“ Cotech’s Participant solution has been a major breakthrough in the way teams register to play in the Umbro Fives tournament this year. Almost a third of all registrations so far have come via the online solution allowing us to reach a completely different market. The ability to split funds after payment has simplified the reconciliation process and proved a real hit with commercial providers. ”
