If you have reps and need territories assigned geographically then AlignStar is a great option. While we do not have reps in the field, I can see how powerful it can be in aligning territories not only based on estimated revenue or some other metric but also with rep location and driving in mind.

Pros
  • Crystal - It helps in understanding which are the key sales or opportunities to be closed to attain the required commission
  • Quota Attainment Tracker - This gives graphical representation of how much attainment has been achieved year wise
  • Tier attainment helps us to understand what more to be added to gain more to be added to go to next tier of commission

  • Detailed label options by ZIP code. I know the immediate impact of moving a single ZIP code.
  • Territory Optimizer. If we are having trouble figuring out the correct configuration for a particular area, its helpful to see what the program suggests. It may come up with something we hadn't thought of yet.
  • Custom layers. I am able to mark the previous territory boundaries, so if we want to undo a change, I know exactly where we started from.

Cons
  • Since it shows the data of sales so they don't have any method by which the refund in the sales can be tracked. One of my teammate had refund done but it was not showing in the Everstage. I think this need to improved
  • The dashboard can be improved by showing some emojis, if he is coming on top and makes the employee feel happy.
  • Sometime after login it shows the 3 months before data, i think it should start by showing the current data.

  • User interface is more akin to a 1990s product

Everstage has kept its promise of providing timely, accurate incentive calculations while outperforming against previous solutions. It takes overly complex process with lots of data and inputs, and streamlines it and makes the process much more efficient. It was chosen also due to its high level of integration with our existing CRM platform, as well the robust nature of the software itself.
