Unlock the hidden revenue by enriching the music/audio-visual metadata.
Metadata forms the foundation for various information, such as rights management, content discovery, royalty calculation, licensing, and distribution.
Metadata is what gets you revenue.

Noctil platform offers no-code AI/ML automation to minimize the risk of costly errors in royalty calculations, ultimately increasing revenue opportunities.
Music catalog management helps companies maximize revenue streams by ensuring accurate rights management, effective licensing, and efficient royalty collection.
Noctil system handles large volumes of data in various formats for operations like de-duplication, matching, and royalty calculations. It also imports and exports files in different formats.
Imagine manually checking the data in the system every day. This becomes a daunting task if you have to keep doing it manually. With the help of an advanced filter application for any metadata field and an option to save the filter, you can perform your task with just one click.
Generating reports and analyzing data to gain insights on revenue streams, trends, and music catalog performance.
Data Transformation
Industry focus right now is on creating a standardized data format for exchange with various organizations.
There is a huge gap in how the metadata is being populated in each organization’s systems, and during the exchange of data, having no proper standard or format can lead to data loss.
We can help you transform raw music - metadata into a structured, standardized, and enriched format.
High volumes of raw music-related data are collected from various sources, including music labels, publishers, streaming platforms, and other data providers.
This data may come in different formats, such as databases or unstructured text.
Once the metadata is collected and stored, it needs to be standardized to match industry-specific metadata standards.
Naming conventions, data formats, and industry codes (e.g., ISRC, ISWC) matter to maintain data integrity. While exporting bulk data, users can convert into the required standard format, such as CWR, JSON, or any other formats.
Identifying and eliminating duplicates helps you achieve high-quality metadata. This, in turn, helps increase the revenue percentage.
A higher metadata matching percentage will improve the royalty distribution percentage and the process's efficiency.
Identification and Matching
The most critical step to perform for any music rights society is metadata identification, de-duplication, and matching to have clean and well-organized metadata.
Achieve quality metadata through Identification and Matching.
It is the process of using metadata attributes to uniquely distinguish a specific piece of data.
In the music business, identifying and eliminating duplicates helps you achieve high-quality metadata. This process is crucial since incorrect and duplicate data greatly hinder achieving higher royalty distributions.
This is mainly a comparison of two different sets of metadata to determine if they represent the same asset.
A higher metadata matching percentage will improve the royalty distribution percentage and the process's efficiency.
As a result of the above process, the artists will now be offered fair and timely compensation that they are entitled to.
Music content distribution to various digital platforms, including streaming services, other rights societies, and radio stations, is now quicker.
Also, sharing the rich metadata with third-party sources, such as other rights societies, allows users to earn more.
Distribution & Payment calculation
Have you spent hours generating rules and running through Excel spreadsheets for calculating royalty and revenue? Ever thought of having an automated system to help you with precise royalty calculations and payment distribution to the various parties, including rights holders, artists, songwriters, publishers, and other stakeholders?
Noctil breaks down multiple rules & automates the royalty calculations with just one click.
The software calculates the royalties owed to rights holders for various types of music usage.
These calculations are automated based on rules and the share-holding percentages among different parties.
Various types of music usage may have different royalty rates and payment structures.
The software applies the appropriate rates and rules to each usage scenario.
To ensure the accuracy of calculations, the system validates the incoming metadata and checks for discrepancies or errors that may affect royalty calculations.
Member/Right Holder Management
Artist relationships with rights societies, publishers, and record labels should be symbiotic.
It is extremely important to ensure that along with the company’s growth the artists are also getting what they deserve, i.e., the right support, recognition, and fair pay.
With the right claims comes great customer experiences. Noctil helps you achieve this with utmost accuracy.
Songwriters, composers, or artists sign up with publishers or record labels, who then register their work with performance rights organizations (PROs) or other rights societies.
Noctil offers techniques and tools for faster metadata exchange between different societies.
Once the royalty amount is collected, the member/rightsholder management systems help calculate and distribute royalties to the appropriate parties.
This includes performance royalties, mechanical royalties, sync licensing fees, and more.
Member/rightsholder management systems generate reports detailing the distribution of royalties and the usage of music content.
These reports provide transparency to rights holders and ensure they receive fair compensation.
Custom Portal
We offer a highly personalized and branded experience for your team and right holders, allowing them to interact with the software in a way that aligns with their goals and enhances their experience.

The custom portal allows admin users to define access controls and permissions, ensuring that only authorized users or a group of users with certain roles within the organization can view and modify metadata, access reports, or perform other actions.
Users can easily import and export data from the portal.
This includes defining data formats, applying advanced filters, and saving searches.
Clients can request or create specific functionalities and tools essential to their metadata management needs.
These features are developed and integrated into the portal to streamline the operations.
Claim accurately & appropriately
Imagine claims of metadata not being 100% correct.
This can lead to a loss of revenue, stagnate artists' careers, and upturn the music industry as a whole.
However, there is a way that metadata can be shared in the right format with other organizations.
Noctil helps you achieve this with 100% accuracy.
You can now claim all the royalty and revenue from streaming services, digital downloads, radio broadcasts, live performances, sync licensing, and more.
This is because of the accurate and quality metadata produced by the processes performed through the Noctil platform. Accurate claiming ensures that artists and rights holders receive their fair share of income.
Easily export bulk metadata using a variety of formats that can be exchanged with organizations worldwide.
You can also apply the advanced filters to reduce applying all the conditions while exporting and downloading the files.
Metadata that is complete can help you claim licensing fees accurately.
This involves licensing music content for various purposes, such as film, television, commercials, and video games and allowing the music users to consume the work in compliance with licensing terms and that the appropriate permissions are granted.
Noctil aims to raise artist revenue and support organizations that serve them by enhancing metadata.
Accurate and organized metadata leads to an increase of 98% in royalty distribution accuracy, which can increase revenue significantly.
