Bradbury-Phillips Software
Bradbury-Phillips is a leading provider of affordable rights, royalties and agent accounting software for book publishers and their agents. Their software is used by over 250 companies and runs on a personal computer.
The easy to use Bradbury-Phillips software is often selected by companies that see no need to replace their current systems with a publishing specific ERP solution and desire a simple & affordable rights or royalties solution.
In our view, when compared to their feature rich competitors; Acumen, Klopotek, SAP and Vista, the Bradbury-Phillips solution excels in ease of use and a lower price. In my mind it often comes down to decidiing between the Bradbury-Phillips software which meets 100% of a publishers current needs vs more poweful software that offers features a publisher may never use.
For example; Bradbury-Phillips supports up to four escalators for royalty rates. If you only have three escalators in your current contracts why purchase more expensive software that support 100+ escalators.
Clients: 250+ and growing
Target Market: Small to large sized book publishers
