Overview

In-Play Sports is analyst-facing SaaS: the product quality was improving, but parts of the UI still read like an older generation of tools. This engagement focused on key surfaces where analysts spend their time — making workflows faster, clearer, and closer to the polish users expect from top-tier sports video products.

What Shipped

  • -Rebuilt core UI components into a cleaner, more consistent system
  • -A new notification system with clearer hierarchy and less noise
  • -A changelog experience that improved transparency and engagement
  • -A full redesign of the video list page — navigation, density, and filtering

Notification System — Before / After

The original notifications were dense and hard to scan during live work. The redesign introduces clearer hierarchy, distinct states, and far less visual noise.

Before
Original In-Play Sports notification panel — dense, low contrast, hard to scan
After
Redesigned notification panel — clearer hierarchy, distinct states, less noise

Notifications — pre and post redesign

Video List Page — Before / After

Analysts spend a lot of time on the video list. The redesign rebuilt density, navigation, and filtering so scanning, filtering, and opening the right asset became a fast, repeat-friendly action.

Before
Original video list page — limited density, weaker hierarchy, slower navigation
After
Redesigned video list page — denser data, faster navigation, cleaner filtering

Analytics Surfaces

Selected views from the modernised analytics surfaces — chart styling, data density, comparison layouts, and contextual UI built to feel at home next to higher-tier sports video products.

Product Goal

The target was not just "new paint" — it was analyst UX that could sit next to higher-tier competitors without feeling like a downgrade. That meant tightening information architecture, reducing friction in repeat workflows, and making critical actions obvious.

Why It Mattered

For a platform selling to serious teams, the frontend is part of the proof. Modernising these areas reduced the gap between product capability and first-session experience.
