Case Study

Music TechSaaSData Management

Our Methodology

Overview & Process

Preliminary Meetings

Aligned on Dae Bogan's vision for solving fragmented music metadata and rights registration problems.

Research & High Level Ideation

Researched the music rights landscape—registration workflows, metadata standards, and industry pain points—to define the product scope.

Design & Strategy

Distilled complex data collection processes into an intuitive interface that music professionals could actually use.

Development & Iteration

Built the platform iteratively, incorporating feedback from music industry professionals throughout development.

Launch 1.0

Shipped the production platform enabling artists and publishers to manage their rights registrations in one place.

Updates and Maintenance

Ongoing platform evolution—expanding registration capabilities, improving data ingestion, and scaling with the growing user base.

Our Challenges

A Comprehensive Custom Solution

To create the "Turbo Tax of the Music Industry" we had to simplify dozens of complex processes and manage complex relationships between data sets.

Data Relationships

We developed a strategy to manage and standardize data across multiple channels, resulting in fewer input and output errors

Simplified Frontend

We hid the complexities of the system, and generated a frontend that focused the user on relevant information for their tasks

Met Industry Standards

We created a platform that is compatible with multiple data delivery systems, data standards, and formatting requirements

We took wireframes and basic sketches, information on a massive collection of spreadsheets, and firsthand knowledge of the music business to design an interface that would be user-friendly and intuitive. The goal was to guide the user through a series of forms that didn’t feel like forms, and coach them into entering all of the data necessary for their registrations in as simple and streamlined a process as possible.

As we built the platform, we started to see how many of the problems we were trying to solve industry-wide are caused by inconsistent and inaccurate data being promulgated throughout the music industry ecosystem. We created mechanisms to standardize the information during the input process, and prevent erroneous data from being sent out to the third-party exchange partners. Our system makes sure that the information is formatted to the exact specifications required by each exchange, and is sent via their preferred method, including direct API integration.
