gymnastics

  • Manager rollups across currencies stay apples-to-apples

  • Clear audit trail: conversion rate and effective date captured

Reps and managers see commissions in their currency and locale—exactly how Salesforce displays amounts (e.g., 19.653,58 EUR vs $19,653.58). Admins can choose display/payout currencies per plan or audience while keeping corporate reporting intact.

  • Statements and dashboards match each user’s Salesforce settings

  • Finance can toggle to corporate currency in a click

  • Exports and emails reflect the chosen display currency

Flexible Quota and Tier Logic

Run rep quotas and manager overlays on one, native model. CloudComp’s Sales Teams feature gives you a drag-and-drop team hierarchy so quotas roll up cleanly and power commissions and production measurement at multiple levels—from rep to manager to region. Team members can have start/end dates, making reorganizations and coverage changes precise and audit-friendly.

  • Manager overlays backed by team quotas

  • Drag-and-drop hierarchy with multi-level rollups

  • Member start/end dates for granular change management

Motivate the right behaviors with tiered rates and time-boxed incentives you can launch the same day. Configure accelerators, spiffs, and milestone bonuses in clicks; CloudComp applies them in real time and shows reps exactly what’s unlocked.

  • Threshold tiers and accelerators you control

  • Spiffs/specials by product, segment, or timeframe

  • Plain-language explanations so reps know what to do next

Fair, audit-ready payouts. CloudComp calculates tiers and accelerators based on when the commission is earned (e.g., close date/period), not when payroll runs—so late payments or processing cycles don’t change the rep’s results.

  • Period-accurate results that don’t shift with pay timing

  • Works with dated FX and prior-period adjustments

  • Clear trail for finance and compliance (what was earned, when, and why)

Automated Payments, Draws and Clawbacks

Run weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or custom pay runs any currency — within one org. Assign users and teams to the schedule that’s right for them, calculate on earned date, respect fiscal calendars, and handle new hires/terms automatically. Support recoverable and non-recoverable draws (and guarantees) with automatic application and repayment in future periods.

  • Define pay calendars by team/region/plan/currency

  • Draws/advances applied and repaid automatically

  • Carryover and balance forward calculated automatically on each payment

When deals cancel, de-book, refund, or downgrade, CloudComp posts the clawback automatically—accurate to the period and FX rate used when earnings were created. Adjustments flow into the next eligible pay run with an audit trail and optional approvals—no spreadsheets, no surprises.

  • Auto-reversals from returns/cancellations/downgrades

  • Period-accurate, dated-FX aware recalculation

  • Approval paths and full audit history for finance

Every payment is backed by payment lines—one for each commission-generating event—with the source deal, product, earned date, tier/rate, FX used, and any adjustments. These lines are typically not exported to payroll; they’re for RevOps/Finance/HR review, reconciliation, and dispute resolution inside Salesforce.

  • Drill from a payment total to the underlying lines and back to the record
  • See exactly which tier executed, at what rate, and why
  • Align with your existing review/approval process (no extra platform)
  • A clear audit trail that reduces support tickets and month-end back-and-forth

Export-ready and extensible. CloudComp creates one row per user per pay period for payment, and you control the columns—employee ID, cost center, GL code, payment method, tax region, and more. These values live on the plan assignment, so they stay in context with the user/plan and follow changes over time.

  • Clean, one-row-per-user/period files payroll/AP systems expect

  • Extend columns to match your provider’s template

  • Keep corporate reporting intact while staying native to Salesforce
