Production finance software, built for agencies.
Saturation is budgeting and expense tracking software for production agencies, built by producers. Bid each job, add your markup and track every cost against it.
Every client job, one system
Budgets, spend and approvals for each job, with every client’s work in one workspace.
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.
Win the job. Keep the margin.
Every job starts as a bid and ends as an actual. Saturation keeps bid, estimate, working and actual side by side on one budget, so you can see where a job stands against what you quoted.
