Orion

Operations Execution Engine. Fully cloud based. Hosted and supported by NBS.

Orion is where work gets done. Every ticket sits against a customer, a site and an asset, is assigned to one or more technicians, and carries its labour, notes, photos and SLA clock. Recurring maintenance schedules itself, incoming customer email is filed against the right client automatically, and managers see workload, calendar and performance across the whole team.

Features

What Orion does.

Service tickets with multi-technician assignment, notes, attachments, labour and SLA timers

Asset register per site with service history and preventative / recurring maintenance schedules

Workload, calendar, My Tasks and top-performer views that count co-assigned work correctly

Live call map of clients and suppliers from Ledger addresses

Automatic device-health tickets from the managed-device estate (stale check-ins, low storage)

Internal notifications on notes, assignments and chat; knowledge base and staff vendor-training tracker

Benefits

Why teams choose Orion.

✓ Benefit

Nothing falls through

Every request, email or WhatsApp becomes a ticket with an owner and an SLA.

✓ Benefit

Assets, not just jobs

Service history follows the asset, so recurring faults and maintenance due dates are visible.

✓ Benefit

Shared data with Ledger

Customers, sites and assets come from Ledger, and completed work is ready to bill.

✓ Benefit

Team visibility

Managers see who is loaded, who is free and what is overdue, without a status meeting.

Security & compliance

Built to be trusted with your data.

Every NBS application signs in through Orbit: one account, hashed credentials, roles per person and per organisation, and a shared session across the suite. Data is hosted in ISO 27001-certified data centres over encrypted connections, backed up, and covered by the POPIA operator addendum in our subscription agreement. Specific to Orion:

Notifications go to active team members only — the customer is never emailed by Orion

Two-layer access: an Orbit sign-in plus an Orion user and permission record

Owner-only areas for sensitive views and payment lists

Mail intake learns senders only when a person files an email; three colleagues agreeing promotes a domain

Deploys are backed up and merged, never overwritten blind

Fully cloud based

Nothing to install. Nothing to maintain.

Orion is hosted by NBS and delivered as a subscription. Updates, backups, monitoring and support are part of the service, and it works from any modern browser or the NBS app where one is provided.

  • Runs in any browser on desk or handheld; technicians work from the phone in the field
  • Live, multi-user: shared state lives in the database, never on one person's device
  • Customer email flows in automatically; internal notifications go out server-side
  • Shares customers, sites and assets with Ledger and Fuse in real time

Subscription models

How Orion is priced.

Orion is sold as a hosted subscription, priced per technician or dispatcher per month. Every plan includes hosting, backups, updates and support. Hardware is added on rental with replacement cover, and once-off items cover setup and training. We quote per client after a short scoping call, and adding another NBS application later only needs an updated schedule, not a new agreement.
