- Fragmentation and Integration: The non-league football ecosystem is highly fragmented, with diverse stakeholders including clubs, teams, players, and fans operating independently. The client needed a unified system to connect these entities while ensuring compatibility with existing tools.
- Diverse User Needs and Accessibility: Catering to the varied needs of clubs, players, and fans requires an intuitive, user-friendly system that delivers value to all groups. The company has potential ideas but lacks expertise in developing an accessible and efficient platform tailored to specific requirements.
