Final Renders
We built Orbit’s dashboard around draggable, collapsible cards that users could configure to fit their workflow. Each module had its own interaction logic, status states, and filtering options.
Metrics that work for you
By turning complexity into clarity, we gave teams a dashboard that worked around them—not the other way around. The redesign helped Orbit shift from being a data provider to a decision-making platform.
