Buyer’s Guide: Compensation Planning Software (2025)

Spreadsheets break down, and rigid HRIS tools that need outside experts only push teams back into spreadsheets when changes cannot wait.

This guide gives you a practical framework, an editable RFP template, and clear criteria to select a platform that keeps every cycle on track.

What’s Inside:

  • When it’s time to graduate from spreadsheets or legacy HRIS tools
  • The 8 critical capabilities your next platform must include
  • Built-in RFP template to align internal stakeholders and vet vendors
  • Guide used by comp leaders at companies from 200 to 10,000+ employees
  • How to test platforms in real-world scenarios before you commit

Pro tip: Ask for a sandbox so you can test your own scenarios before you buy. If a vendor won’t provide it, treat that as a red flag.
