Following on from our work with Arsenal FC on their Mobile Scouting App, Arsenal's Head of Recruitment engaged us in a conversation about a digital transformation for their player scouting and recruitment process. Impressed with the existing scouting app we'd created, they came to the table armed with fresh ideas for a new internal player database - or player hub.

Arsenal's existing process was a mishmash of emailed PDF reports and accessing various player statistic web services - including StatDNA, a match stats company owned by Arsenal. They wanted to unify all this data, pulling various APIs all into one place and improving their own data capture methods by automating scouting reports through the platform.

Through a series of design workshops, we fleshed out features and created sketches and prototypes leading to the creation of a final high fidelity interactive prototype that could be used to fully scope out the project and get buy-in from the club to go ahead with full development. The player hub would also go on to integrate with the existing mobile scouting app as a method of data capture.
