 Short answer

## What does Bentega do? (short answer)

 Bentega is incentive compensation management software for teams that need a governed way to manage performance-based pay.

It brings plan rules, source data, calculations, exceptions, approvals, payout statements, visibility, audit trail, and finance-ready outputs into one operating workflow.

Bentega supports commissions, bonuses, SPIFs, OTE-based payouts, KPI incentives, and broader variable pay. It is not payroll software, a BI dashboard, a gamification tool, or a sales-only commission calculator.

 Spreadsheet risk

## Why incentive compensation outgrows spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are useful for early plan modeling. They become risky when they also become the system for plan rules, source data, payout calculations, approvals, statements, and exception handling.

At that point, the problem is no longer only calculation. Teams need a governed workflow that helps every stakeholder understand what was calculated, what changed, who approved it, and what is ready for Finance.

### Manual calculations

 Spreadsheet formulas are fragile, hard to review, and easy to break when plans, quotas, rates, caps, or exception rules change.

### Version chaos

 Plan documents, quota files, payout sheets, adjustment notes, and approval records often live in different places. Teams spend too much time finding the latest version.

### Payout disputes

 Employees and managers may only see the final payout number. Without clear calculation context, trust drops and RevOps or Finance has to explain every exception manually.

### Limited visibility

 Employees cannot easily see progress, earned incentives, expected payouts, or timing during the period. The plan loses motivational value when visibility arrives too late.

### Approval gaps

 Reviews happen through email, chat, comments, or offline spreadsheet edits. It becomes difficult to know which payout was approved, by whom, and why.

### Finance rework

 Finance has to re-check calculations, reconcile payout files, review adjustments, and prepare handoffs late in the cycle.

### No reliable traceability

 Changes, manual adjustments, exceptions, approvals, and final outputs are difficult to trace when the process is spread across files and messages.

 Product workflow

## How Bentega works

Bentega helps teams move from plan logic to approved payout outputs in one controlled workflow. Use it to automate incentive calculations, review exceptions, approve results, and communicate payout context without relying on disconnected files.

If your team is still managing plan rules, calculations, approvals, and payout questions in spreadsheets, check whether your incentive compensation process is [ready to scale](https://www.bentega.io/icm-readiness-checklist-bentega).

1. 1
   
   ### Define plan rules
   
    Set eligibility, incentive types, formulas, targets, thresholds, caps, payout timing, approval rules, and plan versions before calculations begin.

1. 2
   
   ### Connect performance data
   
    Bring in approved source data from CRM, spreadsheets, finance systems, HR systems, payroll workflows, or other source files used to calculate incentives.

1. 3
   
   ### Automate calculations
   
    Calculate commissions, bonuses, SPIFs, OTE-based payouts, KPI incentives, and broader variable pay using defined plan logic instead of manual spreadsheet formulas.

1. 4
   
   ### Review exceptions
   
    Handle missing data, split crediting, role changes, territory changes, manual adjustments, special rules, disputes, and other exceptions in a clearer review process.

1. 5
   
   ### Approve payouts
   
    Route results through the right managers, RevOps, Finance, HR, and leadership reviewers before outputs are marked ready for downstream handoff.

1. 6
   
   ### Communicate statements
   
    Give employees and managers visibility into performance, calculations, attainment, statements, and expected payout timing.

1. 7
   
   ### Export finance-ready outputs
   
    Prepare approved payout data for finance, payroll, accounting, accrual, and reporting workflows with better traceability than spreadsheet handoffs.

FROM PLAN TO PAYOUT

## A platform for the full incentive compensation workflow

Bentega supports the full [incentive compensation management](https://www.bentega.io/incentive-compensation-management) workflow, from plan rules and data to approvals, statements, and finance-ready outputs.

![Product overview visual](https://www.bentega.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Product%20overview%20visual.png?width=700&height=700&name=Product%20overview%20visual.png "Product overview visual")

 Supported incentive types

## Support more than sales commissions

Bentega supports sales commissions, bonuses, SPIFs, OTE-based payouts, KPI incentives, Customer Success incentives, and multi-team variable pay.

That matters because incentive compensation is rarely owned by one team or limited to one plan type. Finance, HR, RevOps, Sales, Customer Success, and GTM leaders all need a shared workflow they can trust.

### Sales commissions

 Manage commission rules, quotas, tiers, accelerators, crediting, splits, margin logic, and payout timing.

[Read the sales commission guide →](https://www.bentega.io/sales-commission)

### Bonuses

 Manage individual, team, company, KPI-based and performance-linked bonus plans with clear calculation rules, eligibility, approvals, payout timing and employee visibility.

[Read the bonus plans guide →](https://www.bentega.io/bonus)

### SPIFs

 Manage short-term incentive campaigns with eligibility, tracking, payout rules, earning windows, and approval steps.

[Read the SPIF guide →](https://www.bentega.io/spif)

### OTE-based payouts

 Connect target earnings, quota, pay mix, attainment, and variable pay logic so employees understand how target performance turns into earnings.

[Read the on-target earnings guide →](https://www.bentega.io/on-target-earnings)

### KPI-based incentives

 Tie payout to measurable KPIs such as margin, retention, expansion, pipeline quality, customer health, operational outcomes, or delivery performance.

[Read the KPIs and metrics guide →](https://www.bentega.io/kpis-and-metrics)

### Customer Success incentives

 Support incentives for renewals, expansion, NRR, onboarding, adoption, customer health, and retention outcomes.

[Explore Customer Success incentives →](https://www.bentega.io/use-cases/customer-success-incentives)

### Multi-team variable pay

 Manage incentives across Sales, RevOps, Finance, HR, Customer Success, and GTM teams without forcing every role into the same plan model.

[Explore GTM incentives →](https://www.bentega.io/solutions/gtm-leaders-incentive-compensation)

### Finance-controlled payout workflows

 Support review, approvals, audit trail, payout cost visibility, and downstream finance outputs before payroll or accounting handoff.

[Explore Finance incentive control →](https://www.bentega.io/solutions/cfos-finance-incentive-control)

 Built for every stakeholder

## Built for every team involved in incentive compensation

 Incentive compensation is a shared workflow. Finance needs control, RevOps needs reliable execution, HR needs consistency, Sales needs trust, Customer Success needs outcome alignment, and GTM leaders need a clear connection between strategy and pay.

### Finance

 Control payout exposure, review earned and approved amounts, track adjustments, support accruals, maintain auditability, and prepare cleaner finance-ready outputs.

[Explore Finance incentive control →](https://www.bentega.io/solutions/cfos-finance-incentive-control)

### Sales and RevOps

 Manage commission operations, quota changes, plan updates, crediting rules, exceptions, rep visibility, manager questions, and payout review.

 Comparison

## Spreadsheets vs Bentega

A spreadsheet-heavy process can work when plans are simple and the team is small. It becomes harder to trust when rules, source data, calculations, approvals, exceptions, and payout communication all depend on manual coordination.

Bentega gives teams a clearer workflow for plan rules, calculations, payout review, approvals, employee visibility, and finance-ready outputs.

| Capability | Spreadsheet-heavy process | Bentega |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Plan rules | Rules are spread across plan documents, tabs, spreadsheets, manager notes, and old versions. | Rules are structured in a governed workflow with clearer ownership, timing, versions, and payout logic. |
| Source data | Data is copied from CRM, finance, HR, payroll, or other files and manually reconciled. | Approved source data can be imported, connected, reviewed, and traced as part of the payout workflow. |
| Calculations | Formulas are fragile, hard to review, and difficult to explain when exceptions appear. | Calculations follow defined plan logic for commissions, bonuses, SPIFs, OTE-based payouts, KPIs, and variable pay. |
| Exceptions | Exceptions are handled through emails, comments, offline edits, or one-off approvals. | Exceptions move through a clearer review process with better context and traceability. |
| Approvals | Approval status is hard to track and may be spread across email, chat, and file comments. | Approval workflows make review ownership, status, and handoff clearer before payouts move downstream. |
| Employee visibility | Employees often see only final payout numbers or depend on managers for updates. | Employees can see clearer progress, earned incentives, statements, and payout context. |
| Manager visibility | Managers depend on manual reports or RevOps updates to answer team questions. | Managers can review team progress, payout questions, exceptions, and upcoming approvals with more context. |
| Finance handoff | Finance receives manual payout files that need reconciliation and follow-up. | Finance gets structured, approved outputs with clearer status, calculation context, and payout detail. |
| Audit trail | Changes, adjustments, approvals, and payout outputs are difficult to reconstruct later. | Plan changes, manual adjustments, approvals, exceptions, and outputs are easier to trace. |
| Scalability | Every new plan, region, role, or incentive type adds more manual work and more risk. | Workflows can support more plans and teams with stronger control and better visibility. |

Services and software

## Need help before implementation?

Some teams are ready to run incentive compensation in software. Others first need help clarifying plan rules, source data, ownership, approval steps, and payout governance.

Bentega can support both paths.

Services help define or improve the plan and operating model. Product helps run the workflow at scale. Both can work together when the plan needs advisory support and ongoing software operations.

### How does Bentega replace spreadsheets?

 Bentega replaces spreadsheet-heavy incentive workflows with structured plan rules, automated calculations, approval workflows, visibility, and finance-ready outputs.

 Spreadsheets may still be useful for modeling and imports, but they become risky when they are the main system for rules, calculations, approvals, and payout communication. Bentega helps teams move these activities into a more governed workflow.

[Check your ICM score →](https://www.bentega.io/icm-readiness-checklist-bentega)

### Can Bentega automate commission calculations?

 Yes. Bentega can calculate commissions using defined plan logic, source data, crediting rules, thresholds, tiers, accelerators, splits, and other rules.

 Commission calculations often become difficult when teams add quota changes, split crediting, accelerators, manual adjustments, territory changes, or role-specific rules. Bentega helps make those calculations easier to review, approve, and explain.

[Read the sales commission guide →](https://www.bentega.io/sales-commission)

### Can Bentega manage bonuses and SPIFs?

 Yes. Bentega can support bonus plans and SPIF campaigns alongside commissions and other variable pay.

 Bonus plans may use individual, team, company, or KPI-based rules. SPIFs may use short campaign windows, eligibility rules, and specific payout logic. Bentega helps manage those rules, calculations, approvals, and statements in the same incentive compensation workflow.

[Read the bonus guide →](https://www.bentega.io/bonus)

### Can Bentega support KPI-based incentives?

 Yes. Bentega can support incentives tied to measurable KPIs such as margin, retention, expansion, pipeline quality, customer health, or operational outcomes.

 KPI-based incentives need clear metric definitions, source data, weighting, payout rules, review ownership, and approval steps. Bentega helps teams manage those rules as part of a governed incentive compensation workflow.

[Read the KPI guide →](https://www.bentega.io/kpis-and-metrics)

### Can employees see their payouts in Bentega?

 Yes. Bentega gives employees and managers visibility into performance, earned incentives, payout statements, and expected payout timing.

 Visibility helps employees understand how plan rules and performance data translate into payout. Managers can also use the same workflow to review attainment, answer questions, and support clearer communication before payout close.

[Book a demo →](https://www.bentega.io/demo)

### Can managers review team payouts in Bentega?

 Yes. Managers can review team performance, payout context, exceptions, and approval items where they are part of the workflow.

 Managers often need to answer payout questions before Finance closes the cycle. Bentega gives managers clearer context around attainment, earned incentives, statements, and exceptions so they can support employees with better information.

[Book a demo →](https://www.bentega.io/demo)

### Can Finance approve payouts in Bentega?

 Yes. Bentega supports payout review and approval workflows for Finance and other stakeholders.

 Finance can review calculations, exceptions, adjustments, approval status, and final payout outputs before data is handed off to payroll, accounting, accrual, or reporting workflows.

[Explore Finance incentive control →](https://www.bentega.io/solutions/cfos-finance-incentive-control)

### Does Bentega replace payroll?

 No. Bentega is not payroll software.

 Bentega supports the incentive compensation workflow before downstream payout. It helps teams prepare approved payout data for payroll, accounting, accrual, finance, or reporting workflows, but it does not replace payroll systems or payroll ownership.

[See pricing →](https://www.bentega.io/pricing)

### What data can Bentega use?

 Bentega can work with approved source data from systems and files used to calculate incentive compensation.

 Common data sources include CRM, finance systems, HR systems, payroll workflows, spreadsheets, CSV files, Excel files, and other approved sources. The exact setup depends on your current process, plan design, and implementation scope.
