Just-ROYALTIES: Q&A Session with Matthew Ash

Why do clients choose Just-ROYALTIES? What are their key motivations, and what specific issues does Just-ROYALTIES address?

If you are a large-scale distribution company and are questioning, ‘How can I simplify and systematise royalty reporting?’ you might be aware of the complexities involved. These arise when distributing titles across various territories and formats. Consider the following questions:

How can you accurately calculate your commission, which varies depending on territory and format?

How will you accurately report sales to the producers from whom you purchased the rights?

How can you deduct the costs incurred in marketing and distributing the content?

What if you need to recover a lump-sum advance before paying further royalties to the production company?

Many companies still rely on Excel for creating, calculating and managing their royalty reports, primarily due to the lack of better alternatives. Calculating royalties for a single title in Excel might take around half an hour. However, for a distribution company handling over 100 titles, using Excel becomes impractical. Not only is it time-consuming, but manual data entry also increases the risk of errors. Consequently, royalty reporting becomes such a troublesome task that some companies perform it only twice a year.

For TV and film companies looking to improve cash flow, a service like Just-ROYALTIES could be a solution because it allows monthly royalty processing. It greatly accelerates the process, enabling you to calculate and distribute all statements for a period within seconds. If your current royalty reporting process takes days, Just-ROYALTIES offers significant advantages.

Distribution companies, particularly Royalty Accountants, experience the greatest benefits from our service. We significantly reduce the time required for royalty reporting, from weeks to minutes. Additionally, Royalty Managers can trust the accuracy of their data more, as our system handles all the calculations. This results in faster and more precise royalty reporting.

The cost varies depending on whether you are also implementing a finance system like Business Central. Without this, an investment of £10,000 enhances your royalty reporting capabilities. For those upgrading to Business Central, the investment is considerably higher, often tens of thousands, to set up multiple companies. Additionally, there is a monthly licence fee of £175. This significant investment is offset by the substantial benefits gained.

Consider the value of your time. Our service enables the automatic distribution of statements in minutes instead of weeks, liberating the Royalty Accountant to focus on more impactful tasks. For a Royalty Accountant, reducing a task from three weeks to one hour saves a significant portion of their salary. Assuming the usage of just the royalty aspect of our service, priced at £10,000, most clients recoup their investment within six months.

We typically ask for a minimum twelve-month contract, as it is necessary to use the service for this duration to fully realise its value.

Some rights management solutions offer aspects of royalty reporting. However, distribution companies that switch to Just-ROYALTIES often do so because they have not found satisfaction with these alternatives.

We are developing a rights management application named Just-RIGHTS. Typically, rights and royalties are handled on separate platforms. Just-RIGHTS is therefore attracting significant interest from television industry clients, who want to greatly streamline their processes by automatically populating their rights and royalty data simultaneously. The launch is scheduled for early 2024. Additionally, Copilot will soon be integrated into all our applications, including Just-ROYALTIES.
