Spotlight on Éditions Maison des Langues (EMDL)
Éditions Maison des Langues (EMDL) is a subsidiary of the Spanish publishing house Difusión, based in Barcelona. Difusión is a leading publisher of educational materials for language learning, particularly in the field of Spanish as a foreign language (ELE).
The connection between the two entities is reflected in their editorial collaboration and shared pedagogical approach, both focused on modern, interactive methods aligned with European standards such as the CEFR. Difusión brings international expertise, while EMDL develops and adapts the content for French-speaking and local markets.
EMDL currently generates €4.5 million in annual revenue.
How did EMDL manage copyright before using Crealo?
" We were using a system that wasn’t designed for managing copyrights, which made royalty reporting extremely burdensome. ”
“We previously relied on a CRM database that simply wasn’t suited for rights management. March was always a difficult month for me, having to prepare and send all the royalty statements. It was time-consuming, and errors could slip through. It was such a painstaking process that we even had to ask our parent company in Spain to handle royalty reporting for us on occasion.”
With Crealo, EMDL reduced URSSAF reporting from one month to just minutes
We spoke with Laureen Lagarde, Administrative and Financial Manager at Éditions Maison des Langues, about how Crealo has transformed their internal processes. Here’s what she shared:
" We started with basic use of Crealo to calculate royalties, then gradually adopted new features as the platform evolved, especially the automation of URSSAF declarations. ”
“Since implementing Crealo, our workflow has completely changed for the better. All contract data is centralized in one place, which saves us an enormous amount of time. We can send statements to authors directly from the platform or make them available in their personal portal.
I now file URSSAF declarations in just a few minutes, compared to the month it used to take.”
" Thanks to Crealo, we’ve gained time, improved quality, and strengthened our reputation with authors.”
“We even gave a presentation to our parent company in Spain to recommend rolling out Crealo across the group.”
