Streamline Rights and Royalty Management in NetSuite
Automatically file royalty reports and submit payments to agencies, track financial obligations, and generate licensor-specific statements.
For companies in the brand, sports, publishing, media, or music licensing industry, managing complex royalty and rights obligations can be challenging. Without the right systems and reporting, filing royalty reports can be an extremely time-consuming, manual, and error-prone. Manual and spreadsheet-based royalty accounting processes that aren’t integrated with your financial system also prevent the corresponding royalty obligations from being captured. All of this makes it difficult to satisfy compliance and audit requirements.
With the MIBAR Rights and Royalty Management solution for NetSuite, licensees can now automatically file royalty reports and submit payments to agencies, track financial obligations, and generate licensor-specific statements across an unlimited number of contracts.
MIBAR’s Rights and Royalty Management solution is specifically designed for licensees that are currently using or are looking to purchase the NetSuite ERP platform.

“The Rights and Royalty Management solution from MIBAR is saving us massive amounts of time. Not only do we have to pay royalties, a lot of times we have to pay in advance. For example, if a college sports team had a $500 advance and I sell $100 worth of product, then I need the system to show that I had a $500 advance, I used $100 of that, and I still have a $400 advance left. We needed something to monitor that and keep track of that balance until it went negative which tells me when I need to start paying them based on units sold. We have royalty codes, dates when the license is available, who we’re supposed to pay – there’s a whole wealth of data that got encompassed, not just into the sales order aspect but also into the accounting system as well. It makes it very seamless. It works perfectly.”
