Digital Rights & Revenue Management Platform for Media & Entertainment

Titlepool is a growing media technology company serving independent filmmakers and production studios, focused on modernizing rights management and revenue distribution in the entertainment industry.

The client needed a sophisticated platform to handle complex film distribution workflows, including rights management, multi-party revenue sharing, and automated payment waterfalls. They required a dedicated development team with expertise in financial systems, blockchain transparency, and AI-powered contract analysis to build a production-ready solution.

The film industry's revenue distribution involves significant complexity - multiple rights holders, intricate payment structures with cascading waterfall logic, and the need for complete financial transparency across all stakeholders. The client's existing manual processes created administrative bottlenecks, compliance risks, and difficulties in scaling their business. They needed a platform that could:

• Automate complex payment distributions across 40+ different revenue split scenarios
• Provide immutable audit trails for all financial transactions
• Parse legal contracts using AI to extract key terms and conditions
• Integrate seamlessly with payment processors and financial systems
• Scale to handle growing transaction volumes as the business expanded

The technical challenge required deep expertise in payment systems, blockchain integration, and AI/ML, capabilities that would be difficult and time-consuming to build with an internal team.

Superscript provided a dedicated team of senior developers, QA engineers, and a technical lead who worked exclusively on this platform for an extended engagement. The team took ownership of the entire product development lifecycle—from architecture design through deployment and ongoing enhancements.

What we delivered:

Smart Payment Infrastructure Built a sophisticated payment waterfall engine supporting 47 distinct distribution scenarios, with automated calculations and real-time processing. Integrated Stripe for payment processing with custom logic to handle complex multi-party splits and reconciliation.

Blockchain Audit Trail Implemented blockchain-based transaction logging to provide immutable records of all payment distributions, ensuring transparency and trust among rights holders. This gave stakeholders verifiable proof of payment accuracy without relying on manual reconciliation.

AI-Powered Contract Analysis Developed machine learning capabilities to read and extract key information from legal contracts, significantly reducing manual data entry and the risk of human error in capturing distribution terms.

Complete Platform Features Delivered contract management, title management, customizable payment workflows, shareable lookbooks, and comprehensive reporting—all built as a cohesive system rather than disconnected modules.

Enterprise-Grade Process Applied rigorous engineering practices including mandatory source control, continuous integration/deployment, comprehensive testing, and SOC2-aligned security protocols. The client received regular sprint demos and maintained full code ownership.

The platform launched successfully and is now used by filmmakers and studios to manage their revenue distributions. The solution has proven particularly valuable in:

Operational Efficiency: Automated workflows that previously required days of manual work, freeing the client's team to focus on growth rather than administration

Business Scaling: The platform's architecture supports the client's expansion into new markets and increased transaction volumes

Stakeholder Trust: Blockchain audit trails and transparent reporting have strengthened relationships with rights holders and content creators Competitive Differentiation: The combination of payment automation, AI contract analysis, and blockchain transparency created unique market positioning

The engagement evolved into a long-term partnership, with the Superscript team continuing to support platform enhancements and new feature development as the client's business grows.
