Acquiring and selling licenses is safe and easy with our rights sales solution

Marketing and selling rights is a critical business for many publishers. To run their business in the most efficient way, rights managers require a clear overview of which rights have been acquired from an author, and which rights remain available to sell.

Rights Sales Solution

A frequent problem is ambiguous information about restrictions and the lack of an automated tracking system. In order to meet these challenges, the rights department should implement a solution that supports and guides rights managers throughout the sales process, from checking rights availability to sales reporting.

Smart, easy, mobile: handle your rights sales processes with efficiency and flexibility

You’ll get a clear overview of the rights which have been acquired from an author or agency and the rights which are available to sell, including the possibility to effectively track registered interest and options to the point of contract negotiations and agreement.

And you’ll always have accurate, up-to-date information on hand such as specific areas of interest and payment history, in additional to flexible and extensive reporting on revenue and activity. The solution frees you from the complex, and time-consuming research and administration work which is heightened by the increased granularity of the digital rights sphere.

This gives you more time to dedicate to proactively marketing your available rights. When integrated with a contract management system, the Rights Sales Manager ensures transparency with regard to acquired subsidiary rights and the associated terms. Once an agreement has been reached, it is possible to track payments and statements due.
 

Some of the functionalities described here are covered by other apps of our Rights Sales Solution; see 8-page brochure available for download below for details.
