Matthew Cuthill

Director Digital Transformation – Finance

SANDS Partners consultants arrived at our headquarters for kick-off . My first impression was that they knew what they were talking about, they were very credible. They asked many searching questions about various components, and we delved into the details. It is reassuring to know that they were focused on the details and have experience in this field.

Philip van Heerden

Head of RevOps

CaptivateIQ has been expanding its partner network as the business continues to experience significant growth. One area of focus is extending our global reach to provide more high-quality service delivery options for our customers. The team at SANDS Partners has over 15 years of domain expertise and is the premier partner for incentive compensation services in Eastern Europe.

Trevor Childers

Head of Enterprise Sales

Everyone from the SANDS Partners team was very supportive from the very beginning of the implementation project, including the fact that we wanted to accelerate the implementation cycle as much as we could. We wanted to get up and running as quickly as possible. The SANDS Partners team was great about starting the work quickly and they were very flexible even with some slowdowns from different sides. Also the team was  pretty transparent, pretty open, and with a good level of communication about what was happening. They handled it the right way.

Ronak Dave

Financial and Sales Operations Manager

Demand for ZINKT products is growing fast, so it was important for us to find a key strategic service partner we can trust to provide best-in-class service in the EMEA markets.
When we work with our clients, we always take a holistic approach to projects, making sure we understand the upstream processes that affect payments accurately. The deep and extensive experience in the SANDS Partners team is unique both in the area of ​​SPM and related upstream systems (such as Salesforce), which makes SANDS Partners an obvious partner for ZINKT.
What is the most important, our teams focus on the same fundamental goal – everything we do is to ensure our customers’ success.

Tom Swinbourne

Chief Executive Officer

Fastmarkets worked with SANDS Partners to implement our new Xactly Incent instance with an integration into Salesforce. The team we worked with was very professional, made themselves available on short notice and helped shaping the system as we were intending it to be. Their flexibility and support were top class and it allowed us to roll out a working system within our tight timeframes. The collaboration was pleasant and efficient, I would highly recommend this team and company to implement medium to large scale incentive automation projects.

Hugo Robein

Divisional Head of Sales Operations

„We choose SANDS Partners to cooperate on a project related to the commission system for our sellers. We knew it is going to be a difficult project to manage and maintain within the short time frame. By establishing a strong relationship built on mutual trust, professionalism, competence, flexibility and common understanding of the goal, we achieved it. That is why we are issuing this certificate of professionalism, competence and flexibility to this excellent relationship that started over a year ago.
The most important lesson we learned during this project is that choosing a competent, flexible and trusted vendor is critical to the success of the project.
