01
The spreadsheet is the system of record
One file, several copies, and no reliable answer to which one is current.
Orbitech Software Solutions
Software, websites, and apps built for the way you work.
Custom software for the work that outgrew spreadsheets. Websites your team can update. Mobile apps that fit the job. We start with one problem and build something dependable, whether that means replacing shared files and email approvals or giving people a better way to reach you.
Senior-led and founder-run. No offshore teams, no handoff to juniors after the sale.
Where the work is still manual
Most of the organizations we work with are not missing software. They are missing the six or seven steps between the systems they already pay for, and those steps are being done by hand.
02
Approvals live in email chains
Checking status means scrolling back through a thread and hoping nobody replied off-list.
03
The same record is keyed in twice
Two systems that do not talk, plus a third place where the numbers disagree.
04
Intake arrives on paper and PDFs
Forms come back scanned, then someone transcribes them into a sheet before the work can start.
05
Monthly reporting is assembled by hand
Days of copying and pasting to produce a number that is out of date by the time it is read.
06
Clients and members have nowhere to go
Every request, update, and document arrives as an email that a person has to route.
What takes its place
One queue instead of a folder of files. One record per person or job. Reporting that is a by-product of the work rather than a separate monthly project.

What we build
Software you run on
Internal tools, data collection, approvals, reporting, integrations, and portals built around your actual process.
Websites
Fast, accessible sites your team can update, connected to the systems behind them where it helps.
Mobile and tablet apps
Apps for iOS and Android when the work needs a camera, offline access, notifications, or a tablet at the station.
Modernization
An application that still does its job, rebuilt on current foundations without losing its data or rules.
Ongoing partnership
Scoped monthly care for fixes, additions, reports, and the next improvement from someone who knows your system.
An ongoing partner, not a project vendor
Operational software is never finished, because the operation keeps changing. We start narrow, put something real in your team's hands early, and stay with it, adjusting as the process shifts and adding the next piece when it is worth adding.
You work with the person building the software. There is no account layer between you and the work, and no rotating bench of contractors learning your business on your budget.
We agree on scope and price before work starts, with the first version sized around one problem worth solving. Ongoing care is scoped month by month: hosting and fixes when things are quiet, new features when they are needed. You know the work before it starts and see the outcomes, with no hourly meter running.
How an engagement runs →- 01
Start with one process
We pick the one that costs the most hours, not the one that is easiest to describe.
- 02
Put something usable in front of people
A working tool your team can run a real week through, not a deck or a prototype.
- 03
Widen it as it earns its place
Each addition follows evidence from the last one, so scope grows for a reason.
- 04
Stay on for the long run
Maintenance, changes, and the next improvement, from someone who already knows the system.
The pattern of the work
VIA · Benchmarking for Excellence
An aging application, modernized
We rebuilt an old application into something faster and easier to use, cut monthly hosting cost to nothing, and opened the door to new revenue and far richer engagement data on their members.

Achieve Physical Therapy · Practice Edge
A spreadsheet that became a product
It began as one clinic's sheet for tracking where patients came from. It grew into a system that ties marketing spend to patient ROI, then into a SaaS product now expanding beyond physical therapy.
Spreadsheet
→ internal system → SaaS
MedGym · Baseline testing
Four manual steps into one application
Testing appointments, waivers, data entry, and reporting had all been managed by hand in spreadsheets. Administrators now run the whole service in one place, with less friction per test and deeper insight from the metrics.

Who you work with
Brock Herion
Founder, Orbitech Software Solutions
Seven years building software for companies of all shapes and sizes, across a lot of different industries. The through-line has been the same: someone is doing by hand what a system should be doing for them.
I started Orbitech to help local businesses and organizations grow, and to give something back to the community that has given me so much. Working with the founder means you are building a long-term partnership, not filing tickets with a vendor.
Our primary service area is Chicago and the western suburbs. We also work remotely with clients elsewhere.
