A user should be able to view royalties data for multiple artists

1. What value are we adding?

Publishers and Record Labels receive distribution statements from Distributors and PROs containing front- and back-end royalties respectively. These CSV files can be many megabytes in size, containing an extremely large amount of data.

The goal for this user currently involves working out how much money is owed to each Artist, not just as a whole, but for each release (as each release will have its own 'deal' (percentage splits and payout terms) and balance).

Usually, the Artist will receive a summary and a request for invoice. This is not always delivered in a reliable way, and there are many public anecdotes about labels and artists parting ways due to disagreements on this subject.

Using Trackshift, a Publisher/Label user should be able to upload any statement and quickly see it broken down by artist, with full data breakdowns and automatically calculated balances visible by both Label and Artist.

2. What does it look like?
