Pitch – RMT
An Invite-Only Platform Connecting Elite Football Scouts with Rising Talents
Project Brief
Pitch – RMT is an exclusive, invite-only web platform designed to bring professional football scouts and aspiring players together in a highly curated environment. Built using Laravel and MySQL, the platform leverages a robust subscription model to facilitate the seamless exchange of in-depth scouting reports and performance evaluations. With a strong emphasis on quality, credibility, and expert insights, Pitch – RMT sets a new standard in talent identification and player development.
Whether you're a player looking to gain professional feedback or a scout looking to expand your influence, Pitch – RMT offers a structured, feature-rich environment that encourages growth, transparency, and collaboration.
The Challenge
Key problems we set out to solve:
- Bridge the gap between professional scouts and unsigned or underrepresented players.
- Enable detailed reporting from scouts covering technical, tactical, and psychological aspects.
- Create a fair and secure subscription model that works for both players and scouts.
- Ensure platform exclusivity to maintain high standards and trust.
Our Approach
We engineered a premium, Laravel-powered web platform with a strong emphasis on:
- Seamless subscription handling via Stripe Connect & Stripe Subscriptions.
- End-to-end interactions between scouts and players.
- Structured delivery of professional Scout Reports.
- Scalable infrastructure to support future public launch phases.
Technology Stack
- Laravel – Backend logic, user workflows, and report generation.
- MySQL – Structured relational database to manage users, reports, payments, and communication.
- Stripe Subscriptions – Enables flexible and recurring payment plans.
- Stripe Connect – Managed earnings for scouts and ensures secure fund transfers.
- LAMP Stack – Stable, scalable hosting environment.
Invite-Only Access
To maintain a high bar for quality and integrity, Pitch – RMT operates on an invite-only model. Early access is granted to verified scouts and handpicked players. This controlled growth ensures only credible users participate, making every interaction valuable and trust-driven.
Subscription & Scout Reports
Both players and scouts can subscribe to monthly plans. Based on their tier:
- Players receive 1 free scout report per month, created by a scout of their choosing.
- Scouts can offer reports proactively or respond to incoming requests from players. Each Scout Report is a comprehensive breakdown covering:
- Technical ability
- Physiological and psychological traits
- Tactical intelligence
- Aggression, composure, and overall impact
Reports are stored securely, and players can access them any time for review, training, or even club trials.
Payments & Revenue Sharing
We implemented Stripe Connect to handle multi-party payments and payouts. The system ensures:
- Secure payments for subscriptions.
- Seamless earnings distribution to scouts.
- Automated invoicing and transaction logs for transparency.
