A fan experience in every
Authentic merchandise with QR codes that unlock exclusive content, connect fans, and help items find their way home.
The Challenge for Sports Teams
Merchandise is a commodity
Fan products are interchangeable – hard to stand out from competitors.
Fake merch hurts
Counterfeit merchandise undermines the brand and costs revenue.
Stadium lost & found
Fans lose jerseys, scarves, and accessories – managing lost items is time-consuming.
No post-purchase connection
After the sale, there is no ongoing link between club and fan.
