01Context

Royalty processing was a labyrinth of PDFs, spreadsheets and email threads. Every cycle took four days and every error created an audit risk.

02Problem

Digitise the intake, automate validation, and give finance an auditable trail, without disrupting the active royalty cycle or partner experience.

03Approach
  • 01Mapped the entire royalty intake-to-payment flow end to end and identified the failure points.
  • 02Replaced static partner forms with dynamic, validated digital intake.
  • 03Built a rules engine on Oracle Apex to auto-validate submissions against contract terms.
  • 04Phased rollout with parallel runs to prove parity before retiring the manual flow.
04Build
  • Digital partner intake forms with field-level validation.
  • Apex-based validation engine encoding contract rules.
  • Audit log surfaced for finance and legal in one click.
