Self-Managed & Full-Service

Full-Service allows your organization to put the day-to-day work of commission accounting in the hands of APL’s experienced team. APL can assist with processing, reconciliation, adjustments, payments, statements, and other parts of the commission cycle while your organization maintains visibility into the process.
It depends on how you want to manage your commission operations. If you have an internal team that will manage the process, Self-Managed may be the better fit. If you want to reduce the administrative workload placed on your team, Full-Service may be a better option. Our team can help you determine which approach makes the most sense for your organization.
