What Active8 Software does

Active8 Software is a US-based, private software company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Lewisville, Texas, that built a purpose-built point-of-sale (POS) software solution designed around the unique operating processes of trampoline parks. The company is small, with a headcount in the 11-50 range, and was led by founder Phillip Howell and general manager Greg Spittle. Its functional scope was narrow: a single-vertical POS product for an entertainment sub-segment (trampoline parks) rather than a general-purpose retail POS. The platform handled in-venue transactions, ticketing-adjacent workflows, and operational tasks specific to jump parks, and was deployed at multi-venue operators such as Activeon (70+ venues). No proprietary technology stack, patents, API surface, integrations, or AI capabilities are disclosed in the source data, and the company's website (active8software.com) currently redirects to a ROLLER waiver error page — a strong signal that the standalone Active8 product has been deprecated, migrated, or absorbed into the larger ROLLER venue management platform.

On the commercial model, no pricing structure, contract terms, revenue figures, or funding history are disclosed. The company appears to have operated on a standard B2B SaaS-style model selling POS software to trampoline park operators, with go-to-market concentrated in a single US sub-vertical. Given the absence of disclosed funding, the small employee base, the niche addressable market, and the apparent migration of the product footprint to ROLLER, Active8's current operating status as an independent, going-concern software vendor is uncertain, and the most plausible reading of the evidence is a wind-down, acquisition, or technology migration rather than active independent growth.

Broad incumbents

• SpotOn: SpotOn is a payments-led POS and business software platform serving restaurants and entertainment venues. It overlaps with Active8 at the POS/payments layer and represents a larger, better-capitalized competitor that could move into niche attraction POS.
• Mindbody: Mindbody is a large, broad incumbent SaaS platform for wellness, beauty, and fitness operators with booking, payments, and POS modules. It is comparable in business model (operator SaaS with embedded payments) and could expand down-market into trampoline-adjacent attractions, pressuring niche players like Active8.
• Lightspeed Commerce: Lightspeed is a broad POS and commerce platform with verticals including hospitality and leisure. While not purpose-built for trampoline parks, it competes for the same operator POS budget and offers a credible alternative when customers trade up or trade down.

Regional players

• Yoco: Yoco is a payments and POS provider for small businesses. While geographically focused on South Africa and not a direct US competitor, it is comparable as a lightweight POS/Payments offering that small-format entertainment operators could substitute for a vertical specialist.

Direct peers

• ClubReady: ClubReady is a management and POS platform for fitness, wellness, and small-format leisure operators. While Active8 is more attraction-focused, ClubReady is the closest analog in business model and operator-SaaS delivery for boutique recreation businesses.
• Jonas Chorum: Jonas Chorum delivers POS and operations software for leisure, recreation, and entertainment operators including attractions and clubs. Its product footprint and target verticals overlap closely with Active8's POS-for-trampoline-parks offering.
• CenterEdge Software: CenterEdge provides POS, ticketing, and facility management software purpose-built for family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, and amusement venues. It competes head-to-head with Active8 for the same operator customer base and similar point-of-sale and admissions workflows.
• Gateway Ticketing Systems: Gateway provides ticketing, admission, and POS solutions for attractions, museums, and entertainment venues. It is a direct competitor for the back-office and admissions functions Active8 performs for trampoline park operators.
• ROLLER: ROLLER is the dominant full-stack attraction management platform (ticketing, POS, waivers, CRM, multi-venue HQ) purpose-built for the same family of venues Active8 targets, including trampoline parks. The data even suggests Active8's own domain now resolves to a ROLLER waiver page, underscoring how directly they compete and overlap.

Emerging players

• PerfectMind: PerfectMind offers membership, booking, and POS software for recreation, fitness, and community-based activity operators. It is comparable as an operator-management platform that, like Active8, targets small-to-mid leisure venues with bundled operations software.
