Financial Solutions for Studios & Distributors
"Our partnership with Whip Media enables us to integrate our performance tracking in real-time and deepen our understanding of how our content engages with viewers across multiple platforms." - JP Villanueva, Senior Director Digital Distribution
Better Manage Growing Transaction Volumes
Transaction volumes from AVOD/FAST and Subscription Streaming Apps are growing like never before. Add this to already large volumes from TVOD/EST/PVOD and your accounting teams face monumental challenges. The Whip Media Content Value Management (CVM) Platform automates this entire process directly from your partners all the way to revenue, so your team can focus on growing the business and improving margins.
The Industry’s Leading Performance Tracking Solution
Our Performance Tracking workflow is the dominant industry solution used by every major Hollywood studio and dozens of other large distributors. It reduces the time and effort of manual performance data aggregation to give your team clean, consistent, real-time third-party content usage and revenue data – from more than 1,100 platforms around the world – to automate financial and sales reporting.
Streamline Revenue Management
Improve revenue accounting for performance-based deals with powerful capabilities that automate the reconciliation of reported revenue to contract-calculated revenue and dynamically generate accruals, revenue recognition and invoicing. Our Revenue Management workflow is a fully auditable solution with SOC1 Type II and SOC2 Type II certification.
Solutions For Subscription Streaming Apps
Keep pace with a growing number of subscription streaming apps and the massive influx of data coming in from a rising number of wholesale partners. We provide full support with fully managed retrieval and ingestion of reporting in different formats, complete visibility into your app subscriptions across every wholesale partner, and fully automated accruals, refunds processing, revenue recognition and deferrals.
Managing The Growth Of AVOD/FAST Distribution
AVOD/FAST distribution is exploding, offering a new and highly profitable way to exploit your entire library and expose new generations of viewers to your content. Keeping track of revenue and viewership at an episode level can be challenging due to widely varying reporting from platforms. The CVM Platform provides detailed reporting by episode and across platforms, immediately giving you the data you need to grow your business.
Financial Solutions for Platforms & Operators
Royalty Reporting With Greater Accuracy & Control
Deliver studio compliant reporting – automatically – to all of your content providers with the VOD Royalties workflow, part of the CVM VOD & Streaming Suite. With support for all TVOD, EST and PVOD models, VOD Royalties dynamically calculates the royalties due to each studio, while tracking minimum guarantees.
Accelerate Settlement Processing
Our Linear Settlements workflow eliminates tedious manual work while ensuring control, accuracy and auditability for all pay TV, free to air and SVOD fees. Automated programmer settlements will directly consume subscriber billing data, calculate all fee types from residential to B2B, generate statements and invoicing, and provide analytics into costs.
Streamline Title-Level Revenue Reporting
Meet reporting obligations, improve accuracy and control, and streamline title-level revenue reporting to hundreds of content providers. The AVOD/FAST Partner Payments workflow allocates monthly revenue down to title, market and other dimensions for each AVOD/FAST revenue stream, and reports revenue allocations at different views, tracks content costs to subscriber level, and generates KPIs such as cost/viewing minute.
Control and Manage Content Cost
ASC 920 and direct-to-consumer are impacting the industry, forcing networks and streaming platforms to revisit the way they account for content costs. Our Content Cost Amortization and Payments module automates and enforces policy into the way that content is accounted for and paid. Direct integrations to ERP systems increase cost savings and control.
