The Pitch

Idea Description

LabelLedger automates royalty reconciliation across DSPs, distributors, and publishers for small indie labels. It ingests statements (CSV/API), matches streams/sales to label contracts with fuzzy metadata matching, and produces auditable reconciliation reports and scheduled payouts. The product targets independent labels and boutique distributors with complex catalogs and limited finance headcount. Unique approach: a reconciliation engine tuned for messy metadata plus automated payout orchestration and simple dispute workflows.

  • Auto-ingests DSP reports and normalizes pay-events
  • Matches earnings to catalog splits with provenance tracking
  • Schedules payouts and issues statements to artists/partners

The Edge

Differentiator

Built-for-label reconciliation logic (not blanket publishing tools) plus payout orchestration and auditor-friendly provenance that competitors (distributors or general accountants) don't provide.
