Platform features

Built around how leagues actually work

From the moment a fixture is created to the moment an official is paid, Helond handles every step — automatically, with full conflict awareness.

Conflict detection

Know about problems before they happen

Helond checks every assignment against club affiliations, the full schedule, and compliance records — automatically, in real time.

Assignments

Club conflict & scheduling detection

Three types of conflict, three distinct chips. Club conflicts (black), double-bookings (red), and compliance warnings (amber) all appear inline in the assignment panel so you never accidentally put the wrong person on the wrong fixture.

  • Club affiliation stored per official — flagged on assignment
  • Real-time double-booking detection across all leagues
  • Cert and vetting warnings shown alongside scheduling conflicts
  • Live conflict map updates as you assign — no page refresh

Payments

Every payment mode your league already uses

Cash on the sideline, league bank transfers, or direct Revolut / Venmo / Zelle links — Helond wraps a digital workflow around all of them. Helond never touches the money.

Payments · Payment link mode

Deep-link to any official's payment app

Officials save their Revolut tag, Venmo handle, Zelle contact, or IBAN in their profile. When a payment is requested, the team manager or league admin receives a direct link straight to that official's account — no middleman.

  • Revolut, Venmo, Zelle and bank transfer supported
  • One payment record per official per fixture
  • Separate fee per slot — AR1 and AR2 can earn different amounts
  • Officials see full season earnings in their profile

Cash games, digitally tracked

Most leagues still pay cash on the sideline. Helond doesn't replace that — it wraps a digital obligation record around it. Every game has a pre-game notice, a commitment, and a post-game confirmation. No more "I never got paid" disputes.

  • Payment obligation sent before kick-off — not after
  • One tap to upgrade cash to a digital payment link
  • Officials confirm receipt — creates a timestamped record
  • Admin flagged automatically for any unresolved payments

How it works

1
24 – 48 hours before kick-off

Payment obligation sent

The team manager (or league admin) receives an automated notification listing the official, the fixture, and the exact amount owed.

Pay now digitally

Opens Revolut / Venmo link

I'll pay cash

Logs a commitment record

2
Before kick-off

Reminder if no response

If the manager hasn't responded 1 hour before kick-off, a second reminder fires. League admin is looped in if still silent at match time.

3
After the final whistle

Official confirms receipt

The official receives a single-question notification: "Did you receive your match fee today?" One tap to confirm — or flag a problem.

Marks as paid

✗ Not received

Audit trail logged

Payment marked as paid with timestamps from both sides. Season earnings updated. No spreadsheet, no chasing, no disputes.
