FAQ

Everything you need to know before getting started

We know that adopting a new analytics platform raises important questions around security, integration, and ease of use. The FAQs below explain how 360 Spectra works, how your data is protected, and how the platform delivers powerful insight without disrupting your existing systems.

Do we need to implement a new system to use Spectra?

No. Spectra does not require you to replace or change your existing systems. The platform ingests data securely from your current royalty, sales, and reporting systems, allowing you to gain enhanced insight without disrupting established processes.

How is our data collected and integrated?

Spectra securely ingests data from your existing sources using structured data feeds and agreed formats. The platform is designed to handle complex, multi-source data and consolidate it into a single, consistent view for analysis and reporting. The workflows are designed to deal with multiple data formats and layouts, ensuring consistency and comparability.

How secure is our data?

Security is a core principle of Spectra. The platform uses secure data transfer protocols, encrypted storage, and strict access controls. Role-based permissions ensure users only see data relevant to their responsibilities, protecting confidentiality at all times.

Will our confidential data be shared with other clients?

No. Client-level data remains fully confidential and is never shared. Any industry-level insights or benchmarks provided by Spectra are based on aggregated and anonymised data, ensuring individual licensors and licensees cannot be identified.

How quickly can we get up and running?

Spectra is designed for rapid deployment. No new systems are required and the platform integrates with your existing data. Clients can begin accessing insights quickly once data feeds are established.

Is Spectra suitable for global licensing portfolios?

Spectra is built to support complex, global licensing portfolios across multiple territories, currencies, product categories, and reporting periods.

Can we customise dashboards and reporting?

Dashboards within Spectra are highly configurable, allowing users to filter, drill down, and tailor views to their specific needs while maintaining consistent data governance.

Does Spectra replace royalty audits?

Spectra enhances audit activity by providing ongoing visibility, risk identification, and historical insight. It enables IP owners to determine which audits or reviews are most valuable for their business and track commercial partner reporting activity proactively rather than retrospectively.

Who is Spectra designed for?

Spectra equips commercial leaders and their wider teams with clear, reliable insight into portfolio performance, risk, and compliance powering smarter, data-driven decisions.
