The HR or people-operations administrator, office manager or chief of staff at a US company of roughly 20 to 500 people who maintains the staff directory and redraws the org chart after every hire, promotion, reorganisation and departureNot a job-seeker researching a company's structure, not an employee looking up their own manager's title, not a church administrator keeping a congregation's photo directory, not a marketer building an outward-facing business listings site, and not an HR buyer shopping for payroll, rotas, leave, timesheets or reviews
The organizational chart, kept right between one reorganisation and the next
The person who keeps a company's staff directory and org chart meets the same three questions every quarter: how many managers and how many layers the headcount actually implies, what the company loses while people hunt for a colleague's extension or manager, and how much of the chart the dotted lines have quietly doubled. Orgbix is three free worksheets and one paid directory for that person. The organizational chart planner takes the headcount, the span of control, the people at the top and what redrawing costs an hour, and returns the boxes, the managers, the layers and what redrawing by hand costs a year. The employee directory sheet takes the headcount, the profile fields, how complete they are and how often somebody looks a colleague up, and returns the hours and dollars the lookup costs. The dotted line reporting sheet turns matrix reporting into the number of lines on the chart and the check-in load they create. Nothing here is payroll, a rota or a leave balance: this product knows who works here and who reports to whom, and it knows it today rather than as of the last reorganisation.
Orgbix Pro is $24 per month for the whole team, billed monthly.

The people, the lines, the chart
One place for who works here and who reports to whom
-
Every colleague with the fields a directory is actually used for
A directory people trust is one where the extension, the manager and the office are right for everybody, not for the sixty per cent whose profiles somebody finished. Orgbix shows what is missing per field and per person, so the gap is a list to work through rather than a feeling.
-
Solid lines and dotted lines drawn from the same record
Matrix reporting is invisible on most charts because the second manager has nowhere to live. Here the dotted line is a relationship on the person's record, so it appears on the chart, on the profile and in the count of what the matrix is costing in standing check-ins.
-
Every version kept, so a reorganisation is a diff rather than an argument
The chart that matters is the one before this one. Orgbix keeps each published version beside the people it was drawn from, so what changed in a reorganisation can be shown rather than remembered.
Orgbix Pro keeps the directory current so nobody redraws it twice
The sheet works the chart out this afternoon. Pro keeps it: the people, the lines and the version before this one, so the next reorganisation starts from the current chart instead of from last quarter's export.

Should you buy an HR system instead?
If you need payroll, leave balances, timesheets and reviews in one place, buy an HR system: they do all of that and they keep a staff list as a side effect. Orgbix is for the company that already has payroll somewhere it is happy with and has no directory anyone trusts, or has a chart that is a slide somebody redraws each quarter. It does two things and it does not charge per person for them.
| Orgbix | A general HR suite | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is for | The staff directory and the org chart, and the reporting lines between them | Payroll, leave, timesheets, reviews and hiring, with a staff list underneath |
| What it costs as you hire | $24 a month for the whole team, whatever the headcount | Usually a price per person per month, so the bill grows with the company |
| Dotted-line reporting | A relationship on the person's record, drawn on the chart and counted | Usually one manager field, with the second line kept in somebody's head |
| The chart's history | Every published version kept beside the people it was drawn from | The current chart, generated from today's records |
The comparison is about shape rather than price: no competitor's price is quoted on this site, because a per-person price cannot be stated as one figure without knowing your headcount. Compare the row you care about against your own vendor's published pricing page.
