Built by people who run record labels.

We’ve run record labels for over fifteen years. Every quarter, the same two days lost to distributor files that wouldn’t open, name variants that wouldn’t match, and statements that generated follow-up emails before the artist had finished reading them. We built Stakks because the problem wasn’t effort — it was that no tool was built for how labels actually process data.

Three steps.
Then you’re done.

The Stakks engine ingesting data from globe, music, play and radio inputs and outputting a row of statements on a conveyor belt.

READ

Every file you’ve ever cursed at.

Input

Your distributor spreadsheet
Bandcamp (UTF-16, byte-order mark and all)
Beatport, DistroKid, TuneCore single-currency
Any XLSX with ISRCs read as dates
Any currency

All read. All normalised. One canonical model.

Engine

Your split or ours. Recoup gates that hold until the budget closes. Compilation revenue split pro-rata, track by track. Every currency at source rate, every conversion on the record.

The same engine, whether it’s nine artists or nine hundred.

RECONCILE

Splits, recoups, compilations.

A label founder leaning back at their desk while Stakks auto-prints royalty statements next to a turntable.

SEND

A statement the artist can actually read.

Output

Per-artist. Per-release. Recoup status. A PDF formatted so the artist reads it and doesn’t email you back.

14 statements. Zero follow-up emails.

Built for how labels actually work.

Identity

Same artist, four sources.

“Nova Plein” and “nova plein” and “Nova Plein ” resolve as one. Without you teaching it.

A globe holding a tax form and giving a thumbs up — international compliance handled.

Currency

Source-rate. Logged.

GBP, USD, EUR, JPY — at the rate your distributor reported. Every conversion stays visible, never buried in a footnote.

Compilations

Every track artist gets their share.

“Various Artists” revenue allocated by individual track share. Audit trail per row. The math is on the page, not in your head.

Quality flags

Surfaced, not silenced.

Missing artists. ISRCs read as dates. Scientific-notation barcodes. Caught and shown.

A real reconciliation

Four thousand releases. One reconciliation pass. Zero restatements.

Eighteen distributor systems. A back-catalog spanning four decades. Hundreds of name variants resolved across territories. Compilations allocated pro-rata, track by track. Every conversion reproducible at audit.

What used to take three days took one afternoon.
