Force.com App of the Month: Xactly Reward |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
 Long time AppExchange partner Xactly recently announced the launch of their new Force.com app, Xactly
Rewards. Designed using Force.com and key technologies like Adobe Flex,
the Rewards application automates non-cash incentives to motivate and
retain employees, a business process normally managed by spreadsheets.
Companies can implement a point system and use the application to let
employees track the points they’ve earned, how they’ve earned them, how
many they’ve redeemed, and how they can earn more. |
