What is Orthantic
A planning platform built around the way your team works.
Orthantic is a structured planning platform. It gives teams one place to plan with the right dimensions, business rules and shared data.
Instead of running the process across spreadsheets, email and disconnected tools, teams work in a planning model built for the job. That makes planning easier to update, easier to review and easier to trust.
Each team can have its own purpose-built model. When plans need to work together, Orthantic lets teams share the outputs that matter without rebuilding the same numbers in another file. One platform, multiple planning models explains how that works.
What makes it different from a spreadsheet
Spreadsheets still have value. Orthantic helps when planning becomes shared, recurring and too complex to manage well across files.
| Where it bites | In a spreadsheet model | In Orthantic |
|---|---|---|
| Adding a dimension | A new region means rebuilding tabs and re-pointing formulas | Add the region to the location structure; every plan that uses it inherits it |
| Logic | Repeated in thousands of cells; one paste breaks it silently | One readable formula, applied across the whole structure |
| Anything the tool can't do | Becomes a macro, a script or a warehouse job somebody has to maintain | Stays a formula a planner can read and change |
| Multiple planners | Copies emailed around, merged by hand | Everyone in the same model, at the same moment |
| Recalculation | Full-file recalculation, or a manual refresh people forget | Only the affected plans rebuild — but each one in full, at its real grain |
| Who changed this | Version history at file level, at best | Cell level: old value, new value, person, timestamp |
| Access | The file is open or it is closed | By role, and by the specific slice of data a person owns |
Who it is for
