Compensation Management Challenges Faced by Storable

As Storable expanded through acquisitions and organic growth, its compensation processes became increasingly complex. What worked for a smaller organization was breaking down under the weight of global operations.

Outgrowing their existing tools

Before Compport, Storable managed compensation through another platform, but it couldn't adapt to their evolving needs. The result was a confusing, messy process spread across multiple systems—none of which had the flexibility to support Storable's custom scorecards and evaluation methods.

Custom processes, rigid systems

Storable had spent years developing custom scorecards and evaluation processes that reflected their unique culture and business model. But every compensation tool they evaluated seemed to force them into a one-size-fits-all approach. They needed something that could bend to fit their processes, not the other way around.

Time spent on the process, not the decision

Too much of managers’ time went into handling spreadsheets and manual steps, leaving less room for focused compensation decisions.

Finding the Right Solution with Compport

When Storable was actively looking for a compensation platform, their goal was to find a system that could handle their global processes without forcing them into a rigid mold.

This is where Compport stood out. It was the only platform that could support Storable’s custom scorecards, bonus structures, and evaluation processes while still being simple enough for managers to actually use.

Implementation that worked for everyone

The implementation wasn’t about pushing out standard templates. Compport’s team took the time to study how compensation decisions truly flowed through Storable. This involved mapping the actual processes, identifying where bottlenecks occurred, and configuring the platform accordingly.

This approach delivered a system that felt tailored to Storable—without months of customization. In fact, Compport managed to complete an ADP integration in just two days.

Bringing order to spreadsheet chaos

Compport replaced the ongoing spreadsheet chaos with a single, structured system. Automated calculations, approval workflows, audit trails, and guardrails eliminated the risk of error. HR gained full visibility, managers had controlled access, and the entire process moved into one secure platform.

On top of that, Storable’s complex bonus proration rules—once nearly impossible to manage in spreadsheets—are now fully automated through Compport’s Bonus Module. 

This automation supported Payroll through commission complexities, ensuring accurate and consistent results across the board.

Managers onboarded in minutes

One of the biggest surprises was how quickly managers adopted the new system. A short onboarding session—less than 20 minutes—was enough for them to feel comfortable.

Managers now had one-click access to live employee data, clear visibility into their team’s budgets, and built-in checks that helped them make more objective, bias-free decisions. The ease of use meant fewer questions and smoother cycles.

Cycles that run faster 

What once took weeks of spreadsheet consolidation now takes a fraction of the time. With Compport, Storable’s HR team could close merit and bonus cycles much faster, without sacrificing quality. The automation gave leaders and HR teams more space to focus on meaningful evaluation rather than endless data wrangling.

Global visibility, local flexibility

Operating across multiple countries brought its own complexity. Storable needed both global alignment and local flexibility. Compport delivered both.

The rewards team could design a single overarching framework while configuring country-specific rules and policies within the same system. 

For example, Storable was able to configure different increase letter templates for each country, ensuring local compliance while maintaining a consistent global process framework.

This balance gave HR global oversight and managers local clarity, all in one place.

Clearer communication with employees

Communicating compensation decisions clearly was another priority. With Compport, HR could generate salary and bonus letters directly from the platform—fast, accurate, and consistent. Employees received transparent updates, and HR avoided hours of manual effort.

Decisions backed by data

With everything centralized, HR and leadership gained access to live dashboards and analytics. Budget tracking, scenario planning, and bias alerts helped improve the quality of outcomes. Instead of relying on static spreadsheets, decisions were now guided by data.
