Case Study: phData streamlines sales commissions with Sigma Computing

phData Replaces Spreadsheet Sales Commission Workflows with Sigma Data Apps

phData, a data and AI consulting firm, was struggling to manage a complex and fragile sales commission process built across multiple spreadsheets and Excel workflows. As their compensation plans grew more complicated, even small changes in Salesforce or commission logic could break calculations, requiring several people to manually validate payouts and slowing the team down.

Using Sigma Computing and Sigma Data Apps, phData built a self-serve commissions application with write-back, modals, custom logic, and visualizations—without needing to buy a dedicated revenue platform or rely on engineering for every change. With Sigma, commission processing dropped from three days to less than an hour, spreadsheet-related errors were eliminated, and reps gained a transparent, gamified view of earnings and quota progress that improved motivation and trust.
