SportSoft

What SportSoft does

SportSoft, spol. s r.o. is a Czech private limited company headquartered in Vimperk that provides professional sports timing and event-management services, with 29 years of operational experience (formal entity established 2011). The company's core product is a chip-based timing and results management platform covering live results streaming, multi-event series rankings, athlete registration, payment processing, and live video broadcast, serving primarily cycling disciplines (MTB, road, cyclocross, enduro, triathlon) and other sports including running, cross-country skiing, downhill, inline, and 24-hour races. SportSoft has timed over 5,000 races and registered more than 1,000,000 athletes in its system, with flagship customers including the Czech Cycling Federation (Český svaz cyklistiky), the HSF SYSTEM CUP cyclocross series, the TOI TOI CUP, and the Šumavský pohár MTB. The company also operates the official Czech Cycling Federation registration portal (cycling.sportsoft.cz), embedding its technology into the national federation's event infrastructure.

The business model is event-driven and project-based: revenue is generated primarily through per-event transaction fees for chip timing, live results, and results management, with pricing quoted based on athlete count, intermediate timing points, and add-on services (LED screens, SMS/email results, bib production, live streaming). Athlete registration and payment processing are bundled with timing services at no incremental cost, functioning as a customer-acquisition and lock-in tool for event organizers rather than a stand-alone revenue line. Go-to-market is direct, with event organizers and federations requesting quotes through the sportsoft.cz website, and commercial relationships concentrated in Czech Republic and Slovakia under long-term partnerships with recurring annual series. The company is lean (1-10 employees), privately held with no institutional investors or disclosed funding, and has recently begun adopting AI tools internally for project management, business analysis, development, and QA workflows in conjunction with sister company CAPSBOLD.

Broad incumbents

• MYLAPS: Global leader in sports timing hardware and software, offering chip timing, transponder systems, and results platforms across dozens of sports including cycling, running, and motorsports. Comparable to SportSoft as a direct functional competitor but with much broader scale, international footprint, and hardware depth.
• ipico: RFID timing hardware and event solutions provider for mass participation sports including running and cycling globally. Comparable to SportSoft in underlying chip-based timing technology, but with broader international reach and a more hardware-led business model.

Direct peers

• ChampionChip: Chip timing technology and event services company widely used for running, cycling, and triathlon events across Europe. Comparable to SportSoft as a chip timing-first provider serving similar cycling and endurance sport event organizers.
• ATTAC: Sports timing solutions provider offering scoring, registration, and results software for endurance and multisport events. Comparable to SportSoft as a smaller, software-led timing specialist competing for organizer contracts in the European endurance event market.
• Microgate: Italian timing technology company providing chip timing systems, photofinish, and results management for cycling, running, skiing, and motorsports. Comparable to SportSoft as a European timing specialist serving similar sports and federation customers.
• SPORTident: German timing system provider best known for orienteering but expanding into road cycling, MTB, and running events with chip-based timing and event software. Comparable to SportSoft as a specialized European sports timing vendor targeting similar race organizer customers.
• Race Result: German-headquartered provider of sports timing systems, scoring software, and event management platforms widely used for running, cycling, and triathlon events across Europe. Closest direct peer to SportSoft given similar full-stack timing-plus-results-plus-registration offering and strong European federation footprint.

Emerging players

• RTS (Race Timing Solutions): Emerging European timing service provider focused on running, cycling, and triathlon events with an integrated registration, timing, and live results platform. Comparable to SportSoft as a direct competitor for regional race organizers with similar full-stack ambitions but smaller scale.

Regional players

• AB Sport Timing: UK-based sports timing and results services provider for running, cycling, and triathlon events. Comparable to SportSoft in regional service-bureau model but operating in a different geography (UK) without SportSoft's federation-scale anchor relationships.
• Datasport: Swiss and Austrian sports timing and registration service provider for cycling, running, and winter sports events. Comparable to SportSoft in service model (timing plus registration plus results) and customer base, but operating primarily in DACH rather than Czech/Slovak markets.
