Alex the "HR Payroll Admin"
Alex the "HR Payroll Admin"

Meet Alex, our fictional HR & Payroll admin based on what we know of others HR & Payroll admins. Alex is one of many financial wizards that has the ability to navigate people problems. She works with a team of twelve and has seen a lot of turnover since starting her role a year ago at a multi-location dealer in Texas.

Alex wants to progress in her role and make a happier sales and finance relationship. However she cannot get ahead of these regular occurrences of mistakes in commission payouts, leading to employee dissatisfaction and distrust. The larger the dealership grows the larger the problems and the more turnover.

Alex pays attention to HR Magazine, SHRM and many HR and payroll software vendors blogs. But, she has yet to find a dealership specific solution that can actually make the move from these spreadsheets. Then she found Nimble Compensation. Let's take a look at her transformation.

Built with HR & Payroll in mind

Does Nimble Compensation replace my payroll system?

No, we do not replace your payroll system.

We sit between your DMS and Payroll provider to provide accurate commission and earning information for your payroll system. You don't have to change your payroll provider to use Nimble Compensation.

We work with most Payroll providers. If you have specific questions about your payroll provider, email our support team at support@nimblecompensation.com.

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.

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.

What is a commission management platform?

Great question!


A commission management platform helps businesses manage and track commissions.

It is important to note that a commission management platform does not replace your payroll provider. It sits between your DMS and Payroll provider to provide accurate commission and earning information for your payroll system to process.


While there are a few commission management platforms out there, Nimble Compensation is different. We are the only commission management platform built for dealerships. We only work with dealerships, which means we live and breathe in your world every day. 


This matters to you for a few reasons:

  1. We are built to work with every department in a dealership. Other commission management platforms are made for sales departments, which is different from the reality of a dealership. We know and understand nearly every employee in a dealership is on some flavor of a commission plan.  
  2. We work and integrate with the tools you use every day. This includes your Dealer Management System.
  3. We don't need to tell you this, but the dealership world differs from other industries. Start throwing out terms like retro, front gross, back gross, and most companies ' heads are spinning. That is our every day. 


We encourage you to check out our full article for a more in-depth explanation.
