packbit combines the power of PowerShell with the simplicity of low-code. Packaging, deployment and migration get faster and more reliable.
The problem
Most teams are running dozens of them at once, by hand.
There is no shared standard and no way to review a package before it lands on a production endpoint. The portfolio grows anyway.
Packaging used to land on a desk now and then. Today it is a queue, and every item in it is a bespoke PowerShell script that somebody has to write, test, and then maintain for years after its author has moved on.
Sound familiar? Then you already know why packbit exists.
See how packbit fixes itWhy packbit
From manual scripting to a standardized, visual packaging process
packbit keeps everything that makes PowerShell powerful and removes the part that doesn't scale: writing the same logic by hand, application after application.
Assemble install, uninstall, and repair logic from blocks instead of writing every PowerShell command by hand. The structure of a package is visible at a glance, and the next person can read it without reverse-engineering a script.
packbit doesn't replace PowerShell, it makes it easier to use. The generated script is right there, and advanced users keep the full language.
Packages are built on the PowerShell App Deployment Toolkit, the deployment standard your team already trusts and knows how to debug.
Analyze existing packages, transform them, and carry them into a new environment. The tedious part is automated; the judgement calls stay with you.
Every package follows the same shape across admins, teams, and environments, so a colleague can pick one up and understand it in a minute.
Turn recurring logic like licence files, service handling, and cleanup into building blocks, then drop them into the next package.
Built for environments where scale and maintainability outrank a clever one-off, and where a new tool has to fit the process you already have.
The migration engine
Move applications between environments without rebuilding from scratch
packbit's migration engine automates the tedious parts of the move. A migration is a diff, not a rewrite.
See what the engine doesHow it works
From an empty package to a deployed application
The same process for every application, whether it is a simple MSI or a vendor installer with a decade of accumulated quirks.
Drag in the steps the installation actually needs: copy a file, run a setup, clean up a shortcut. The whole sequence reads as a list instead of a wall of script.
Set installation logic, requirements, detection, dependencies, and deployment behaviour as declared values, so the next person reads the intent instead of reconstructing it.
Point the migration engine at what you already have. It analyzes the existing package, transforms it to the target standard, and tells you exactly which parts still need a decision.
The result is a standard PSADT package. Hand it to the management platform you use today. No new deployment infrastructure, no migration of your migration.

The package and the generated script it produces
Build the sequence on the left, and read the exact PowerShell it produces on the right, before the package ever reaches a test machine.
## MARK: Install
# Copy configuration files
Copy-ADTFile -Path "$envProgramFilesX86\ECM\HwPlugin.ini" `
-Destination "$envProgramData\packbit\ECM"
# Install the application
Start-ADTProcess -FilePath "$($adtSession.DirFiles)\setup.exe" `
-ArgumentList '/S /v"/qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress"'
# Remove folder
Remove-ADTFolder -Path "$envProgramFilesX86\ECM\Temp"This one is live: add a block, edit a parameter, reorder the sequence, and the PowerShell follows.
Integrations
packbit complements your endpoint management stack instead of replacing it
packbit produces standard PSADT packages. Deploy them the way you already deploy everything else.

Something missing from this list? The output is a plain PSADT package. If your infrastructure can run PowerShell, it can run a packbit package.
Why now
Packaging used to be a task. It's now a queue.
The queue gets longer while the deadlines get shorter. Manual scripting was never going to survive that.
Every trend in endpoint management adds packaging work, and none of them add packaging capacity. Standardization and automation stop being nice-to-have once the backlog outgrows the team. For most organizations that already happened.

Scripting is getting too complex to hold in one person's head. packbit turns it into a process you can standardize and automate.
