Epsilon Partners with Incentivate to Modernize Global Sales Performance Management

Introduction

As sales organizations expand across regions, products, and teams, managing sales performance becomes increasingly complex. Multiple systems for sales planning, quota management, incentive compensation, roster governance, and reporting often create operational inefficiencies and limit visibility into performance.

Epsilon, a global data, technology, and services company and part of Publicis Groupe, sought to create a more connected and scalable approach to managing sales performance operations across its global teams. To support this transformation, Epsilon selected Incentivate as its strategic platform for sales planning, incentive management, reporting, and operational governance across the United States, Europe, and LATAM regions.

Challenges Faced by Epsilon

Disconnected Sales Performance Processes

Sales planning, quotas, incentives, roster management, and reporting often operated as separate processes, creating inefficiencies and limited visibility.

Complex Global Operations

Managing multiple regions, product groups, compensation structures, and reporting requirements increased operational complexity.

Evolving Organizational Structures

Frequent changes in territories, hierarchies, products, and compensation plans created ongoing administrative challenges.

Incentive Accuracy and Transparency

Sales teams needed timely incentive calculations and clear visibility into performance and earnings.

Need for Greater Agility

Business teams require faster ways to manage planning scenarios, organizational changes, and exceptions.
