XR Cut the Payroll Chaos for a Global Retailer

When a global retailer launched its in-house production studio, they quickly realized that managing talent payments was far tougher than expected. Thousands of performers across TV, radio, and digital campaigns needed to be paid within California’s strict 10-day employment law. Missed deadlines meant production delays, compliance risks, and costly penalties.

That’s when the retailer turned to XR. By centralizing payroll and rights management on XR’s platform, their studio was able to onboard payroll providers in record time, integrate payments into everyday operations, and make sure every performer, model, and actor got paid accurately and on time.

The results spoke for themselves:

• Nearly half a million dollars saved each year by streamlining processes

• Thousands of performers paid on schedule, avoiding penalties

• Creative teams freed up to focus on making great advertising instead of admin work

Today, the studio runs like the powerhouse they always envisioned.
