- Allows the Broker Managers to easily to see what commissions they are going to pay in the next Commission Run payment cycle and make changes if required.
ICM staff are very helpful and over the years they have assisted in solving technical problems while trying to added new functionality to ICM. ICM support goes above and beyond and based on the severity of your request you get a speedy response (less than 1 hour for high severity incidents 24/7). In the past I have corrupted data/cleared data after running a process, but Varicent were able to create a new temporary environment within about an hour and I was able to retrieve my lost data or fix the corrupted data.
