Bringing Coaching Materials to the Team On-the-Go

Before the collaboration with TeamViewer, Manchester United spent a significant amount of time uploading coaching files to different locations to make these available to the travelling team, in particular for away matches.

Thanks to TeamViewer, the team now has highly secure remote access to the servers in Manchester from everywhere in the world. As an added advantage, the team can also remotely manage the video wall in their gym to ensure personalized and targeted training sessions.

Bringing Augmented Reality to the Club’s Frontline Workers

At Old Trafford, a lot of preparation goes into every match. The property services staff play a vital role in assuring that the stadium is in peak condition to host several thousand excited fans. TeamViewer supports this preparation with smart technology that lowers error rates while ensuring immediate digitalised documentation of each stadium check.

Bringing Online Fan Support to the Next Level

In response to Covid-19, Manchester United saw a need to improve online support to fans, including replacing an outdated ticketing platform by providing a digital ticketing offer, and enabling online self-service. Here’s how we support the club with these challenges.

Improving Online Fan Support

When fans need help purchasing a match ticket online, they can now grant Manchester United’s ticketing advisors permission to remotely activate a co-browsing session via TeamViewer. In real time, the advisors guide fans through the checkout process as if they were sitting right next to them, resolving their issue quickly and efficiently.

Customising Online Fan Support

When reaching out for online support, TeamViewer enables Manchester United fans to choose between co-browsing, which allows advisors to temporarily control their screen, or simply share their screen with an advisor. Naturally, sensitive data (e.g., credit card data) cannot be viewed by advisors, protecting privacy, and ensuring utmost security.

Understanding Online Support Demand

TeamViewer empowers Manchester United to download a full report on key online engagement measurements. This helps identify relevant UX and technology improvements, together with patterns of demand to help manage resource allocation for busier times, such as on the run up to a match.
