Key problems

The client faced several operational challenges due to its fragmented offline processes and lack of a digital interface:
 

  • Manual match and tournament scheduling led to conflicts and miscommunication.
     
  • Lack of visibility for equipment vendors, cricket grounds, and training partners.
     
  • Difficulty managing player registrations, scores, and statistics.
     
  • No system for tracking tournament performance or team histories.
     
  • Required a platform to digitally engage with players, vendors, and ground managers.
     
     

Objectives


The client partnered with Nichetech to build a comprehensive web application with the following goals:
 

  • Digitize and streamline match and tournament management.
     
  • Facilitate player and team registrations.
     
  • Provide real-time score tracking and result updates.
     
  • List and manage cricket-related vendors and ground partners.
     
  • Offer a responsive user experience for mobile and desktop users.
     

Enable self-service for vendors and ground owners to manage listings.
