Orbitio

A part-time business manager for shops and small businesses that need one but not five days a week.

Stock and suppliers, rotas, invoicing, pricing, the online side, keeping an eye on what the competition is doing. A couple of days a month, fixed figure, no tie-in. I build my own tools, so the routine work takes hours not days, and the days you pay for go on the decisions: what to order, what to charge, what to stop doing.

What I take off you

The admin

Invoicing, chasing, reconciliation, inbox triage, the compliance paperwork. Done, and a rundown of what's outstanding each month.

Stock and suppliers

What to order, when, from whom. Dead lines out, flying lines topped up, supplier minimums and price changes watched. Finding and pricing new products when the range needs it.

The online side

Website, Google listing, socials, product photos and graphics. Kept current so a stranger can find you, see what you sell, and trust it.

The competition

A regular look at what the shops and chains around you are charging and stocking, and what to do about it before it costs you.

Staff and rotas

Rotas that cover the hours, holiday tracked, clean pay-period figures for your accountant. Prep, not payroll.

The tool you can't buy

When the job needs a bit of software your till doesn't do, I build it. Fast, single-purpose, yours to keep.

Live demos

Real tools, dummy data. Click around, break nothing.

Built for: independent vape shops

Supply & Demand

Reads your till export and your delivery invoices, works out what's dying, what's flying and what to order this week, and drafts the purchase order. Suggests the order. You press send.

How it works

  1. Tell me what's piling up. A message, a call, a photo of the spreadsheet. Plain English is fine.
  2. First month, one concrete job. Usually stock: I take your till export and your last few delivery invoices, come back with a reorder plan we agree together, and run it for the month so you can see whether it's right before anything else changes. If the job needs a tool, you see it on dummy data before you hand over anything real.
  3. Then it's month to month. I keep the things I've taken on running, add the next one when you're ready, and you get a short written rundown each month of what changed and what I'd do next.

What you're paying for

Monthly retainer
The main offer. A business manager for a fixed number of days a month, agreed up front. Stock and supplier orders, invoicing and chasing, rotas and holiday, repricing when costs change, your website and socials, a regular look at what the competition is charging, finding and pricing new lines. Whatever mix your business needs. I build tools where they save you money and skip them where they don't. Fixed monthly figure, month to month, no tie-in.
One-off build
Just need the tool? One price, agreed before I start. Covers the build, putting your real data in, and getting it live.
Hosting
Small, cheap, and passed on at cost. Most of these tools cost pennies a month to run.
"Yours"
Means yours. You get the code, your data, and a written handover of anything I've been running, and nothing stops working if we part ways.

No prices on the site because every business is different, but the retainer is a fixed monthly number and you'll have it before any work starts.

About

Orbitio is me, Will Williams. One person, not an agency. Years as assistant business manager at an independent retailer with more than one shop: invoicing, stock and supplier orders, competitive merchandising, staff rotas, compliance, branding, the admin nobody else wanted. Then I taught myself to build software, and Orbitio is those two things together. Vape shops are where I started; any small business with stock, staff or admin is the same job underneath. Based in South Wales, work remotely, happy to come and see the place if you're within reach.
