BUSINESS EXECUTION SOFTWARE • AVAILABLE NOW
MCT Orbit
One place to run your people, projects, and performance.
Keep the work and the people behind it connected.
Orbit by MCT Nexus is a business execution and work management platform connecting projects, time, budgets, meetings, people and performance in one coordinated workspace. See the current product and pricing pages for plan-specific availability.
The direction goes beyond a task list: connect what a team commits to, the effort it spends, the decisions it makes and the progress managers need to understand.
Explore the product areas below, then compare current plans and start a trial on the pricing page.
Less time piecing the business together.
A project schedule may live in one system, time entries in another and budget updates in a spreadsheet. Meeting actions disappear into notes while employee goals sit outside the work those employees actually deliver. Managers then spend time reconciling records before they can decide what needs attention.
MCT Orbit’s goal is to bring those relationships into view: who owns the work, what is due, where effort is going and which conversations or decisions need follow-through. It is a business execution platform for the day-to-day coordination behind delivery.
Six connected areas. One Orbit.

From a meeting decision to measurable work.
Consider a project review where a customer change affects a milestone. The useful outcome is more than a meeting note: the team needs an owner, a revised plan and a way to understand the effect on effort and cost.
The Orbit concept connects that sequence:
- Decide: record the decision and the action it creates.
- Assign: connect the action to an owner, task and target date.
- Track: relate progress and time spent to the project plan.
- Review: use the same context in budget, workload and management discussions.
This is an illustrative workflow showing the intended relationship between product areas.
Built around how teams deliver.
The starting point is organizations that need to coordinate people and project work. The product direction is relevant across industries, including teams outside manufacturing.
Engineering & manufacturing teams
Connect design work, equipment projects, schedules and the people responsible for delivery.
Machine builders & integrators
Bring project commitments, engineering effort, meeting actions and budget conversations into one context.
Professional services & project businesses
Coordinate client work, team capacity, time and management follow-through across multiple projects.
Managers and department leaders should be able to understand both delivery and people development. Individual contributors should be able to see their responsibilities and how their work fits the larger plan. These needs guide the product direction.
A clear distinction between direction and availability.
Current availability
Orbit is available through subscription plans with a one-month trial and a five-user minimum. Current pricing and included features are listed on the pricing page.
Review current plans or discuss your workflow with MCT Nexus before planning a rollout.
Possible future expansion
Future areas under consideration include employee posts and announcements, internal communication, recognition and engagement, AI assistance and deeper business intelligence.
These are roadmap ideas. They should not be treated as available functionality or delivery commitments.
Questions about MCT Orbit
Is Orbit only a project management tool?
No. Project management is one part of Orbit. Its business execution approach connects people, projects, time, budgets, meetings and performance.
Is it only for engineering companies?
No. Engineering and industrial teams inform the starting point, but the intended users also include professional services and other organizations that coordinate people and project work.
Will Orbit replace accounting software?
The budget direction focuses on project budgets, labor costs and planned-versus-actual visibility. Accounting, payroll, tax and financial-compliance functions are not promised.
How is Orbit different from VoltCAD?
MCT Orbit focuses on business execution and work management. VoltCAD is MCT Nexus’s separate electrical engineering software initiative. They address different workflows.
