Trusted by leading distribution businesses worldwide.
Model margin and volume-based incentives with precision
Distribution compensation plans rely on accurate tracking of gross margin, unit volume, services revenue, and category performance. Performio supports margin-based commissions, tiered accelerators, SPIFs, and product-focused incentives within a governed, scalable platform.
Align incentives to sales growth and customer expansion
Compensation should reinforce behaviors that increase share of wallet, expand book of business, and improve category penetration. Performio enables distributors to support both new customer acquisition and account growth while aligning incentives to strategic growth goals.
Ensure accurate payouts and reduce risk
Rigid legacy compensation systems and homegrown tools increase payout risk, reduce transparency, and slow plan evolution. Performio delivers deterministic calculations and audit-ready reporting so payouts are accurate and defensible.
