The problem

Before Okulo, a tour ran on spreadsheets, group chats and email threads that rarely agreed, and every change on the road meant updating several places by hand.

Okulo Tour view: every date and deal in the year, with status filters.
TourEvery date and deal of the year, filtered by where each one stands.

My approach

I started with the people on the road. Each role on a touring team gets its own view of the same information, so nobody retypes what someone else already knows.

Okulo Road view: booked rides and transfers between tour dates.
RoadRides and transfers between dates, booked and kept in one list.

My role

I designed the product, wrote every line of it, and handle the testing, security, launch and day to day running.

Okulo Finances view: settlements for the year, paid against what is still pending.

Where it is now

Right now it's in the hands of working artists out on tour, and on October 10 the rest of the touring world gets its turn. I can't wait to see where they take it.
