For Publishers
Publishing royalties as
complex as your catalogue
Keep works, agreed splits and publishing royalty records together. Import supported society reports, reconcile payment evidence and review the account allocation before creating pending statements.
The publishing problem
Publishing royalty management is notoriously complex. Here's what we hear from publishers every day
Complex Splits
Managing co-writer, producer, and publisher splits manually across hundreds of tracks
Territory Headaches
Different royalty rates, sub-publishers, and accounting periods in every territory
Contributor Disputes
Contributors questioning their splits because there's no transparent record
Scale Limits
Spreadsheets breaking down as your catalogue grows
