Saturation.io

What is Saturation.io?

Saturation.io is a cloud-based financial platform for film and video production teams that combines budgeting, expense tracking, and cost reporting. It supports productions ranging from independent features to studio projects by centralizing estimates, actuals, and card spending. A free tier limits users to one active project, while paid plans unlock multiple projects and additional account items.

What are the features of Saturation.io?

• Collaborative budgeting

  Build budgets with line items, rates, fringes, and actuals using industry-standard templates or imports from Movie Magic, Excel, and CSV files.
• Real-time actualization

  Display actuals beside estimates on every budget line, with rollup phases such as Estimate minus Actual to show remaining funds.
• Expense cards

  Issue virtual or physical credit and debit cards that code charges directly to budget lines, with receipt uploads via Saturation Wallet.
• Approval routing

  Send invoices, payments, or other items through role-based approval flows that can be branched, delayed, or tested (Team plan and above).
• Project library

  Store reference data including rates, fringes, currencies, units, tags, and incentives for reuse across workspaces.
• Public API and MCP server

  Connect external tools or point AI assistants at the workspace via an API and Model Context Protocol server.

What are the use cases of Saturation.io?

• Department-level budget sharing

  Producers save a scoped view of specific accounts and share it as a read-only link so department heads see only their allocation.
• Payroll import matching

  Import payroll logs from providers like Wrapbook or Media Services as CSV or .ULT files, automatically matching rows to contacts and budget accounts.
• Multi-production oversight

  Group projects into workspaces to switch between several active productions without losing context.
