Orbit Studios
Orbit Studios is a unified agency management platform and CRM designed for small creative teams, typically studios of one to ten people. It combines clients, contacts, projects, campaigns, tasks, retainers, and invoices into a single intelligent workspace, replacing the need to juggle spreadsheets, chat apps, and memory. The platform is positioned as a calm operational hub for boutique studios, with an emphasis on readability and low administrative overhead. Key capabilities include Kanban boards, calendar, workload planning, time tracking, retainer and ad hoc billing, invoicing, and finance reports. A branded client portal lets clients approve estimates, follow projects, comment on work, collect final deliveries, and view invoices. The built-in Orbit AI companion reads the studio each morning, highlights what matters, suggests next best tasks, and flags drifting work. Team messaging and search are also included. Orbit Studios offers a single flat-rate plan at £15 per user per month with monthly billing and a 30-day free trial that requires no card. The product is aimed at freelance designers, small studios, and marketing agencies that want agency management software without enterprise onboarding or seat math. It is available as a cloud SaaS product and includes comparison pages against tools like Productive and Scoro.

Problem solved
Small creative agencies often lose time switching between spreadsheets, chat apps, and separate billing tools, and rely on memory to track what is happening across clients and projects. Orbit Studios solves this by centralizing clients, projects, tasks, retainers, invoices, and client communication in one workspace, while an AI companion surfaces daily priorities and flags issues before they drift.
