In the world of premium eyewear, style and technology converge to set brands apart. For **Maui Jim**, with over **125 styles of UV-protective sunglasses**, the challenge wasn’t in design—it was in managing the complexity of incentive compensation.

Their compensation plans were **manually calculated and fragmented across 34 distinct plans**, requiring excessive administrative resources and creating blind spots for both sales reps and leadership. Account Executives lacked transparency into commissionable sales, Kahuna Club (President’s Club) qualification status, and compensation statements.

 

 

> **34 compensation plans managed manually—leaving reps without transparency and sales ops with inefficiencies.  
> **

Maui Jim needed a solution that could centralize incentive management, deliver transparency, and support future growth. Initially leaning toward Optymyze, they chose **SAP SuccessFactors Incentive Management** after Canidium and SAP partnered early in the sales cycle to demonstrate the solution’s flexibility, scalability, and reporting power.

The results were transformative. **34 plans were consolidated into 8 SAP SuccessFactors plans**, workflows were automated, and reps gained visibility into their commissions and forecasts through dashboards and reporting. Finance also benefited with improved auditability, standardized processes, and fewer errors in accruals.

> *“Canidium helped us move from manual, fragmented incentive management to a centralized, transparent system that empowers reps and streamlines operations.”*

By the end of the project, Maui Jim had not only simplified administration but also positioned its sales organization to scale with confidence, accuracy, and insight.
