33. "We are able to keep our match day transport map live and current. We are very pleased with Dotted Eyes as the work they have done has been absolutely brilliant. It has been a real help to us. Without this solution we would have had to use static PDFs which would have been a headache to update. The solution was cost effective, deployed very quickly and exceeded expectations. There is also the added advantage that people visiting the site can play with the map interactively and compare transport options to see what will suit them best.“ Lee Preece – Aston Villa FC Aston Villa Football Club
