SoftwareOne creates new digital offering for VfL Bochum

SoftwareOne with headquarters in Stans in the canton of Nidwalden has expanded the digital offering for the soccer club VfL Bochum 1848. According to a press release, the traditional club has restructured and is announcing “exciting experiences, whether in the stadium, en route to a game, in the fan store, or when buying tickets” in order to better meet fans’ needs.

To implement these changes, the Bundesliga team brought on board the technology partner SoftwareOne, a global end-to-end software and cloud technology solution provider.

The first step involved the digitization of season ticket sales via a web app on the cloud computing platform Microsoft Azure and a change to a subscription process. This means that 15,000 fans will receive a new subscription card at the start of the season in the first Bundesliga.

Besides automated season ticket sales including a digital signature, there is also an updated website with new services. The responsive design developed by the agency Beyer Görges enables content and functions to be easy to read and operate using mobile end devices such as smartphones and tablets. There is also access to additional options via a browser-based app. ce/heg
