Production finance software, built for in-house teams.
Saturation is budgeting and expense tracking software for in-house production teams. Budget every project, issue P-cards for team expenses and track spend across your own shoots and outside partners in one place.
Studio-grade finance for internal teams
Give your content team real production controls, onboard vendors and freelancers, and keep finance's chart of accounts clean.
Issue Cards
Virtual cards spend instantly, physical ships in a week. One at a time or twenty-five at once.
Flows and approvals
Send anything for approval, not just payments. Branch it, delay it, test it.
Auto-categorization
Charges arrive already coded.
Chart of accounts
Map your budget to the ledger.
Project Library
Seven kinds of reference data, current everywhere.
Vendor portal
Every vendor gets a home to sign, upload and get paid.
Every shoot, and everything the team spends.
An in-house team spends on more than productions. Budget each shoot and the team itself in Saturation, from software and gear to travel and marketing spend, so producers see what is left and finance gets every cost coded to its account.
- Productions and team costs in one workspace
- P-cards with spend limits
- Outside partners on their own project
Coded to your chart of accounts.
Map budget accounts to your general ledger once. Saturation suggests the matches and you accept them.

- Company cards with no link to a budget
- Costs keyed in again at month end
- No cost picture until weeks after wrap
With Saturation
- In-house and partner projects in one workspace
- Receipts matched to their charge
- Approvals routed and recorded
- Cards issued per project, with limits
- Accounts mapped to your ledger
- Estimate, committed and actual, live
