The revolutionary verification system from IMD Fastrax allows record labels and pluggers to keep track of who's listened to or watched their product, to monitor the receipt and downloading of their new release tracks at radio stations and music videos at broadcasters. This information is available via each client's secure, password-protected entry point on this website and is updated regularly throughout the day.
