Royalty Tracking & Royalty Software Case Studies
| Rowan & Littlefield |
| Challenge: Since its founding 30 years ago, The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, with nearly 30 imprints, has grown to become one of the largest independent book publishers and distributors in North America. Along with success came a sea of 20,000+ contracts and 35,000 statements, each with multiple payment variations. Projecting accurate cash flow needs and determining accounting balances had become overwhelming. Royalty statements were frequently late to accounting, causing internal frustration and affecting the publisher’s reputation with authors. |
| Silver Moon Press |
| Challenge: Silver Moon Press is a growing publisher for the school and library markets. They used Excel to track sales of each title and to generate and print invoices. At the end of each six-month royalty period, they tallied everything up all over again. The process required lots of keystrokes, many steps and, frankly, a high risk of human error. |
