Synygy Enters into Significant Expansion of Sales Compensation Management Agreement with U.S. Cellular

Four years ago, U.S. Cellular partnered with Synygy to automate a portion of its SCM processes and to assume responsibility for the ongoing processing of the sales incentive compensation for 2,200 of the company’s associates and agent-channel representatives.

“We value our partnership with Synygy,” said Jim Holmes, Sr. Director of Sales Operations at U.S. Cellular. “Their solutions offer us flexibility and free-up time spent on administrative tasks so that our associates can remain focused on serving our customers.”

The expansion project adds some 1,600 participants to the work that Synygy is doing, including U.S. Cellular’s sales management team and direct-channel representatives.

“When we started the U.S. Cellular project, we had no experience in the telecommunications sector,” said Mark A. Stiffler, Synygy president and CEO. “Now the management of sales compensation plans for telecommunications companies represents a large portion of Synygy’s total revenue.”
