key target

Visualize unique 16 indicators to generate a new kind of player profile.

Indicators have been grouped by off and on the ball and visualized with two radar charts used throughout the app, e.g. to compare player profiles side-by-side.

ui/ux design

Explore the big data.

We developed an interface that made it easy to find the player or team you are looking for by providing various filters in a right sidebar and a scatterplot as well as a heatmap accompanied by a table.

DATA VISUALIZATION DESIGN

Get into the details with profile views.

We designed different data visualizations for the profiles of players, teams and matches. 

What we did

Make it easy to compare content.

We used several simple chart types such as bar charts to compare data side-by-side and often show a benchmark value, too.

personal

Custom data and profile page for each user.

Every welcome page after the log-in looks differently and shows only relevant data to the user.

An eminently contemporary tool whose intuitive and touch-optimised design makes for user-friendly operation and provides managers with support for their daily work.
