Project overview
Andersen was chosen as an IT service provider by a leading European football club. This customer asked us to implement an ambitious idea. The club wanted to obtain and provide their fans with a media and entertainment streaming platform for watching several types of sports content, such as live streaming, football matches, training sessions, and the latest news concerning the club via Smart TVs. It was also necessary to integrate an online store selling branded merchandise like, collectibles, souvenirs, and tickets.
Solution
Andersen’s team of IT experts worked in close contact with the representatives of the football club. We applied our deep experience and expertise to envision and create a set of outstanding applications. All the specific challenges associated with the video content in general and sports streams, in particular, were taken into consideration. One of them was to ensure that the content would be delivered seamlessly, in a user-friendly and intuitive fashion, and in real-time.

User Flow
The team conducted research within the UX realm to make the user experience intuitive and logically aligned. All stages of the user path are presented in the blocks below.
Home Page
Events
The home page is designed in the customer's corporate colors (muted blue and deep orange). It presents a preview of the current game that the user is interested in. A block below is a feeder, where you can scroll through other live broadcasts or upcoming game broadcasts.
On the event page, you can select the sport you are interested in and the day you want to check out the game. On the right side, there is a detailed schedule on a semi-transparent backing so as not to distract the user's attention.
Channels
With the channels, we followed a tabular logic, where the time and a brief description of the broadcasts are placed according to the week's grid. When you click on the air of a particular channel, you have the option to record the broadcast or go directly to the channel.
Player
Selected Channel
In the built-in player, all classic multimedia functions are available (full screen, rewind, pause, record, etc.). Plus, by clicking on 'more' in the menu located on the left side, the user can select broadcasts from other TV channels without switching to other pages.
When you click on 'selected channel', the screen becomes divided into two visual blocks: the block with what is currently playing and the block with programs you might want to watch or your library of recordings.
