statements read in
for every distributor and service
the sales and usage reports the services send (DDEX calls the format DSR) loaded straight into one place.
- one place for every statement
your royalty statements, read in rather than retyped.
we build royalty and splits dashboards for labels and publishers: the statements your distributors and streaming services send are read in rather than retyped, your deal terms are written down once and applied every period, and each artist or partner sees only what they should. we build the ledger to your terms; we do not administer rights, audit a distributor or sign off the numbers.
built to your deal terms, from the statements you already receive.

how it runs.
diagnostic
most projects start with a paid diagnostic: one week, $10,000, and the full fee comes off the build if you go ahead within 90 days. it gives you the written scope, and you keep that document either way.scope
the scope puts what gets built, the price and the ship date in writing before anything is built. the price comes from what the catalog and the roster actually need, not from a tier picked off a page.build
the build follows the scope. the parts most agencies skip are scoped in on purpose: the licence terms written per sale, what happens to a property when an artist leaves the roster, and who sees which royalty numbers.launch and transfer
at launch the code, the domains, the merchant account, the customer list and the analytics move into your name. there's no licence to renew and no monthly fee on the platform itself.after launch
your team edits copy, prices, art and releases from a dashboard at no monthly cost. or you can keep us on a retainer for ongoing engineering, billed monthly and cancellable any month.
