Components of the software include functionality to manage sales incentives, bonuses, equity, merit pay, long term incentives and channel partner incentives.[1] Competitors include Xactly, Oracle, and SuccessFactors.

History

beqom was founded as Excentive International in 2009, by software executives coming from Hyperion, OutlookSoft and SAP.[2][3]

The company gained notability in 2009 as one of the few HR software vendors offering a comprehensive compensation application.[4] That same year, the company began its worldwide expansion with the opening of its North American headquarters.[5]

On September 1, 2013, the company changed its name to beqom.[6]

The company has completed five funding rounds, starting with a $2.5 million seed round in 2009 and a $8.5 million venture round in 2011. In July 2014, Swisscom Ventures, the investing arm of Swisscom AG, and Renaissance PME, a Swiss pension investing fund managed by Swiss technology investor Vinci Capital, announced that it had completed a financing round with beqom of $10.6 million to help fund its international expansion efforts.[7] In July 2017, beqom raised a further $35 million from Goldman Sachs to reinforce its global presence, increase the direct sales force, and further develop indirect sales channels.[8] Altogether, beqom has raised a total of $59.6 million in funding.

In October 2019, beqom CEO Fabio Ronga was distinguished as the winner of the 2019 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year award.[9]
