Publishing royalty workflows without spreadsheet sprawl
Roster helps publishers organize works, writer splits, territory-aware rights context and statement workflows in one music-native operating system.
Workflow
Everything this team needs in one connected flow
Register works and writers
Keep songs, writers, shares and rights context organized before income arrives.
Roster is built to support music-native records, so works and contributors can stay connected to later accounting.
Territory-aware records
Model splits and rights context across territories, platforms and sources.
Publishing often changes by region. Roster keeps that complexity visible instead of hiding it in spreadsheet notes.
Writer split workflows
Track writer shares, approvals and contributor details in a structured workflow.
Split records can support cleaner statement generation and fewer disputes when accounting periods arrive.
Writer statements
Prepare clear publishing statements and supporting breakdowns for contributors.
Roster's statement workflow is designed to keep review, reporting and evidence together.
Import income sources
Bring royalty data into one place for review, matching and summary reporting.
The platform direction supports publisher workflows that need multiple data sources to reconcile cleanly.
Rights evidence
Keep a clearer record of ownership, approvals and restrictions around each work.
Evidence-backed records help publishers move faster without pretending rights data is simpler than it is.

Publishing needs structure without losing complexity
