The Challenge
Health Gorilla was making use of spreadsheets to calculate their commissions. In their pursuit to prepare for growth, they decided to proactively automate the process, and optimize for higher transparency of payouts. Health Gorilla was looking for a commission partner that would be able to help them achieve high accuracy and visibility into their performance statistics in order to keep up with their growth plans.
Sun Choi, SVP of Finance at Health Gorilla, was already well-acquainted with the drill. In his previous organization, he had evaluated several commission automation platforms, and used a new-age player. Team Health Gorilla wanted to find and implement a commission platform in a short duration of time. As a result, they were looking for an easily-configurable commission platform with quick implementation standards.
Everstage in Action
As part of the Everstage’s unified implementation process, a no-cost proof-of-concept was built for Health Gorilla wherein the team could see how the system calculates payouts for their commission plans. A dedicated solutions expert set up Health Gorilla’s commission plans and demonstrated the system with their data in less than a week’s time.
Team Health Gorilla was happy with the detailed POC done by Everstage's solution expert. On seeing their commission plans come to life with robust data visualization and in-depth breakdown of commission calculations, they were ready to implement Everstage to streamline commission processing.
Implementing Everstage
Health Gorilla’s commission plans were designed to pay out a certain percentage of earned commissions on booking and the rest on invoice payment. They had to keep track of the processed commissions as well as the pending amount. Everstage processes their plan with the Settlements feature wherein the sales reps will be able to view their total payouts, earned commissions as well as their deferred commissions for that time period.
