Business Context
A leading Pharmaceutical MNC with a large field-force across multiple hierarchies (MR, ABM, SLSM, etc.) faced challenges in managing its complex incentive calculation process. The manual incentive management system was inconsistent, lacked transparency, and was causing delays. Sales and non-sales incentives were calculated using spreadsheets, resulting in duplication and errors. The absence of automation for incentive management impacted the morale of the employees and also led to financial losses for the company.
Challenges
● Handling incentive calculations for over 1000 employees with traditional methods,
leading to inaccuracies and delays.
● Standardization with manual processes was impossible due to different incentive
types like sales and non-sales and complex qualifying conditions, such as coverage,
call average, TA%, etc.
● Lack of clarity in incentive management disappointed employees as they had limited
visibility into their performance metrics and eligibility.
● Delayed approvals slowed down the system and affected payout timelines.
● The company was also facing compliance risks due to inconsistent documentation
and lack of audit trails in the manual data entry incentive process.
