SAN JOSE, Calif. – March 27, 2012 - Xactly Corporation, the industry leading cloud-based provider of incentive compensation management, today announced that Cascade Orthopedic Supply has improved business performance by achieving strategic visibility into sales with Xactly Express.

A major supplier to the Orthotics & Prosthetics (O&P) industry for more than 30 years, Cascade Orthopedic Supply offers the industry’s most comprehensive product line to certified, independent O&P professionals throughout North America. To calculate sales commissions, top management would spend hours running manual reports and crunching numbers on spreadsheets, a time intensive process that offered reps little visibility into their commissions.

When a strategic acquisition doubled Cascade’s sales force overnight, the company decided it was time to abandon its painstaking spreadsheet-based compensation process. Cascade had also recently implemented Salesforce CRM to automate CRM, and wanted a complimentary solution that would accelerate user adoption. Cascade discovered Xactly Express could deliver the required automation, visibility and management reporting necessary, directly within Salesforce CRM.

“The implementation of Xactly Express was fairly easy, and the impact on the company was rapid and highly positive,” said James Mayfield, business analyst, Cascade Orthopedic Supply. “It has delivered the benefits we were looking for, and has really opened our eyes and enabled us to use compensation strategically like a much bigger company.”

Today, Xactly Express is helping Cascade Orthopedic’s sales team perform better. Cascade’s sales reps can now check their compensation and sales numbers daily via up-to-date reports and dashboards. The added visibility allows representatives to be more accountable and empowers them to set their own quotas. With a comprehensive view of accounts, the team can take a more strategic approach to selling, providing the company with a large sales performance advantage. Direct integration and single sign-in with Salesforce CRM has also helped drive deeper adoption and higher daily usage of Salesforce CRM across the sales team.

Xactly has streamlined and reduced the costs of Cascade’s overall sales compensation management process. The automated system has nearly eliminated disputes over commissions, and a single admin now handles the process part time, freeing up management to focus on more strategic initiatives. As Cascade continues to grow, the system can scale to accommodate its expanding sales force as well as increasing sales compensation complexity.

“Xactly Express gives us the tools we need to do a lot of things that make sound business sense, but that we could not have even considered doing in the past. Xactly Express is not just a compensation management tool – it’s a business success driver,” added Mayfield.
