Spiff Implementation for Financial Services: Automating Commission Tracking with Salesforce Integration
The Challenge: Manual Commission Tracking Slowing Down Sales Teams
A prominent financial services company in Australia needed a smarter way to manage their incentive programs. Their sales commission model was highly complex—dependent on variables like product type, subscription terms, and revenue (MRR and NRR). Despite using Salesforce and Xero, their commission tracking process was manual, slow, and error-prone.
Calculations were performed in Excel. Sales teams faced delays, conflicts, and poor visibility. Leadership needed a reliable sales commission automation software solution that could scale with business growth and eliminate administrative friction.
The Plan: Spiff + Salesforce = A Modern Incentive Compensation Management Solution
To modernize their incentive strategy, the company turned to Spiff implementation services. Our team delivered an end-to-end solution using Spiff for financial services, integrating it seamlessly with their existing tools.
We enabled:
Salesforce Spiff integration via Spiff’s native connector
Xero to Spiff integration through Workato automation recipes
Configurable sales quota management software using Spiff’s data sources
Custom logic for automated commission tracking, including kickers and clawbacks
A scalable structure for sales performance management tools that empowered teams
This allowed the organization to track commissions in real time, increase accuracy, and improve transparency across the board.
The Results: Scalable, Transparent Commission Automation with Spiff
Post-implementation, the organization experienced a significant transformation:
Full auditability of sales commissions per user and period
Real-time dashboards via Spiff web and mobile interfaces
Automated kicker and clawback logic

Some tables broke due to excessive custom logic.
