INDUSTRY // SPORT
Sports tech know-how, stated honestly: the building blocks shipped, the logo pending.
No Wavect sports client yet, and we will not dress one up. The connection to sport is real anyway: both founders are athletes, we built startup products in the lifestyle and sport sector before Wavect, and what Wavect has shipped maps tightly onto sports products: sub-second proximity matching on moving phones, an AR engagement engine with over 1,000 concurrent users, and checkouts that survive the traffic spike a big drop creates, which is the same spike a ticket release creates.

What we build in this industry
Fan engagement & live event apps
Real-time features, AR layers, and gamified mechanics for products that live or die on event-day load.
Fitness & activity products
Mobile apps built around continuous location and motion, engineered against the background-processing limits of iOS and Android.
Ticketing-grade commerce
Checkout and payment flows benchmarked for spike traffic, because a ticket release that crashes is a refund queue with a hashtag.
What makes this industry hard
Event traffic is a wall, not a curve
Kickoff, ticket release, final whistle: sports traffic arrives in vertical spikes. Systems must be benchmarked against the spike, not the average.
Location features drain trust and battery
Sports products want continuous motion and location data; users want battery life and honest permission prompts. Balancing both is an engineering discipline we have already paid for.
Engagement mechanics age fast
Badges and leaderboards are table stakes. Retention comes from mechanics tuned to the sport's actual rhythm of seasons, fixtures, and rivalries, which is product work before it is code.
Where our experience actually comes from
Where this know-how actually comes from, named and checkable:
The personal part first, because in sports products it matters. Kevin, our managing director, has trained calisthenics since 2015 (currently working toward a held one-arm handstand), does coached strength training, and dances salsa. Christof comes from football and dance. Before Wavect, we built startup products in the lifestyle and sport sector. We are the target group of most sports products, which keeps the product judgement honest.
Offlinery is sub-second, real-time proximity matching on iOS and Android, engineered against both OSes killing background location. Fitness tracking, run-club features, and on-site event experiences depend on exactly this capability.
LivLive is an AR engagement engine that held 1,000+ concurrent users and a checkout benchmarked against hours-long traffic peaks. Drop-day spikes and ticket-release spikes are the same load profile: flat baseline, sudden wall of users, real money in the transaction.
Soundromeda is gamification engineering: progression, reward loops, and the QA discipline to make a playful product robust.
What we have not done: wearable firmware, broadcast systems, or sports-data analytics platforms. If your product’s core risk is there, say so early and we will be straight about the fit.
