Period close
One clear view of what is ready.
Six steps. One reporting cycle.
A royalty period, from first file to final statement.
Follow the work in order. Qlero connects the data, decisions, and balances your team needs at each step.
Import sales data
Start with the distributor and DSP reports for your reporting cycle. Keep the source files organized by period so your team can see what has arrived and what still needs attention.
Map and validate
Map columns with reusable templates, match sales to your catalog, and investigate unmatched lines. Check the imported totals against the source before moving on.
Source columns and mapping rules, side by side.
Explore imports and integrationsApply deal terms
Use tree-structured deal models to express the agreement: splits, revenue bases, territory rules, and exceptions. Reuse models across releases instead of maintaining a separate workbook for each deal.
Calculate royalties
Calculate the period against those terms, including the applicable costs and recoupment. Review the draft amounts while there is still time to investigate a rule or a source line.
A deal tree makes the rule and its exception visible.
Read about complex deal termsReconcile balances
Review opening balances, advances, costs, reserves, and adjustments alongside the new royalties. Explain what remains unreported and carry the right balances into the next cycle.
Generate statements
Publish reviewed statements with the royalty and balance detail artists need. Keep a clear distinction between what has been calculated, published, closed, and paid.
Statement balances keep the result connected to the period.

STMPD RCRDS, MDLBEAST, Woody Trees, and more run their royalties on Qlero
The Qlero team has been competent, responsive, and highly supportive throughout the entire process.
Omid KhalvatiPrisma Music GroupWe've been looking for a royalty platform that actually understands how a modern label operates, not just a glorified spreadsheet with a login. Qlero gets the technical depth right, and that's rare in this space.
Watse de JongSTMPD RCRDSFor us it came down to two things: data accuracy and artist transparency. Qlero delivers on both, and the team moves fast, which matters when you're scaling a catalog.
Steven HiemstraSTMPD RCRDSWorking with Qlero is making our royalty accounting faster, clearer, and far more adaptable to how our projects evolve. It simplifies complex workflows while giving us the flexibility to adjust as data and priorities shift. It keeps pace with the way we operate.

Waldemar NordströmSuperhumanBefore your first royalty run
A few practical questions.
Does Qlero replace our bookkeeping software?
Qlero handles the royalty detail: sales files, contracts, calculations, payee balances, and statements. Your bookkeeping system still handles the company’s general ledger and wider financial reporting. Confirm the exports and reconciliation your accountant needs as part of your setup.
When should a label move beyond spreadsheets?
Look at the work behind each royalty run. Repeated file cleanup, formulas copied between agreements, balances carried by hand, and artist questions that require rebuilding a calculation are useful signs that a dedicated system could help. Bring one recent reporting period to an evaluation and compare the actual work involved.
Can we bring our distributor files and existing deal terms?
Qlero has reusable mapping templates for CSV, Excel, and structured sales files, plus tree-structured deal models. During a demo, we can review a representative source file and agreement to show the mapping and terms your workflow needs. Preparing examples is optional.
How do we move historical data from another system?
Start by reviewing your catalog, agreements, historical statements, and opening balances. Agree what history needs to move, how to reconcile it, and whether to run a reporting period in parallel before switching. Migration scope and timing are discussed for your operation.
How much does Qlero cost?
From €200/month. Qlero is priced around the sales rows your team processes, not the number of contracts or tracks in your catalog. The final quote also depends on your entities, workflow scope, migration, integrations, and support needs. Use the pricing page to explore your setup, or discuss it in a demo.
Is Qlero suitable for publishing as well as master royalties?
This workflow focuses on labels and master royalties. Dedicated publishing workflows are in development. If you need society income, writer accounting, or both master and publishing administration, discuss those requirements with the team and confirm what is available before choosing a setup.
