Case Study: Football Foundation improves grass pitch inspection accuracy with Bolser’s AI PitchPower tool

Football Foundation improves grass coverage accuracy to 85% with Bolser

The Football Foundation faced a challenge in accurately and efficiently conducting grass pitch inspections. Their manual process, which relied on visual estimates from groundskeepers, resulted in 50% of reports being inaccurate, causing delays in funding and approvals. They partnered with digital agency Bolser to develop a solution using the PitchPower app to streamline this process.

Bolser designed and built a bespoke AI tool for the PitchPower app that automates pitch assessments. Using image analysis technology, the tool calculates grass, weed, and earth coverage from user-submitted photos with 85% accuracy. This solution dramatically improved report accuracy from 50% to 85%, significantly speeding up the approval process and ensuring clubs received funding faster.
