Jordan the "Controller"
Jordan the "Controller"

Meet Jordan, our fictional Controller based on what we know of other Controllers. Jordan heads up the commission process alongside a team of twelve financial admins in fast growing dealership in the Midwest.

Jordan wants to spend more time analyzing financial data more deeply to provide strategic insights, forecasts and improve decision-making processes. Unfortunately he spends more late nights and weekends doing the opposite- trying to manage manual entry and calculation formulas for a dozen pay plans across 60 tabs.

Then he found Nimble Compensation. Let's take a look at his transformation.

Still Have Questions?

Here are some of our most common questions we get from Controllers

What's this going to cost?

Great question! Our pricing is based on a monthly fee billed per rooftop. Our monthly fees vary depending on the number of employees under each rooftop. We do offer volume discounts for dealerships.

In addition to the monthly charge, we charge a one-time setup fee. As part of this setup fee, Nimble's implementation team will come to your dealership and work with your team on the initial setup. This setup fee is fully refundable if your dealership cancels within 90 days of the setup, but we are confident you will think that setup fee was the best money you ever spent when you see how much time and money you are saving with Nimble Compensation.

We don't believe in locking you into a long-term contract, so we have a month-to-month agreement that allows you to cancel at any time.

Do you work with my Dealer Management System?

We work with all the major Dealer Management Systems: CDK Global, Reynolds & Reynolds, Automate, Dealertrack, Tekion, and many more.

We have dealership clients across the United States using almost every Dealer Management System (DMS) available. We have built Nimble Compensation to be extremely flexible. This allows you to use nearly any report you can extract from your DMS.

We also have direct integrations with some DMSs, which allows us to pull commission data directly from your DMS.

Check out our article about Dealer Management Systems we work with for more information.

Do you work with my payroll system?

Over the years, we have seen and worked with quite a few payroll companies. We work with many of the native DMS payroll solutions as well as many of the most popular standalone payroll companies like: ADP, Paylocity, Netchex, Paychex, Paycom and many more.

We have built Nimble Compensation to be extremely flexible and therefore it works with virtually all payroll solutions. But if you want to confirm your specific payroll solution you can email our support team at support@nimblecompensation.com.

What is the process to get Nimble Compensation setup?

We have found the best way to setup Nimble Compensation for your dealership is to come out for two to three days.

During this time, we work to setup, test, and train with your team. Although we will be on-site, we typically only need an hour or two from your managers, so it is not a significant time commitment for you or your team.

The goal is that by the time we leave, your dealership is completely setup and ready to use our platform.

How much time is this saving people?

While every dealership is different, on average, our dealership customers see an 80% reduction in process time.



To put this into real terms, if your commission process currently takes 10 hours every month, after implementing Nimble Compensation, we expect it would take roughly 2 hours to complete. That is 8 hours you get back during your busiest time of the month, month-end close! Imagine what your life would look like.



We regularly hear from our clients that they now get to eat dinner with their family during close or don't have to come into the dealership on Sundays because of the time-savings Nimble Compensation gave them.



We want this to be you, but we also have been doing this long enough that it is hard to believe this could be your story. We encourage you to Book A Demo so we can setup a custom demo and show you how different your life could be.
