Client Overview
BirdieBoardGolf is an innovative platform developed to simplify golf tournament organisation, manage players and sponsors, and create engaging experiences for golf enthusiasts.

The source PDF describes this as a platform for tournament management, CRM, promotional campaigns, analytics, and mobile app capabilities

Sponsors needed better visibility, contribution tracking, branding control, and a clearer way to manage their sponsorship involvement. - Complex User Roles and Permissions
The platform required different access levels for admins, players, sponsors, volunteers, and other users - Inefficient Communication
