Problem:

A digital content distributor was checking the effectiveness of its pitching looking into several popular digital stores playlists and reporting on the placement of the new music released in those playlists.

The task is very labour intensive and error prone.

Solution:

Automate the placement reporting using the store’s APIs when available or scrapping their websites. With this solution, we are able to check over a thousand playlists in a couple of hours and create a special PDF report for every label manager in the company, with substantial precision improvement.

In the market exists some solutions that bring partial solutions to this problem, like https://chartmetric.com or https://bmat.com. These companies do not cover all the regional digital stores that are important in the local markets.
