For anyone relying on fragile spreadsheets or cloud-based scraping tools, a major vendor changing their payment model usually means one thi

Every indie press owner’s worst nightmare isn't a bad review on Goodreads. It's logging into Twitter or Facebook and seeing your authors using the #PayYourAuthors hashtag.

Established indie authors will warn each other to stay away. Your reputation, which you spent years building, can be destroyed

Tax season doesn't have to be a nightmare of frantic spreadsheet math. The Annual / Tax Summary screen aggregates a full year's worth of locked financial data and splits it into two distinct reports: one for your accountant, and one for your authors' accountants.

The Data Import Hub is where the magic happens. While the interface is incredibly simple, the logic running behind the scenes does the heavy lifting of reading, normalizing, and combining the wildly different spreadsheet formats from KDP, ACX, IngramSpark, and other vendors into your master database.

Top-line revenue is great, but as a publisher, you need to know exactly when a book has paid off its production costs and started generating actual profit for your business. The Title P&L Analytics screen visualizes exactly that, with absolutely no manual math required.

While it may look like a simple table, the Master Ledger is arguably the most powerful auditing tool in Imprint Core. It acts as the "God View" for your publishing business, unifying every single royalty line-item from every vendor, format, and currency into one standardized, searchable database.

The Direct Sales POS (Point of Sale) screen allows you to manually log sales that happen outside of the major retailers. Whether you are selling paperbacks at a convention or ebooks directly through your own website, this tool ensures your authors still get their correct royalty splits based on your actual net income.
