Commission Management

Turn Commissions Into a Growth Lever

Commissions are no longer just an administrative process — they're a strategic lever for growth. Coherent gives distribution and IT teams a shared way to design, test, and deploy commission logic in a day, putting business in the driver's seat from idea to production.

Bring Commission Strategy to the Speed of Your Business

Commission programs should evolve as quickly as your growth strategy. Business teams already design incentive plans in Excel. With the right framework, those ideas can move from spreadsheet to production in days—giving distribution leaders the flexibility to respond to new opportunities without waiting on lengthy IT cycles.

Respond to market opportunities faster — Launch new commission structures in days instead of waiting months for implementation.

Experiment with confidence — Test spiffs, bonuses, and incentive programs before they go live.

Align commissions with business strategy — Reward the products, states, and behaviors you want to grow.

Manage every commission program from a governed foundation — Bring consistency across product lines, business units, and existing systems.

Commission Management
That Moves at Market Speed

Coherent Spark compiles your existing Excel commission logic into governed, version-controlled APIs. Business teams define and approve commission changes directly.

Business Owns the Logic

Excel is already where commission plans are built and tested — that's the source material. Spark takes that spreadsheet, compiles it into a production-ready API, and keeps control in the hands of distribution, not IT.

Commission Becomes a Leader, Not a Follower

Pre-build commission tables with effective dates. Design marketing campaigns and commission incentives in alignment, not in sequence — so commissions arrive first, not last.

One Model, Any System

Whether you have one platform or eight, build commission logic once in Excel, select the destination in Spark, and it integrates automatically — P&C, L&A, specialty, and broker management systems included.

"Once this technology is implemented and people get used to making commission changes dynamically, you stop thinking 3 or 6 months ahead. You say — here's what I want to try next month. If it doesn't work, we tweak and do something different. That's an entirely different way of approaching commissioning."

Drive the Business You Want to Write

Commissions should encourage the behavior that's in alignment with your business goals. When you want to grow in a certain product type or state, the easiest lever is to modify commissions to reflect that. With Coherent, that change goes live when you need it — not three months later.

Launch Spiffs and Incentive Programs in Days

Distribution leadership has more ideas for commission incentives than the current process can ever keep up with. Coherent removes the bottleneck. Stress-test different commission scenarios in Spark's testing workbench, finalize the design, and push directly — no handoff to IT required.

Work With Your Existing Systems — No Migration Required

This framework doesn't require buying a new commissioning engine or upgrading to a more modern core system. If the commissioning table is editable, TX can integrate with it. AS/400, client-server, mainframe — it doesn't matter. You get dynamic commissioning without ripping out what's already there.
