A system built for royalties

Calculation, billing and payment of royalties

Traditional billing tools are not suited to managing royalties. These royalties vary depending on revenue thresholds and periods, with rates sometimes differing according to specific products or services. Our billing system has been specifically developed to address these challenges. With Cerca, you gain time, accuracy, and transparency.

From revenue to payment, the whole royalty chain

01 · Revenue

Sales visibility as a prerequisite for invoicing

The retrieval of revenue data from locations can be done automatically through integration with your POS systems, semi-automatic drag-and-drop file uploads, or through our manual reporting module.

We can even combine these different methods.

  • Drag-and-drop file uploads

02 · Automatic calculation

Automatic royalty calculation

With a single click, you can automatically generate the detailed amounts of royalties and various fees.

The different criteria and parameters applicable to the variable calculation of royalties are entered into our tool. This data can be easily adapted and modified for certain locations. Royalties can also be centralized under a single company that manages several locations for multi-franchisees.

After verification, you validate each amount to lock in the indicated figure. You can then issue invoices or simply export the data to integrate it directly into your accounting software, where you will generate your invoices.

  • Detailed amounts generated in one click
  • Parameters adaptable per location
  • Centralization for multi-franchisees
  • Each amount validated and locked

03 · Level 2 · Invoices

Generating royalty invoices

You can choose level 2 of our billing module.

You then place the various invoices in the "to pay" stage. Your invoices are automatically generated based on the calculation obtained in the previous step. They comply with all legal requirements and are sent by email to the franchisees, who can also find them in their personal portal.

Exporting and importing into your accounting software is very simple and supports the various existing formats.

  • Invoices generated from the calculation
  • Compliant with all legal requirements
  • Sent by email and available in the franchisee portal
  • Accounting export / import in the existing formats
