Producer Business Statement
We at SoftTrade firmly believe that technology should empower entrepreneurs, making operations more effective, transparent, and organized. We develop our products with a single goal in mind: to make software work for your business, not the other way around.
ChalChitra takes this to a new level by seamlessly integrating accounting and financial management with core film distribution workflows. Film distributors can efficiently manage releases, track box-office collections, automate invoicing, and analyze performance in real time.
Everything a film distributor needs, in one system
From film master to final settlement. 20 modules built for the way film distribution actually works.
Film Master Management
Maintain a central master for all films with release details, language, format, and distribution rights, giving you a single source of truth for every title.
Theatre Contract Management
Create and manage theatre-wise contracts with terms, share percentages, MG, and duration. All agreements are stored digitally and linked to collections.
Release Orders
Generate release orders for each theatre and screen with show timings, admission rates, and distributor share terms, eliminating paperwork and confusion.
Daily Collection Entry
Enter box-office collections day by day for each theatre and show. The system keeps a running total and flags shortfalls against expected targets.
Box Office Collection
Aggregate and view gross box-office collections per film, theatre, territory, or time period. Drill down from summary to individual show-level data in seconds.
Distributor Share Calculation
Automatically compute the distributor's share from gross collections as per the contracted percentage or slab structure, with no manual calculations.
Territory & Center Control
Segment operations by territory and centre. Assign rights, sub-distributors, and share terms per territory to manage multi-region releases cleanly.
