Challenge

ManpowerGroup has a large and distributed salesforce. As the company grew, local managers and financial analysts calculated commission reports manually. However, these groups weren’t equipped to understand the company’s commission rules and processes fully. They also didn’t always have time to learn how to perform manual calculations. As a result, commission reports were inaccurate and didn’t provide a true view of ManpowerGroup’s sales compensation program.
