dBocl: Back-of-House Event Management Platform
Database Organizing Chaotic Logistics
Introduction
dBocl (pronounced "debacle" = dĭ-bä'kəl) is an all-in-one back-of-house event management platform designed for event producers, festival organizers, theatrical company managers, tour managers, and other event professionals. The platform addresses a critical gap in the event management industry by focusing specifically on back-of-house (BOH) production logistics and schedules, rather than front-of-house needs like attendee management, budgeting, and marketing.
As the name suggests (Database Organizing Chaotic Logistics), dBocl was created on the principle that "chaos is born out of disorder and confusion - disorder because we don't have simple organized systems, and confusion because we don't all have the information we need." The platform aims to organize your information and connect everyone to it, providing an elegant and simple way of event planning.
