Case Study: a Latin American distributor eliminates spreadsheet rights errors with Molten Cloud Royalties

Latin American Distributor cuts 34 spreadsheets down to one platform with Molten Cloud after a $120K royalty audit error

The Latin American distributor faced significant operational challenges as its catalog grew to 500 titles across 22 territories. Their system of 34 interconnected Excel spreadsheets led to a near-miss rights conflict that damaged a key buyer relationship and a royalty audit that uncovered $120,000 in cumulative formula errors. To resolve these issues, the distributor turned to Molten Cloud for its rights and royalties management platform.

Molten Cloud implemented a comprehensive migration path that included a data audit, parallel running of systems, and team training. The solution provided real-time avails checks, eliminated version conflicts and royalty calculation errors, and automated conflict alerts. This restored accuracy and credibility, preventing future licensing errors and ensuring reliable financial reporting.
