01Overview

A commission engine and distributor portal for a 40,000-partner network, replacing a spreadsheet nobody trusted.

02The problem

Commissions for 40,000 distributors were calculated monthly in a spreadsheet that took four days to run and produced disputes every cycle. Nobody could explain a payout without opening the file.

A cycle for 40,182 distributors closes in six minutes, every plan rule shown beside it
03What we built
  1. 01

    Deterministic by design

    A rules engine implements the compensation plan exactly, including compression, caps and bonus pools, and can replay any historical period identically.

  2. 02

    Every cent traceable

    Each payout links to the orders, ranks and adjustments that produced it, so a dispute is answered in a click.

  3. 03

    Partners answer themselves

    Live earnings, team performance and rank progress in a portal, which removed the reason most support tickets existed.

A queried payout answered the same day, traced to two returns and a compression step

04The result

The multi-day commission close became a short review, payout disputes collapsed, and operations stopped spending half its month on payouts.

Closing

Do you have an idea, or a problem?

Either works. In my experience the second one goes faster.

I usually reply the same day.
