We helped the UK’s leading music licensing company revolutionise its royalty payments process

We supported PPL’s long term transformation strategy by helping deliver automated, accurate data and moving away from manual processes.

How we made it work

PPL is one of the world’s leading music licensing companies. It wanted to improve the accuracy and speed with which it was able to share royalties with its artists.

We built an API which would allow the sharing of data between PPL and Auddly, a song data hub. By automating the data management process, PPL could trust the accuracy of the information it was receiving and distribute royalties faster. The API was implemented using AWS Lambda with Amazon API-Gateway to align with PPL’s wider transformation plans.

Momentum gained

The link up with Auddly, delivered via Infomentum’s API, has made a significant improvement to the speed and accuracy at which royalties can be calculated and paid by PPL. It has also reduced the cost of processing information.

Having established a secure way of exchanging information, PPL is now well placed to expose its digital assets using APIs. This will give it the foundations to grow its platform for exchanging information globally with other music organisations.
