What CloudComp is
CloudComp is a sales commission management app built as a native Salesforce package. It tracks commission plans and attainment, supports payment workflows, and prepares payout files for payroll or accounts payable. Its plan features cover multiple tiers, year-to-date attainment, team quotas, and bonuses triggered by revenue, margin, quantity, or custom metrics. CloudComp supports Salesforce Advanced Currency Management, dated exchange rates, and payout currencies specific to each user. Payment schedules can be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or custom, with recoverable and non-recoverable draws. For cancellations, de-bookings, refunds, or downgrades, it can post clawbacks with audit trails and optional approvals. CloudComp Assistant gives real-time commission guidance, while CloudComp Statement displays live trends and period breakdowns. The package uses Salesforce security controls, including SSO/MFA, permission sets, field-level security, and audit history; Shield encryption applies where enabled. It is certified for Salesforce Government Cloud environments. Plans start at $34.00 per user per month with an annual subscription and a five-user minimum; Core + Insights is $39.00 on the same terms. Each install includes a functional 30-day evaluation without a credit card required for installation.
