The Problem

The spreadsheet tax

Every month, someone on your team opens a spreadsheet, pulls deal data from the CRM, cross-references it with partner agreements, calculates commissions using a formula that only one person understands, and sends the results for approval. The entire process takes days. When a partner disputes a number — and they always do — it takes even longer to trace back through the logic. This is 2026. There's no reason this should be manual.

Commission calculations take days
Pulling data, matching it to agreements, applying tier-based rates, handling split deals — it's a multi-day process every payout cycle.
Disputes are expensive
When a partner questions their payout, you have to trace the logic backward through spreadsheets. Average resolution time: 3-5 business days.
No audit trail
If the person who built the spreadsheet leaves, the institutional knowledge goes with them. Auditors hate this.
Inconsistent timing
Partners don't know when to expect payouts. Late payments erode trust and create noise for your team.
The Solution

How Covant solves it

1
Define commission rules once
Set up rules by partner type, tier, product line, or deal size. Tiered rates, role-based splits, performance accelerators — all configurable.
2
Commissions calculate automatically
When a deal is approved, Covant applies attribution, matches commission rules, and calculates the payout instantly. Zero manual work.
3
Approval workflows built in
Bulk approve payouts with one click. Escalation paths for large amounts. Full audit log of who approved what and when.

Commission disputes eat my team alive every quarter. If partners could just see the math themselves — what the attribution was, what rate applied, how the number was calculated — 80% of those disputes go away overnight.
