Use case

Out-of-scope work that gets billed, not absorbed

Most MSPs leak margin to out-of-scope work that quietly becomes free work. Orbit flags scope-exceeding work as it happens and routes it through approval or change-order workflow so it gets billed properly.

Who it's for

  • MSPs with retainer scope creep
  • Consultancies with fixed-fee projects
  • Service teams with agreement caps

Pain points we solve

  • Retainers eaten by out-of-scope work
  • Project budgets exceeded silently
  • Techs unsure whether to bill or absorb

How Orbit fits

Scope tracked at the agreement level. Work that exceeds it flags automatically. Approval workflow or change-order routes the next step.

Capabilities
