Diobox: Transforming Event Management with Modern Web Development

Client Overview

Diobox is a leading platform in the event management industry, offering a comprehensive suite of tools for organizing, managing, and executing events of all sizes. With a focus on delivering top-tier services to event planners and hosts, Diobox required a complete overhaul of their legacy frontend and the addition of new, innovative features to meet the growing demands of their clients.

Project Scope

Manystack was engaged by Diobox to modernize their web application, starting with replacing their outdated Angular frontend with a sleek, efficient React implementation. The goal was not just to refresh the user interface, but to enhance functionality, user experience, and overall performance—ensuring Diobox remains at the forefront of event management technology.

Our Contributions

1. Modern Frontend Overhaul

We replaced the legacy Angular frontend with a robust React implementation. Leveraging the latest technologies, we ensured that the new frontend is not only faster and more responsive but also scalable and easier to maintain. The modernized interface now offers a seamless user experience that aligns with the high standards of Diobox's brand.

2. Visual Email Builder

Visual Email Builder

To enhance Diobox's communication tools, we developed a Visual Email Builder. This feature allows users to create professional-grade emails through a simple drag-and-drop interface, without the need for any coding knowledge. This tool empowers event organizers to design and send beautifully crafted emails, ensuring their communications are as polished as their events.

3. Drag-and-Drop Guest Seating

Drag-and-Drop Guest Seating

We introduced a drag-and-drop interface for managing guest tables and seating arrangements. This feature provides event planners with an intuitive way to organize seating, making the complex task of event setup easier and more visual. Users can now easily adjust seating arrangements on the fly, ensuring every detail of the event is meticulously planned.

4. Customizable Form Builder

Customizable Form Builder

We developed a highly customizable form builder for RSVP, Registration, and Survey forms. This tool allows users to create forms tailored to their specific needs, whether it’s collecting RSVPs, gathering guest information, or conducting post-event surveys. The forms can be sent via email, shared through a link, or embedded directly into websites, providing maximum flexibility for event organizers.

5. Guest Check-In and Ticketing

Guest Check-In and Ticketing

To streamline event day operations, we implemented a guest check-in functionality and an integrated ticketing system. These features ensure a smooth and professional experience for both event hosts and attendees. The check-in process is quick and efficient, reducing wait times and enhancing the overall guest experience.
