One platform for the software house: boards, delivery, credentials and people

Development teams end up paying for a board tool, a time tracker, a password manager and an HR system that never agree on who is on which project. Orbiz runs all of them on one employee record, so a sprint, a timesheet and a client credential all point at the same people.

Every tool included in every plan. No per-seat charge, no per-tool upsell.

The problem

Where software teams lose time today

01

Five subscriptions, five headcounts

Every developer is a seat in the board tool, a seat in the time tracker and a seat in the password manager. Onboarding one engineer means five invitations and offboarding means hoping nobody forgot one.

02

Delivery health is a spreadsheet

Hours live in one tool, bugs in another and milestones in a slide deck, so whether a fixed-price project is still profitable is a monthly reconstruction rather than a number you can look at.

03

Client credentials in chat

Server logins, API keys and deployment secrets get pasted into a channel because the alternative is a personal password manager nobody else can see into when that person is on leave.

The tools

How software teams use Orbiz

Each tool below is the same product every customer gets — described here in terms of the job it does for your kind of organisation.

  • Cadence logo

    Project tracking

    Cadence

    Boards and sprints without a per-seat bill

    Projects, boards, sprints, issues, sub-tasks and custom fields for every engineer and every client project. Statuses are yours to define, and comments and mentions keep the discussion on the issue rather than in chat.

  • Trackline logo

    Delivery portfolio

    Trackline

    Fixed-price and retainer health in one view

    Each client engagement is a project with milestones or retainer periods. Hours arrive from attendance, bugs and ticket counts from the boards, and cost is computed from each engineer’s rate — so margin is visible while the project is still running.

  • Vault logo

    Secrets & credentials

    Vault

    Client credentials, encrypted before they leave the browser

    Server logins, API keys and deployment secrets live in collections per client, shared with the named engineers who need them. The server stores ciphertext only, and every read is in the audit log.

  • AMS logo

    Time & attendance

    AMS

    Time entries against the project you are on

    Clock in, log time against a project, and let inactivity detection pause the timer on quiet afternoons. Timesheets feed delivery costing without anyone filling in a second sheet.

  • Grabr logo

    Screen recording & screenshots

    Grabr

    Bug reports and demos as a link

    Record a screen walkthrough of a bug or a sprint demo in the browser and share a link that expires. View analytics show which client contact actually watched it.

  • Huddl logo

    Team chat

    Huddl

    A channel per project and per client, next to the board

    Open a channel for each delivery and a huddl for each client, so the engineers, the board and the conversation about it sit under one login. Threads keep a channel readable through a long incident; a client invited as a guest sees their channel and nothing else.

  • HRMS logo

    People & hiring

    HRMS

    Hire engineers with assessments, not gut feel

    Publish roles on your own careers page, run candidates through defined interview stages and send online assessments from a reusable question bank so every interviewer scores the same things.

  • Ledgr logo

    Payroll & accounts

    Ledgr

    Payroll from the hours engineers logged

    Monthly timesheets from attendance, salary sheets with your own per-hour rates for unpaid time and overtime, annualised tax, and payslips for every engineer — with project cost visible next to the hours.

Replace your stack

What software teams usually pay for instead

A team like yours typically runs on Jira, Toggl Track, 1Password, Loom, Google Workspace and Slack — each with its own bill, its own user list and its own offboarding step. Orbiz covers the same jobs for one flat price per organisation, with unlimited members.

Software & IT FAQ

Questions software teams ask

Can we run client projects and internal projects side by side?

Yes. Trackline models both internal and external projects, with fixed-price or retainer billing on the client ones. Cadence boards and AMS time entries attach to those same projects, so a client dashboard and an internal roadmap use one set of data.

Does Orbiz replace Jira for a development team?

For most teams, yes. Cadence provides projects, boards, configurable statuses, sprints, issues, sub-tasks, custom fields, comments and mentions, plus workload and delivery reports. It does not offer Jira’s marketplace of third-party apps.

How are client server credentials protected?

Vault encrypts every item in the browser before it is sent, so the server only ever stores ciphertext. Items are shared with named teammates, a forgotten passphrase is recoverable through escrow, and every read and change is written to an audit log.
