CaptivateIQ: FAQ

Does Lanshore implement CaptivateIQ?

Yes: implementation, plan modeling, integrations, and ongoing managed comp operations on CaptivateIQ.

Can Lanshore connect CaptivateIQ to our AI tools?

Yes. Lanshore builds agentic workflows against CaptivateIQ, from Claude Code and n8n to fully custom agents under your accounts. CaptivateIQ also lists an MCP server for AI assistants as coming soon.

Is CaptivateIQ a good fit for enterprise comp plans?

Often, yes. It's a Leader in both major analyst evaluations. Fit depends on plan complexity, data volumes, and team model; Lanshore runs platform assessments to answer this for your specific plans.

How does Lanshore move commissions from spreadsheets to CaptivateIQ?

In five steps: inventory every plan document and the workbook logic that actually pays people, rebuild that logic in CaptivateIQ with each rule documented against its plan clause, load the payee roster and the history needed for clawbacks and disputes, run at least one full cycle in parallel with the spreadsheets and trace every variance to a cause, then cut over and train your administrators. For a mid-market plan set (3 to 6 plans, up to about 1,000 payees), a Lanshore spreadsheet-to-platform migration typically runs 10 to 14 weeks from kickoff to cutover, including one parallel-run cycle. That range is Lanshore's figure across platforms, not a CaptivateIQ-specific one.

What does Lanshore integrate around CaptivateIQ?

The systems that feed and consume commissions: the CRM for opportunities and crediting, the HRIS for the roster and reporting lines, payroll for payouts, and the ERP or finance system for bookings and accruals. Each inbound load is validated before calculation and each outbound file is reconciled back to approved results. Across its engagement history, Lanshore has integrated SPM platforms with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Oracle, Workday, NetSuite, and ADP, plus billing, order management, and data warehouse sources: more than 20 distinct source systems in all.
