What problem does Crealo solve?

Royalties management is a complex and time-consuming process for publishers and a major source of errors without a dedicated tool.

Royalties management relies on complex data. Publishers must deal with sales from multiple channels, contracts with varied clauses, specific calculation rules, and often fragmented historical data related to royalties and payments.

Crealo addresses these challenges by offering a platform designed to cover all key stages of royalties management. The software simplifies the entire royalties management cycle through an intuitive interface and features designed with and for industry professionals.

Crealo covers all key stages of royalties management: calculations, contracts, rights assignments, payments, declarations, and accounting.

You can generate PDF royalty statements generated quarterly, semi-annually, or monthly. 

Scale and complexity. If you manage tens or hundreds of contracts with variable royalty rates, escalators, advances, and co-edition deals, you need a purpose-built solution not a spreadsheet. Crealo handle this natively.
