From capacity plan to payout, on one record.
Ascent brings sales capacity planning, quota setting, incentive compensation and plan diagnostics onto one shared set of org, roster, product and sales data. The heads you plan for are the heads you set quotas for, and the quotas you set are the quotas the plan pays against.
Capacity, quota and payout usually live in three files owned by three teams.
The hiring plan sits with Finance. Quotas go out from Sales Ops. The payout file is rebuilt every month by comp admin. Each is reconciled against the others by hand, and every year the same questions come back: how many sellers the number really takes, where a quota came from, and why a statement shows what it shows.
Ascent keeps them on one record. A change to the roster reaches capacity and quota, a quota change reaches the calculation, and next year's design starts from what the current plan actually paid.
What Ascent is made of
Capacity Planner
How many sellers the number takes, by role, line and start month. Ramp and attrition come from your own roster, scenarios sit side by side, and the plan shows when each requisition has to open. Also available on its own as a working model your team keeps.
QuotaBridge
Top-down and bottom-up quota allocation by a stated rule, tested on past periods, with manager changes inside set limits, quota letters and a full history of every change.
Falcon ICM
Plan design with version control, sales data import, calculation and validation, an exception queue with approval, and rep statements that show how each number was reached.
SalesComp Edge
The standard plan-review views, attainment spread, pay against performance, pay mix and cost of sales, reading the same data the plan was calculated on.
Built and demonstrated. Looking for design partners.
We are working with a small number of companies that want to shape it on a live plan cycle.
Input into the roadmap
Requirements that shape what gets built next, configuration and data migration done with you, direct access to the people who built it, and terms that reflect being early.
A live plan cycle
A named owner who runs it on a real plan year and tells us what to improve, and, once it has worked, permission to say so.
One plan cycle, start to finish
Plan capacity
Set next year's number against the team you will have: heads by role and start month, with ramp and attrition from your roster.
Set and review quotas
Allocate quota per head down the hierarchy by a stated rule. Managers adjust inside the limits you set, and the total holds.
Design and calculate
Configure the plan, import sales data, and calculate and validate payouts before anyone sees them.
Pay and explain
Publish rep statements with the working visible, and resolve exceptions through one approved queue.
Read what the plan did
Diagnostics run on the data the plan paid on, so the next design starts from evidence.
Who it's for
Sales Ops / RevOps
You run capacity, territories and quotas across several files that never quite agree. Ascent keeps them on one record.
Comp Admin
You rebuild the payout file every month and answer statement questions by going back through it. Ascent keeps the plan rule, the quota and the calculation together.
Finance / FP&A
You need the hiring plan, the quota total and the payout accrual to reconcile. Ascent starts all three from the same data.
Sales Leadership / CRO
You need to know whether the team can carry the number before it is signed off, and that the plan pays for what you intended.
