Onboarding
Done with you, proven on your own statements
We set Labelmate up with you, then rebuild your last statement period and compare it with the statements you sent. No risk: you pay nothing until it all matches to the cent.

Four steps
From your application to your statements
About two weeks from receiving your files to the proof. In the app, Home's Onboarding checklist follows every step.
- 1
The setup call, 30 minutes
You book it at the end of the application. We look at how you do statements today, run the mailbox scan live, and agree the plan and the dates.
- 2
Your mailbox and your contracts
Labelmate reads your mailbox read-only and spots your contracts, invoices and reports. Each contract is read and checked with you: the artist, the rate, the advance and the signing date, with the passage the AI read.
- 3
Your distributors and your balances
We build each distributor's format from your real reports, and load your artists' balances and past statements into the Archive, with Past statements and balances: each becomes a frozen statement the balances carry on from.
- 4
The proof, then you pay
With Reconciliation, in Statements, we rebuild your last statement period without issuing anything and compare it, artist by artist, with the statements you sent. Every difference gets a likely cause, and a PDF report keeps the comparison. When it all matches, or every difference is accepted, you pay the first year, or the first month. If not, nothing.
What you need
Three things to gather
Onboarding goes fast when we have your files. Gather them before the call if you can; otherwise we find them together in your mailbox.
- Your distributors' reports for your last statement period
- Your signed contracts, or access to the mailbox they sit in
- The statements you sent for that period, and the spreadsheet that produced them

During onboarding
What we do, what stays with you
We do
Connect the mailbox, read the contracts, build your formats, load your balances, rebuild your last period.
You do
Approve what the AI read, answer our questions about a contract or a difference, and decide.
Nobody does
The math never goes through the AI, and nothing is saved without someone at the label accepting it.
Questions
What if the last period doesn't match?
We explain every difference: a missing report, a rate that doesn't follow the contract clause, a cost never charged back, a rounding or currency difference. You decide which version is right. If Labelmate isn't for you, you pay nothing.
How long does it take?
About two weeks from receiving your files, for a label paying up to 50 artists. More artists or distributors, a little longer.
Do we need a new computer or a server?
No. Labelmate installs on your Macs and Windows PCs. Your data stays on them, encrypted.
