In elite sports organizations, financial efficiency and performance optimization go hand in hand. Management teams need access to real-time insights that help them assess athlete value, monitor key financial metrics, and make informed decisions about squad development, retention, and investment. However, consolidating financial, performance, and availability data into one actionable view has traditionally been a challenge—until now.

The Self-Service Reporting capabilities in iP: Intelligence Platform empower general managers with centralized, customizable, and dynamic reporting tools. By integrating financial and performance data into one intuitive dashboard, leadership can assess cost efficiency, evaluate athlete contributions, and make data-informed decisions that drive success.

Smarter Decision-Making Through Centralized Data

General managers can now streamline decision-making with real-time access to:

• Financial and performance data in one consolidated view.
• Athlete cost-to-value assessments to determine squad efficiency.
• Dynamic comparisons across athletes, squads, and time periods.
• Intuitive, configurable dashboards that provide a seamless reporting experience.

These capabilities enable leadership teams to make more informed, evidence-based decisions, ensuring optimal resource allocation and athlete development strategies.

Assessing Athlete Performance vs. Financial Value

A key challenge for management is determining whether an athlete’s performance justifies their cost. With Self-Service Reporting, general managers can:

• Review performance metrics in relation to salary and market value.
• Track weekly or yearly cost efficiency of each player.
• Compare athletes’ contributions to squad goals and financial investments.

For example, a cost-value analysis dashboard allows management to evaluate whether an athlete’s impact on the field aligns with their financial investment, providing data-driven context for retention, development, or transfer decisions.

Flexible Reporting for Individual & Squad-Level Comparisons

General managers require the ability to assess individual athletes, position groups, and squad-wide trends. Self-Service Reporting provides:

• Squad-wide financial impact assessments, including availability and cost efficiency.
• Individual athlete evaluations, leveraging the pivot function to drill down on specific data points.
• Cross-squad comparisons to benchmark players and identify outliers.

For example, an availability vs. cost dashboard can highlight whether an athlete is providing enough value based on their time spent on the field. This allows organizations to make strategic personnel decisions based on both financial and performance data.

Monitoring Performance Trends & Financial Impact Over Time

Performance value is not static—it evolves over time. With Self-Service Reporting, management can:

• Track individual and squad-wide performance trajectories.
• Identify trends in player development and market value.
• Assess whether an athlete’s contributions are increasing, plateauing, or declining.

For example, longitudinal analysis allows management to determine whether an athlete’s performance is trending upwards -justifying continued investment- or if underperformance suggests a need for a change in strategy.

Participation, Training, & Performance Insights

Beyond financial efficiency, participation data provides crucial insights into an athlete’s development and readiness. Self-Service Reporting enables organizations to:

• Compare athlete participation levels across training and competition.
• Analyze game minutes, training attendance, and engagement levels.
• Assess the impact of training consistency on match performance.

For example, tracking training attendance and its correlation to match performance can help management understand whether a lack of training participation is affecting an athlete’s effectiveness on game day.
