“ 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. ”
