Automated royalties management

What’s the issue?

The media industry has to calculate and report royalties and revenues on thousands of titles and rights holders. Most of the time, they do so by tracking it in manual spreadsheets. That comes with a slow, opaque and error-prone way of working. It results in bottlenecks, ad-hoc reporting, and distrust and frustration with rights holders.

“We want to accelerate the money flow from viewers to content creators by ensuring accurate and automated royalties management calculation across the entire value chain.” – Maria Tanjala, co-founder FilmChain

FilmChain’s solution

FilmChain replaces the manual processes by introducing a unified enterprise platform for royalties management. The clear user interface allows to set up multiple parameters for each license deal, to capture financial data and to generate reporting documents that can be published to an online client dashboard.
