Your own Orbit

Built around how you work. In orbit with everything else.

When the tool you need doesn't exist yet, we build it as a satellite. It signs in through Orbit, knows your people and regions, and works with the products you already use from the first day.

Two ways to get there

Shape it with us, or make it yours

Every custom satellite starts with a conversation. Where it ends depends on who it is for.

01

Shape it with us

Bring us a problem your organisation has. We shape the idea together and decide whether it belongs in the Orbit family. If it does, we build it for everyone, and you help shape it as a launch partner and use it first.

02

Make it yours

Commission a satellite and we build it, whatever we decide about the family. It is made for your organisation and used only by your organisation, never offered to anyone else, and it runs on the same foundation as every other satellite.

Only yours

A satellite in your orbit alone

A commissioned satellite appears in Orbit for your organisation and no one else. Your people open it with the sign-in they already use, it sees only your organisation's data, and it changes when your way of working changes.

Because it is built like every Orbit satellite, it is not a one-off project to look after on its own. It is hosted, secured, backed up and monitored with the rest of the platform.

How it works

From first conversation to launch

  1. 01

    Tell us the problem

    What should be easier, who does the work today and which systems are involved. No technical brief needed.

  2. 02

    Shape it together

    We map the work, sketch the screens and agree what the first version does, with the people who will use it.

  3. 03

    Decide the path

    We tell you whether it fits the Orbit family. You choose to shape it with us, or to commission it as your own, with a written proposal and a fixed price.

  4. 04

    Build, launch and grow

    We build it on the Orbit foundation, launch it in your organisation and keep improving it as you learn what you need.

Included from day one

Everything a satellite gets from Orbit

A custom satellite is a full member of the platform, not a separate system bolted on.

One sign-in

Your people sign in once, with your single sign-on, and open it next to everything else.

Your people and roles

Members, roles, organisations and regions come from Orbit, so access is in place from the start.

Orbit Exchange

It announces what happens and listens to the other satellites, so work flows between them.

A full audit trail

Who changed what, when and on whose behalf, including AI agents.

AI agents with a person in charge

Agents can help, within the rights of the person they work for, and a person approves what matters.

Hosted in the EU

Run, backed up and monitored with the rest of the platform, with status in Orbit.

Questions

Before you start

What happens when we shape a satellite with you?

You bring the problem and we shape the idea together. If we decide it would be useful to many organisations, we build it as part of the Orbit family, and you help shape it as a launch partner. If we decide not to, you can still commission it as a satellite of your own.

Is a commissioned satellite really only ours?

Yes. A satellite you commission is built for your organisation and used only by your organisation. It is never offered to anyone else. What you own, such as the code and the data, is set out in your agreement before we start.

What does a satellite of our own cost, and how long does it take?

It depends on what it needs to do. After the first conversations we send a written proposal with the scope, the timeline and a fixed price, so you know what you get before anything is built.

What does a custom satellite get from the platform?

Everything the other satellites get: sign-in and single sign-on through Orbit, your people, roles and regions, Orbit Exchange events, the audit trail, AI agents that need a person's approval, EU hosting, backups and status monitoring.

One sign-in for every tool your team uses

Why we built Bifröst Orbit: one place for sign-in, people and access, with every tool your organisation adds sharing the same foundation. Orbit itself is free.

What would make your work easier?

Tell us about the tool you're missing. We'll come back with how we would shape it and which path fits.
