Everything a producer needs.
Nothing they don't.

doobid gives you the power of enterprise budgeting software with the simplicity of the tools you already love.

Budget Creation with Version Control

Build detailed budgets by category with full version history. Track every revision so you always know what changed, when, and why.

Markup, Insurance & Contingency

Add markup percentages, insurance, and contingency by budget category — not just at the top level. Granular control for accurate client-facing budgets.

Real-Time Collaboration

Invite your team to collaborate on budgets via comments. Discuss line items, flag concerns, and approve changes — all within doobid.

Purchase Order Management

Create POs with relevant, customizable language directly within the platform. No more switching between apps to manage vendor commitments.

Scope Change Tracking

Track scope changes by individual line item. See exactly where the budget moved and generate variance reports to keep stakeholders informed.

Invoice Import & Actualization

Easily import invoices and actualize costs within doobid. No more manually keying numbers or saving PDF scans in a folder on your desktop.

How It Works

From estimate to wrap report
in four steps.

doobid streamlines the entire production budget lifecycle.

01

Create Your Budget

Build your budget by category, add markup, insurance, and contingency. Use version control to track every iteration from pitch to greenlight.

02

Collaborate & Approve

Share with your team and clients. Use comments to discuss line items, request changes, and lock in approved versions.

03

Manage POs & Track Costs

Issue purchase orders with customizable language. Import invoices to actualize costs in real time. Track scope changes by line item.

04

Report & Export

Generate variance reports and connect to QuickBooks Online to seamlessly export actuals and invoices to your accounting system.

"There has to be a better way than manually keying numbers into an actuals column while saving PDF scans of invoices in a folder."

Our Story

Built by a producer who lived the problem.

doobid was designed by a production accountant with more than 15 years in the industry — someone who has worked with every budget spreadsheet under the sun and spent countless hours in the trenches of production finance.

After years of wrestling with clunky desktop software, incompatible file formats, and error-prone manual workflows, the frustration crystallized into a mission: build the tool that production professionals actually deserve.

doobid isn't a generic accounting tool adapted for production. It's purpose-built from the ground up by someone who understands the unique demands of events and video production budgeting.
