877-289-8431Managing Royalties can get complex - especially as the number of your licensing contracts grow. Tracking recoupments, past due payments, and making sure all royalties are accurate can be extremely cumbersome. Contracts not only have different rates for product categories - but also for territories, sales channels, and retailers.
The most straightforward contracts can quickly become more complicated with rate escalations and changing terms. Our royalty tracking software allows you to accurately manage your financial commitments across tens – or hundreds – of contracts.
One of the biggest surprises in licensing is finding out what you didn’t know. Are royalties reported accurately? Are products sold in compliance with contract terms? Stop losing hours to manual cross referencing – turn to DSI’s transformative royalty management software to streamline your royalty processing. With DSI’s royalty management software, all sales reported will be validated against their contract – non-complying sales are flagged. Rest assured royalties are accurately calculated – and sales & royalty reports are compliant.
With DSI, you will be assured sales reporting is consistent and the information you want is being captured using customizable reporting templates. With consistent data reported from all partners, you will have the data you need to make the best decisions for your licensing program.
