CHALLENGE

Managing B2B and Retail Sales Compensation on One Platform

Orange was in search of a compensation solution that could support their operations in two divisions: consumers and businesses. It required a robust solution that could manage the compensation of sales personnel at their retail stores, and empower its partners and resellers to improve the transparency of commissions for B2B resellers. Tasked with keeping up with customer demands, and in an effort to maintain market share, Orange wanted a solution that would face the challenges of motivating and securing the loyalty of their sales force.

SOLUTION

An Agile Solution to Provide Visibility and Motivation to Sellers

After evaluating several compensation management software solutions, Orange selected beqom’s Sales Performance Management solution for the ability to align and manage all of their sales compensation strategy, plans, people, and processes in one place. Today the organization has visibility over their B2B resellers in a centralized place. 

Managers are empowered to set incentives based on specific variables, whereas users can quickly gain knowledge of their compensation situation at anytime and in a central portal. Retail store personnel can view their sales performance and earnings in real time.

BENEFITS

  • A reduction in reseller partner claims, significantly improving relations between Orange and its reseller network.
  • A reduction in the amount of overpaid commissions by up to €100,000 per month.
