For in-house studios
Studio-grade finance for internal teams
Give your content team real production controls while finance keeps the chart of accounts clean.

Virtual cards spend instantly, physical ships in a week. One at a time or twenty-five at once.

Auto-categorization
Charges arrive already coded.
Chart of accounts
Map your budget to the ledger.
Project Library
Seven kinds of reference data, current everywhere.
Reports
Drag blocks onto the page and split a row in two.
THE PLATFORM
One platform. Budget to wrap.
Saturation centralizes your entire production finance workflow — budgeting, expense tracking, payments, and reporting — so nothing falls through the cracks when you have 50 active projects.
Budget
Build multi-project budgets from templates or past projects. Watch actuals update against estimates as spend comes in.
Track
Every cost — card swipes, vendor invoices, freelancer day rates, POs — is captured, categorized, and allocated to the right project automatically.
Pay
Issue virtual cards per project, pay vendors directly, process freelancer invoices, and handle crew reimbursements from one dashboard.
Report
Generate cost-per-project breakdowns, department chargebacks, and ROI dashboards formatted for leadership — not accounting.
AI that learns from every project you've ever run.
Saturation's Production Intelligence isn't a chatbot bolted onto a spreadsheet. It's trained exclusively on your production data — past budgets, actuals, vendor history, expense patterns — to help you estimate faster, spot anomalies 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 organization.
Built for every role in your studio.
From the CMO reviewing quarterly spend to the freelance editor submitting a receipt, Saturation gives every stakeholder the right tools and the right level of access.
See every project. Control every dollar.
You're managing 30+ simultaneous productions across brands, campaigns, and content types — with a team that's part full-time, part freelance, and part vendor. Saturation gives you a portfolio-level dashboard where you can drill into any project, any budget line, any expense, without waiting for someone to update a spreadsheet.
- Real-time portfolio dashboard across every active production
- Approval workflows that escalate to you only when spend exceeds thresholds you set
- Production Intelligence that predicts costs for new projects based on your history
Production data that speaks accounting.
Production finance is messy — POs, day rates, kit fees, talent buyouts, equipment rentals. You need those costs allocated to the right GL codes, exportable to your ERP, and audit-ready for compliance. Saturation translates production-specific workflows into your chart of accounts automatically.
- Automatic cost allocation to departments, brands, 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 production. 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.
- Per-project budgets with live actuals and variance tracking
- Virtual cards tied to your project — 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 client'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 production company'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
What our customers are saying
“We run 30+ projects at any given time across four brands. Before Saturation, I had no way to tell leadership what each project actually cost until weeks after wrap. Now I pull up the dashboard and the numbers are right there — real time, per project, per brand. The cost allocation alone saves us two days a month.”
