Handle Any Rights Agreement
The Rights Tracker™ System was initially designed for use in the world’s largest licensing firms and publishing houses, and can handle virtually any contract complexity including any combination of:
- Territory
- Language
- Digital content
- “Chunks”
- Formats
- Royalty payment details
- Etc.
Manage All Your Permissions
Permissions are a subset of subsidiary rights. Depending on your organization, they can be even more overwhelming than your traditional rights agreements. When you factor in collections, generating agreements, and tracking usage, managing permissions can quickly grow out of control and become a challenge to manage.
With Rights Tracker™ you can easily manage all your permissions for all your content. You can permission subsets of content, or entire works. And you can easily keep track of who owes you what.
Manage Your Receivables
One of the most time consuming aspects of royalty management is aggregating your sales files, and associating them with the appropriate titles. Rights Tracker™ makes this problem disappear. With it’s subright import capability, Rights Tracker™ automatically records your receipts and save them to the appropriate agreement.
Rights Tracker™ flags and displays sales errors, and quickly notifies you how and where to make corrections. Rights Tracker™ can identify a wide range of errors, including invalid sales entries, missing contracts, and incorrect ISBNs. Rights Tracker™ then automatically applies the sales correctly, eliminating the need to do any additional work.
Recording receipts is just one challenge to managing receivables – how do you know who has not yet paid? And then, how do you find the time to send them all dunning letters?
Rights Tracker™ solves both of these problems by quickly identify past due receipts, and automatically generate dunning letters on the spot.
Stop Losing Money on Expiring Agreements.
Rights Tracker™ quickly identifies revenue generating agreements that are nearing expiration, or are about to expire. This gives you enough advance notice so that you can attempt to extend the agreement, or find a new partner.
Identify New Revenue Opportunities from Existing Content.
Rights Tracker™ enables you to identify content that has not been fully exploited. You can easily map out exactly what rights you have, associated with all of your content. From there, identifying areas where you are missing rights income opportunities is easy.
Increase Efficiency by Integrating With Other Systems in Your Business
The Rights Tracker™ solution is designed to integrate with virtually any other system in your organization, and automatically load or transmit information.
Do you already record your receipts in a separate system? Do you already have a database of your titles and ISBNs? Do you have a record of all of your authors and their addresses? Eliminate the need to enter data twice, with:
- Title Management Integration
- Fulfillment Integration
- General Ledger Integration
Rights Tracker™ can integrate with virtually any other system in your business, including:
- QuickBooks
