Stats Perform Signs Deal with Eintracht Frankfurt

Stats Perform has announced an agreement with Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, who will be utilising the ProVision platform to support its international recruitment operation.

Having secured European qualification as a result of a fifth-placed league finish in 2020/21, Eintracht Frankfurt is embarking on a new era following the summer appointments of Markus Krösche and Oliver Glasner as Sporting CEO and Head Coach respectively. The new club leadership is looking to technology to give their club a competitive edge.

The club’s scouting department will be using ProVision to monitor key recruitment competitions, both domestically and overseas. ProVision will empower Eintracht’s team of data analysts to undertake detailed data profiling of prospects, across multiple recruitment markets, through the deep interrogation of Opta event data and advanced Opta Analytics insights.

“ProVision will be of great value to us in supporting the execution of our short, medium and long-term player recruitment strategies. The solution will allow us to undertake in-depth analysis of players, using data to identify performance trends, in line with our key recruitment criteria. Consequently, ProVision is a very good addition to our existing scouting structures,” Markus Krösche, Sporting CEO at Eintracht Frankfurt, said

Using hundreds of different data filters, Eintracht’s analysts will have the ability to build personalised reports and metrics, allowing them to analyse and compare recruitment targets in line with role-specific KPIs across different areas of the pitch. In addition, the analysts will be able to cross-reference their analytical insights with integrated video, as well as connect to an API to pull data directly from its ProVision reports straight into coding platforms, to streamline offline workflows.

“We are delighted to be able to support the existing processes in place within Eintracht Frankfurt’s scouting department by providing them with access to ProVision. We are passionate about helping clubs optimise their day-to-day operations and by providing a tool which allows recruitment analysts to interrogate hundreds of different Opta events and qualifiers, we can help Eintracht attain new insights into the underlying performance of recruitment prospects across key markets,” Stephan Hanke, Vice President of Sales in Europe at Stats Perform, said.
