Read on and see, why Royalty Producer is the royalty system for "the rest of us".

Easy To Use Interface

Royalty Producer offers a great user experience by presenting all major functions in a single window design. Use the tabs at the bottom of the screen to access your products, songs, sales and royalty statements with a single click. But the greatest time saver is its gorgeous logic that mimics the real world in perfection, reducing the learning curve to just a couple of days, not months.

Modular Concept

OFFICER solutions is providing royalty systems for the independent music industry since 1996. Today, Royalty Producer covers all business situations of modern music companies, but 360° models and a fast moving industry made us create a powerful tool for every creative company. So Royalty Producer can also be used to track royalties on all digital sales like apps, fonts, pictures and e-books, as well as all physical sales or licensing income.

You can choose from different modules to build the right package for your company's needs. Please review our product page for more details. Feel free to ask us about the possibilities we can offer to your individual company. If you are doing royalties, you are in the right place.

Flexible Meta Data Import

With Royalty Producer, manual data entry becomes a shady souvenir of the past. Use the powerful meta data import features to set up Royalty Producer in no time. The flexible import dialog allows you to manually assign the existing columns of your import file to Royalty Producer's field structure. All songs, playlists and products are created on the fly and will be accessible only minutes after you first opened Royalty Producer.

Powerful Contracts

Royalty Producer manages to present you a copy of reality, when it comes to contract management and royalty rules. You will create the same amount of contracts in the system as you signed on paper. A contract can represent the usage rights for one song, an album, multiple albums or even whole catalogs and song libraries.

All usage rights and territories are defined in a contract. A contract can be assigned to individual tracks or to a full product. Songs and products can have unlimited contracts. There are no limits in your business life and Royalty Producer understands just that.

Process thousands of sales lines the easy way

Royalty Producer can import sales from all sources in Excel, CSV or Text/Tab format. While EANs/UPCs and ISRCs are now the industry standard IDs for sales reporting, it can happen that you receive wrong IDs or even no ID at all. Royalty Producer offers flexible detection features and automatically falls back onto Artist & Title information, when necessary.

An auto-learning feature allows the detection and "learning" of additional IDs and catalog numbers, so importing sales from the same source, again, will be seamless. A special logic compresses the hundred thousand lines of Youtube or Spotify streams by up to 90%. Sales can be reported in any currency and they are converted automatically into your local currency by just entering the total that you finally received on your bank account.

Unified Royalty Statements for all income types

Royalty Producer generates one statement per licensor. You can have all income types (e.g. physical, digital sales & publishing) on a single statement. Every contract (e.g. first album contract and second album contract) appear in their individual section with their own royalties. A fine grained cross-colateralization option allows you to define if and how different contracts can be summed up or not. Let Royalty Producer take care of reserves, advances, payment limits, negative balances and more, automatically.

Automated statement delivery

Let our Transporter add-on create PDF, Excel or CSV files for all statements, attach them to an email and send them out without any user interaction. If you have lots of licensors to serve with royalty statements or if you send out statements more frequently, Transporter is a great time saver for you.
