Matdienst: Revolutionizing Football Club Management with Technology

Introduction

As a passionate football enthusiast and a developer, I've always looked for ways to blend my two interests. This led me to develop Matdienst, a multi-tenancy web application tailored for amateur football clubs. The app simplifies organizational tasks like material management and penalty tracking, which are typically managed inefficiently through cumbersome Excel sheets.

The Genesis of Matdienst

The idea for Matdienst struck me one typical weekend at the local football club. I noticed how organizational tasks were neglected and poorly managed. Trainers and team managers relied on printed Excel sheets pinned up in changing rooms—sheets that hardly anyone paid attention to, leading to forgotten responsibilities and chaos.

Turning Frustration into Innovation

Determined to solve this widespread issue, I envisioned a solution where technology does the heavy lifting. Why not replace those ignored, static sheets with a dynamic, digital display? That's where Matdienst comes into play. Designed to run on a simple Raspberry Pi connected to the changing room’s TV, this system ensures that everyone in the room is instantly aware of their tasks at a glance.

How Matdienst Works

Simplifying Tasks with Technology

Matdienst groups players by colors and rotates these groups automatically every Sunday at midnight. This automated system eliminates any manual effort to track and update the task assignments. The only action required? Turning on the TV.

Multi-Tenancy Architecture

A core feature of Matdienst is its multi-tenancy architecture, allowing multiple clubs to use the system simultaneously while keeping their data segregated and secure. This architecture was meticulously crafted to ensure scalability and ease of use.

Features and Benefits

  • Task Automation: Automatic rotation of tasks ensures fairness and consistency in responsibilities.
  • Visibility: Continuous display on communal TVs means no one misses out on knowing their tasks.
  • Customizability: Clubs can tailor the system to their specific needs, adding or modifying tasks as needed.
  • Accessibility: Easy access through any device connected to the internet, enhancing user engagement.
