WIOpro

WIOpro empowers entertainment stakeholders to track the airing of movies and television episodes, vital information that drives the payment of guild residuals, composer royalties and profit participations.

Those payments — over $4 billion a year — are incomplete. It’s estimated that about a half-billion dollars annually, of entertainment residuals alone go unpaid, in part because there’s little proactive monitoring of airing data. The same inadequate monitoring afflicts film and television composer royalties. To date, there’s been no way for payees to monitor airings and discover uncompensated usage.
 

WIOpro changes all that. The web-based software enables actors, writers, directors, composers, musicians and organizations such as guilds, performing rights organizations, music publishers, union benefit plans, business managers, accountants and auditors to track airings in 55 countries using a simple web interface. Those broadcasts can then be reconciled against monies received.
