Should Your Company Start Planning Ahead Too?
In the world of commission management, there are common challenges and potential pitfalls businesses face.
Companies often find themselves grappling with one (or several) points of failure in their commission process, such as relying on unwieldy spreadsheets for commission calculations.
What happens when the one person in your organization who is responsible for the entire commission process unexpectedly leaves the company, or simply takes a well-deserved vacation?
Similarly, there’s risk posed by using custom commission management developed by a single individual. Where is that person now? Are they still in the business of development? Probably not. Who owns the source code and how do you access it?
As daunting as these pain points might seem, it’s why we’re here: to discuss the ideal solution – Commission Plan for Microsoft Dynamics GP, and why one company chose the solution to handle their commission plan process concerns.
Have you considered the fact that your aging Crystal Reports software may become incompatible with Microsoft Dynamics GP and create issues for your commissions data?
Kawasumi Laboratories America, Inc., an international leader in safe, disposable medical devices, relies on commissions data for their sales process. When they realized that their software may become obsolete, they proactively began to search for a replacement.
