Managing sales commissions has always been a big headache at Algolia. Super excited to see an incredible team (including an ex Algolian who saw the problem first hand!) tackle the problem. You should try them out!

Thank you Nicolas! Thrilled to have been hunted by you! 🤩 Hello everyone! 👋 I’m Jean, co-founder and CEO at PaletteHQ. So happy to present Palette to the PH community!! We started working on Palette a few months ago and it’s been a crazy journey so far. In a few words, Palette makes it easy for B2B companies to calculate sales commissions and boost sales performance. We built a SaaS platform that non tech people can implement in a day, connect to their CRM, accounting software or ERPs, and calculate commissions automatically instead of using excel spreadsheets or BI tools. 🌱 How it started Last year, my team and I kickstarted a community for sales operations professionals - www.Operations.family. We then asked 500 sales representatives and account executives what they would like to change about their compensation plan. Guess what, the n°1 answer is “Being sure that commissions are calculated accurately” 🤯 Isn’t that crazy? It’s probably one of the most overlooked problems that, if solved, could bring immediate happiness and motivation to your sales team!! Did you know that 18% of employers don't report commission results to salespeople, and 47% are slow to process commission? Let’s not be that kind of company! 😍 The solution Palette is an automatic and easy way to provide clear and transparent commission statements & dashboards to your team. We’ve built an easy to set up, no-code commission management engine that can connect in real-time to CRMs, billing systems or databases, and automatically pull the data needed to calculate sales commissions. We currently have native integrations with tools like Salesforce, Hubspot, Close, Pipedrive, Sellsy, Quickbooks, Chargebee, Xero, Netsuite, Snowflake, Redshift, and many more. Also, we can build custom data connectors in a day, so hit us up if you don’t see your CRM or software in the list below. :) Once data sources are connected, you can design commission plans directly inside Palette, and implement any logic to calculate commissions automatically, even the most complex strategies! After commissions are calculated, you can easily push the information to your favorite HR or payroll system like Gusto, Bamboo, Rippling, or ADP. ✏️ How to get started? Our product is live!

I'm following Palette HQ from day 1 and I'm very impressed by what they have done so far and in such a small timeframe. This company is a rocketship. 🚀

Such a life-saver from all the manual drudgery. Kudos to you guys for noticing a lag in the existing system and coming up with something to fill in the gap. Really appreciate it!

great idea @jelorillon i love it ! 🚀 I have worked in companies that were in a test and learn approach to structuring their commissions and avoiding side-effects (and so part of the commission was still discretionary). Would you say it is too early for these companies to automate commissions or does you product brings value at this stage as well ?

My word, would have loved to have it in my previous companies! Congrats @jelorillon and team, this is awesome ! 🔥

We've been using PaletteHQ for 2 quarters now to manage our sales commissions - it's been a game changer in efficiency for us.

Seems like a really useful tool to keep track on commissions. It can be really challenging sometimes. Good luck with it!

This looks super interesting. Heads up that I went to book a demo on your site, and for west coast folks the only times available are before business hours.

Great idea and much needed product! We'll definitely need it when growing our sales team for our enterprise branch. Proud to see Le Wagon's alumni launch amazing products backed by YC. Congratulations @jelorillon !

I love the idea of how you've approached customer development. Would definitely try it out!

Game changer tool to manage sales teams' compensation at scale. We used to have many frictions calculating the commissions manually and ended conflicting with top performer employees. PaletteHQ created peace in our sales team

Great product and amazing team ! lucky YC to have you guys ! Long life to Palettehq ! 👏👏 @jelorillon and the team !
