Commission management, end to end.

CommBeast takes insurer remittance statements from arrival to payment: parsing statements, reconciling them against bank deposits, posting the month, and generating the payments and invoices that follow — with every figure traceable back to the line it came from.

The monthly cycle

One pipeline, from statement to settlement.

Commission processing is a sequence, not a pile of spreadsheets. CommBeast models the whole month as a tracked pipeline, so at any moment it's clear what's done, what's outstanding, and what the next action is.

1

Ingest

Statements arrive by upload or straight from a monitored mailbox, and are parsed into commission lines.

2

Reconcile

Bank deposits are matched to statements automatically, with rounding tolerances and manual override.

3

Post

A validated month-end batch locks the period once the pre-posting checks pass.

4

Sync

Posted commission records are pushed to the CRM, idempotently and with rollback.

5

Pay

Payment splits are generated and issued as bank-ready direct entry files.

6

Distribute

Invoices and statements are raised in the ledger and sent to recipients.

Line-level detail

Every dollar keeps its provenance.

Statements are broken down to individual commission lines and stay queryable for the life of the record — by policy, client, adviser, provider or period.

  • GST handled natively. Gross is the single input; GST and net are derived, so figures reconcile rather than drift.
  • Policy matching. Lines resolve to CRM policy records, with unmatched items surfaced instead of silently dropped.
  • Posted data is locked. Once a period is posted, its lines can't be edited out from underneath the numbers already reported.
  • Exports on demand. Any filtered view can be taken out as a spreadsheet.
Integrations

Connected where the work actually happens.

The integrations aren't export buttons. Records are read and written in both directions, with the reconciliation, retry and rollback behaviour that financial data requires.

Salesforce

Bidirectional. Policy records are pulled in for matching; posted commissions are written back.

  • Commission records created per posted batch
  • Duplicate-safe pushes with rollback
  • Commission rates derived and validated against the CRM

Xero

Invoices and recipient-created tax invoices raised directly in the ledger.

  • OAuth connection per organisation
  • Account code and supplier mapping
  • Push status tracked per payment

Microsoft 365

A monitored mailbox is polled so statements are ingested without anyone re-keying them.

  • Attachments detected and routed by provider
  • Encrypted workbooks supported
  • Processed mail filed automatically

Banking

Payment runs are produced as ABA direct entry files ready for upload.

  • Standard ABA descriptive, detail and total records
  • Separate source accounts per payment type
  • Statement CSVs imported for reconciliation

Document parsing

Every provider formats statements differently. Both approaches are supported.

  • Column templates for known layouts
  • AI extraction for PDFs and irregular files
  • Totals reconciled against the source document

Distribution

Statements and remittance advices reach recipients as part of the run.

  • Generated PDF statements
  • Bulk send with per-recipient tracking
  • Delivery state recorded against each payment
Controls

Built to be audited.

The platform handles bank details and client financial data, so the controls are part of the design rather than bolted on afterwards.

Tamper-evident audit trail

Money movements, permission changes and configuration edits are recorded with before-and-after values, hash-chained so alterations to history are detectable.

Scoped access

Standard users are restricted to their assigned locations and firms on both list and detail views. Administrative actions are separately gated.

Two-factor authentication

Authenticator-app 2FA on every account, with rate-limited sign-in and short-lived sessions that are revoked on password change.

Encrypted credentials

Third-party credentials and file passwords are encrypted at rest, and the application refuses to start rather than fall back to storing them in plain text.

Protected perimeter

Traffic is filtered at the edge with geographic restriction and rate limiting, over enforced TLS with a strict content security policy.

Reversible operations

Posting, CRM pushes and payment runs can be rolled back. Concurrent operations are guarded so a retry can't double-process a batch.
