“BMAT are an essential part of the complex puzzle that a record label has to piece together. The importance of accurate data and music recognition across the world that BMAT provides is priceless, and ensures that labels, artists and composers are getting the revenue they deserve – we couldn’t recommend them enough”

Jamie Kemp, Toolroom Records, Director of Sales

"Using Vericast is essential to our daily workflow, not just for tracking usage but for monitoring A&R trends and which clients have used The Nerve music – when, where and how. The data helps us identify unreported usage, which we cross-check with PRO statements to potentially take action, such as chasing cue sheets, looking in suspense accounts, and using BMAT data as evidence for PROs or licence fee claims. Vericast is a safety net to catch usage and collect revenues for both us and our writers – the essential 3rd wheel to any sync publishing business. Not using it would be detrimental to revenues and stakeholders.”

Scott Pearce, The Nerve Media Group

"As a full-spectrum media music publisher specialising in optimised global collection, Vericast has fast become an invaluable resource in Zec Music Ltd's day-to-day operations. The dashboards are intuitive and flexible to our needs, effortlessly facilitating top-level headline analysis, as well as more in-depth reviews and statement gap analyses. BMAT are an established and trusted partner within the industry, and as such, we are able to rely on their data to further substantiate our claim to royalties internationally and ensure that our existing tracking processes remain robust. The implementation of this technology has strengthened the relationships with our composers which in turn has brought us more business, and we look forward to further developing our partnership.”

Natalie Newham, Royalty Tracking Manager, Zec Music Ltd

“BMAT have greatly supported West One Music Group's global expansion over a number of years. The data we access from a number of markets, in particular emerging markets, is extremely valuable for our business. We consider them a huge part of our operations and really enjoy working with their knowledgeable, personable, fun team.”

Edwin Cox, West One Music Group

“We use Vericast every day when we open our computers. It allows us to know where our music is playing, send the correct information to SGAE and analyze which music the channels we work with are using. With the ad reporting tool, it’s so easy to identify which ad campaigns we’re running. For a publisher this tool is indispensable, and the BMAT team are always there to lend a helping hand!”

Almudena Guerrero, Manager, EMI Production Music

"Vericast detection is a vital tool for tracking where and how our music is being used. By reviewing the video clips, we can confirm the broadcast data for licensed music and submit claims to the PROs, as well as discover music that wasn’t licensed. This has led to us securing licenses and revenue we would have otherwise missed. Additionally, we are able to use the data in verifying usage for our annual blanket clients to assist in fee negotiations. This service has also helped us secure licenses in other countries where we previously did not have the resources to track music usage. Vericast has been a huge help."

Publishing Coordinator, Megatrax

“We’re lucky to have BMAT. They have a reliable musical-usage monitoring system. Easy to use, very visual, and has a useful filtering system. In short, an effective system and a proactive team who helped us in every moment.”

Ana Velasco, Universal Music Publishing Group Spain
