Firebrand Technologies and MetaComet® Systems announce turnkey data integration between Title Management and Royalty Tracker 

Cost Effective API, Released Today, Streamlines Production & Royalty Tracking Workflows for Book Publishers

NORTHAMPTON, MA and NEWBURYPORT, MA — SEPTEMBER 30, 2025:  Today, MetaComet® Systems and Firebrand Technologies released a turnkey API that consolidates title, price, and ISBN data across the companies’ book publishing software tools.

This integration vastly simplifies publishers’ production and royalty tracking workflows while maintaining the unique, best-in-class features available from the two platforms.

Firebrand Technologies’ Title Management Enterprise and Title Management Lite platforms facilitate the creation and marketing of publisher titles, and Eloquence on Demand is the industry’s most advanced metadata management and delivery service. MetaComet’s Royalty Tracker® efficiently and accurately automates the calculation and payouts of royalties to authors.

Using the new Firebrand/MetaComet API, users of the two platforms can now create their titles and ISBNs in Title Management, which will seamlessly, and securely transfer the data into Royalty Tracker® with no additional user time or effort.

“Firebrand leads the market with their smart and efficient publishing management solutions,” said David Marlin, President of MetaComet Systems. “They are the ideal partner in MetaComet’s mission to be the world leaders in addressing inefficiency, risk, and stress in the process of royalty management and throughout the publishing industry.”

“MetaComet automates royalty calculations and author payouts better than any other company in the business,” said Angela Bole, CEO of Firebrand Technologies. “We’re pleased to more fully integrate their Royalty Tracker service with our Title Management Enterprise, TItle Management Lite, and Eloquence on Demand products for an even better book publishing workflow experience.”

The Firebrand/MetaComet API is available now. Setup requires a subscription to the Strategic or Comprehensive level of Royalty Tracker® as well as one of Firebrand’s Eloquence on Demand, Title Management Enterprise, or Title Management Lite solutions. Additional set-up and maintenance charges may apply.

To learn more about the benefits of this integration, or to initiate the setup for your business, visit https://metacomet.com/firebrand/ or https://firebrandtech.com/metacomet.
