Amra, a global digital music collection society, rolled out an upgraded client portal that gives songwriters and publishers more frequent access to their catalog, royalty and distribution performance.
The changes affect both the Revenue Dashboard and Copyright Dashboard that clients use to track their digital royalty collections worldwide, amra said on Monday (December 15).
The revamped Revenue Dashboard has shifted revenue updates to weekly refreshes from the previous quarterly schedule. This allows clients to monitor incoming credits in real time rather than waiting months for distribution reports.
New visualization features separate repertoire earnings and show quarter-over-quarter growth alongside data on which songs generate the most revenue.
Clients can filter their earnings by multiple variables and track the time gap between when music is played on digital platforms and when royalties are paid out.
Changes to the Copyright Dashboard expand how clients can sort and view their catalog metadata. The interface now allows filtering by product, artist, genre, release date, ISRC/ISWC, shares, PRO affiliation, and platform usage, and see writer-artist links.
The system also highlights usage matches across platforms, showing the earliest and most recent matches along with total match counts. This data helps clients confirm their music is being tracked globally and estimate when new releases will start generating revenue.
Robin Davies, Chief Operating Officer of amra, said: “Transparency is at the core of everything we do.
“These updates to our best-in-class portal gives clients completely unique access into their catalogue, royalty and distribution performance over time. We’ve always maintained that this is not our data, it is our clients, and our portal gives clients the richest digital consumption view of their data, globally.”

Amra says it has invested over $50 million in its tech platform over the past four years. Last year, amra said the lion’s share of that figure had been spent in the previous three years.
The company’s operations now span regions outside the US, including direct digital collections in Southeast Asia, India, Australia, Brazil and Japan.
The updated client portal comes four months after amra inked a licensing agreement with Spotify. The multi-territory, multi-year renewal deal covers digital mechanical and performing rights across amra’s global footprint.
