Production finance, built for agencies that run on margins.
Plan budgets, track actuals, and manage client spend across every project — so you can protect margins, bill accurately, and stop leaving money on the table.
For agencies
Every client job, one system
Budgets, spend and approvals per job, with a library view across every client and campaign.
Project Library
Seven kinds of reference data, current on every project.
P-Cards
Set the limit before it ships.
Flows
Branch it, delay it, dry-run it.
Vendor portal
Every vendor gets a home to sign, upload and get paid.
Reports
Drag blocks onto the page and split a row in two.
Powerful filtering
Filter on dates, vendors or tags.
THE PLATFORM
One platform. Pitch to final invoice.
Saturation centralizes your entire production finance workflow — bidding, budgeting, expense tracking, payments, and client billing — so nothing slips through the cracks when you're juggling 20 clients and 50 active jobs.
Bid
Build client bids from templates or past jobs. Compare estimates against actuals from similar projects to sharpen your margins before you even win the work.
Track
Every cost — card swipes, vendor invoices, freelancer day rates, POs — is captured, categorized, and allocated to the right client job automatically.
Pay
Issue virtual cards per job, pay vendors directly, process freelancer invoices, and handle crew reimbursements from one dashboard.
Bill
Generate client-ready cost reports, markup summaries, and reconciliation packages — formatted for your clients, not your accountant.
AI that learns from every job you've ever produced.
Saturation's Production Intelligence isn't a chatbot bolted onto a spreadsheet. It's trained exclusively on your agency's production data — past bids, actuals, vendor history, expense patterns — to help you bid tighter, spot margin leaks sooner, and make decisions backed by your own track record. Your data trains your model only. It's SOC 2 certified, never shared, and never used outside your agency.
Built for every role in your agency.
From the managing partner reviewing quarterly profitability to the freelance editor submitting a receipt, Saturation gives every stakeholder the right tools and the right level of access.
See every job. Protect every margin.
You're overseeing a portfolio of jobs across a roster of clients — each with different margin targets, billing structures, and reporting expectations. Saturation gives you a real-time dashboard where you can drill into any job, any budget line, any expense, without waiting for a producer to update a spreadsheet.
- Real-time portfolio dashboard across every active job and client
- Margin tracking per job, per client, per producer — catch erosion early
- Production Intelligence that predicts costs for new bids based on your agency's history
Production data that speaks accounting.
Agency production finance is messy — POs, day rates, kit fees, talent buyouts, equipment rentals, client markups. You need those costs reconciled against client billing, exported to your ERP, and audit-ready for compliance. Saturation translates production-specific workflows into your chart of accounts automatically.
- Automatic cost allocation to clients, jobs, and GL codes
- Native sync with QuickBooks, Xero, and CSV export for NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle
- SOC 2 certified with a complete audit trail for every transaction and approval
Run the job. Skip the admin.
You should be on set solving problems, not in a spreadsheet reconciling receipts. Saturation lets you build budgets, issue cards, approve expenses, and check actuals from your phone — so you spend less time on finance admin and more time producing great work for your clients.
- Per-job budgets with live actuals and variance tracking
- Virtual cards tied to your job — issue them for crew in seconds
- Mobile receipt capture and one-tap approval from anywhere
Submit. Get paid. Move on.
You don't want to learn another agency's internal systems. Saturation gives freelancers and vendors a clean portal to submit invoices, check payment status, and manage tax documents — without needing access to the agency's financials.
- Self-service invoice submission with real-time payment status
- Direct deposit payments on your schedule
- W-9 and tax document management in one place
