bespoke event management software
Event management software for entries, tickets and results
Digitav builds cloud platforms for events and competitions that need applications, ticketing, competition administration and results in one system, rather than a patchwork of forms, spreadsheets and ticket sites.
When bespoke event software makes sense
When an off-the-shelf ticketing or entry tool can’t handle your categories, rules, competition stages or results, and staff are re-keying information between systems during the busiest days of the year.
