Imagine a company that wants to sell 100 units of a new product each month. They can create a reward system using Spiff software to meet certain goals. Spiff tracks all the sales throughout the month. At month’s end, it automatically figures out the commission for each salesperson based on the rules set in the reward system.

The ultimate goal of Spiff is to eliminate manual efforts involved in commission payout calculations which may lead to human error.
