Integrate data from CRM, ERP, HR, and financial systems into a unified platform to support accurate, consistent, and traceable incentive execution.

Akeron Vulki is not just a payout engine, it’s a strategic performance platform that aligns incentives to company priorities, fosters engagement, and scales impact. Growth and alignment are enabled through:
Incentive plans are built to directly support strategic priorities—from revenue and profitability to growth initiatives and customer retention.
Reinforce the right commercial behaviors by aligning variable pay with sales priorities, coverage models, and product or customer strategies.
Design differentiated plans by role, geography, tenure, and performance history ensuring relevance and equity across diverse teams.
Go beyond revenue-based metrics by incorporating Management by Objectives (MBOs) and qualitative KPIs tied to strategic and cross-functional goals. Vulki supports MBO-based incentive plans for any employee type—from marketing to operations, finance, and professional services—not just sales teams.
With the Payee App and Manager Dashboards, performance can be tracked continuously, increasing self-awareness, engagement, and mid-cycle course correction.
Use embedded AI and Copilot-integrated analytics to simulate plan impacts, detect performance trends, and make strategic adjustments—faster and smarter.
Quickly adjust incentive models in response to changing priorities or market dynamics without rework, recoding, or delays.
Transparent, tailored, and motivating plans strengthen engagement, fairness, and loyalty—helping retain high performers and strategic talent.
The Vulki app delivers real-time transparency and instant feedback on goals, earnings, and performance—right in the hands of employees and managers. This clarity builds trust, empowers self-correction, and reinforces a culture of accountability.
By making incentives visible, understandable, and continuously trackable, Vulki strengthens:
With Vulki, performance management becomes a daily dialogue—not a quarterly surprise.
ERP and CRM systems do a lot but they’re not built to manage incentive complexity or drive commercial performance. That’s where Akeron Vulki SPM adds real value.
Vulki connects easily to the systems you already use, like Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics, thanks to its open, API-ready architecture. No heavy customization. No disruption.
It brings the specialized tools needed to manage sales incentives, MBOs, and commercial strategy across teams. You get the best of both worlds: the structure of your existing platforms, and the flexibility of a solution designed for performance and growth.
