HARARE football giants, Caps United have gone a gear up in improving their digital presence today in Harare as they launched a new web system developed by Advanced Innovation (Pvt) Ltd who will also maintain their website for the next five years in a deal worth over US$1 million.

Many might wonder why this writer preferred to call it a web system to web site. The system is one of the best in Zimbabwe and Africa at large as its features correlate with those of the European Clubs as it is capable of managing player statistics across the board making it easy to rank a player with ease.

Mr Paul Mlilo, Advanced Innovation Chief Executive Officer who explained the functions and features of the website said, “This system is not a web site but a complete web system that merges player statistics such as passes completed, minutes played, goals scored among others, just like in the English Premier League.”

The system is not just there for fun but part of the Caps United thrust to take football as serious business at commercial level as it has a feature which allows its partners to take their products to the fans.

This will be easy to reach many of them as the same system comes with a portal that allows the fans to register themselves as official Caps United supporters.

“We have created a feature called the Supporter Account on the Caps United Web System that allows partners to market their products as well as a feature called company micro site where companies in partnership with Caps United market their products blended with Caps United colours”, said Mr Mlilo.

One critical feature that Caps United fans and any other visitor to the web will like and enjoy is security as it provides end to end encryption and all the provided information cannot be accessed by anyone even the web host, a feature synonymous with social media platforms such as Facebook and Whatsapp.

“We can guarantee you that all information is end to end encrypted just like your Whatsapp and Facebook messages, only the intended receiver of the details that one provides have access to it and not even the Caps United Administration will have access to the information”, Mr Mlilo assured the fans.

The system is already functional and most of the information such as the 2021 Chibuku Super Cup Fixtures, Club history and achievements have already been uploaded except for the 2021 registered squad which will be uploaded tommorrow afternoon.

Caps United used to have a web site which was last updated in 2018 so this one becomes the official site replacing the old one.

This new system allows more traffic flow as it integrates all content from different media houses about Caps United into one place.

“This site allows more traffic and anything written about United is automatically brought to the system for easy access to the fans and the web address is www.capsutd.com,” said Mr Raymond Gonte, the Caps United FC Commercial and Media Head.
