The schedule is the easy part.
Orbit runs the rest.

Orbit drafts the week from how your practice usually runs, puts each person's day on their phone, and finds the cover when someone calls out.

You build the week.
Your team lives it.

Orbit gives each role a different experience from the same data.

The Coordinator

Build

Assign providers and support staff to rooms, sessions, and sites across the week.

● Grid + Board views, always in sync
● Fills gaps using your rules — time off, hours, credentials, pairings
● Cross-schedule conflict detection

Your Team

Live

Each team member sees a personal daily card, not a read-only copy of the grid.

● Site prep tips for unfamiliar clinics
● Teammates flagged as new or familiar
● "Ask HAL why" — fairness explained
● "Where can I pick up a half day?" — HAL finds open slots ranked by fit
The Loop

What your team does — rating a session, requesting a swap, setting preferences — stays with the schedule.Swap patterns show which slots don't work.Feedback flags sites that need attention.Preferences become rules the draft respects.

Built for healthcare

Scheduling that respects credentials, compliance rules, and team preferences.

Auto-Generate

A full week drafts itself in seconds: your standing pattern placed exactly, the rest worked out by rule — and every proposed placement can say why it's there.Steer the draft with one sentence; nothing applies until you say so.

Compliance & Alerts

Auto-detect scheduling conflicts, double-bookings, and credential gaps.Shift limits, hours caps, pairing rules, and custom constraints — enforced before you launch.

Swaps & Coverage

Shift swap marketplace with approval workflow.Someone calls out?Orbit ranks the best replacement and asks them by push or text.A reply of YES is enough; the schedule updates itself.

Multi-Site Roster

One unified roster across all clinics.Cross-site conflict detection and staff loans between sites.

Hours, Balances & the Timesheet

Scheduled hours roll up against each person's expected hours and FTE, so a lopsided week is visible before it publishes.PTO draws from real leave balances, and actual hours are compared against the plan.Partial days count too: "leaving at 3 on Thursday" debits half a day and shows on the schedule as exactly that.

HAL — Your Scheduling Assistant

HAL is the scheduling assistant inside Orbit, for schedulers and staff.You tell it what changed, and it works the week with you.

Schedule Builder & Validator

Checks credentials, pairing rules, capacity, and conflicts before launch.You name what fully staffed means at each site, and every row on the grid says whether the day is fully staffed or short.

Coverage, Availability & Alerts

Find open slots and available staff by role.Ask Orbit to watch something — open coverage gaps in my practice — and it tells you when the answer changes.

Fairness & Overtime

"Is my schedule fair?" HAL explains anyone's week in plain English.Workload alerts flag chronic overtime across an 8-week window.Suggests PTO windows when clinic stays strong without you.

Rule Capture & Memory

"Never pair Dr. Chen with Dr. Park" — HAL saves it as a rule.Conflict detection, impact preview, and undo.

Questions, answered.

Our spreadsheet works. Why switch?

The spreadsheet holds the plan; it doesn't run the week.When someone calls out at 6:40 a.m., the spreadsheet doesn't rank who can cover, message them, and update everyone's day — you do, by text.Orbit keeps the part you like (a grid you control) and takes over the part that eats your mornings.

How long does setup really take?

Paste your roster or your current schedule — Orbit reads spreadsheets and even screenshots — and it infers your sites, rooms, and rhythm.Rather hand it off?We'll send our setup workbook — your people, locations, and usual week in one file — and Orbit builds the practice from it when you upload it.

What happens when someone calls out?

Orbit starts a coverage search: it ranks available people by fairness, skills, and your pairing rules, reaches out — in the app, or by text for anyone who'd rather just reply YES — and updates the schedule the moment someone accepts.

Does my staff have to install anything?

No.Everyone sees their own day in the browser; the iPhone and Android apps are in beta today for those who want them.

What does it cost?

Everyone on your team signs in free.New practices start with a 90-day pilot at $250 a month, set up with you, and you can cancel anytime from your billing page.Details on the pricing page.

We have multiple locations and departments — does this scale?

Yes.Each location runs on its own clock; briefings land on local time.Multi-specialty groups: see medical groups.

Does Orbit connect to our EMR?

No. Your EMR keeps the patient schedule; Orbit keeps the staff schedule: who works where, with whom, and when.Orbit stores no patient information.When a decision in Orbit changes when a provider is in clinic (approved time off, a closed office, new hours), Orbit can draft the request for whoever changes that provider's template in your EMR.It opens in your own email and you send it. This is off until you turn it on.

Is patient information involved?

No — structurally.Orbit schedules your people, rooms, and time; it never touches patient records or clinical notes.It sits in the same category as your staff spreadsheet, not your EMR.Details on the security page.
