International Federations are responsible for the integrity of their sport. From entry level to the olympics, IFs have the duty to manage and to monitor the everyday running of the world’s various sports disciplines. Each federation governs its particular sport, and ensures its promotion, development and welfare.
Given the scale of the work for such federations, a streamlined and centralised planning process is invaluable. Having to manage hundreds of national federations, and thousands of smaller teams without such a system is a mammoth task which. Until recently,this involved plan hopping, multiple site visits and valuable time and money.

Endless Benefits for Clients
The Operational benefits of OnePlan’s 3D+ tools are abundant.
The Analytics dashboard feature provides federations and overview of all events in their sport. Displaying infrastructure and equipment costs, space allocation and crowd sizes, federations can access every detail of every event in one place. This can be fed to national federations, ensuring every level is working off one central and streamlined plan.
Outdoor Events
For Outdoor venues and sporting events, planners and stakeholders can access the stadium journey before attending the event. With City+, a 3D walk through of the city and area close to the stadium is also available, beneficial not only to clients and attendees, but for the planning and management of security and traffic measures.
Whilst all event planners long for dry and sunny event days, the weather is not always on our side. OnePlan meets these challenges by enabling users to map and plan in any weather or lighting condition. Rain to shine, users can see how different weather will affect their event plan. With the ability to check signage against lighting levels, sponsors can carefully plan their signage design and placement. This feature is excellent for heavy rain or even flooding, allowing stadiums to prepare emergency or evacuation procedures whatever the weather.
Indoor Event Planning
OnePlan 3D+ excels in indoor environments too. With centimetre precise realities, federations can walk through their entire stadium as spectators would on event day. Every stadium level is accessible. Staffing operations can be carefully controlled and planned for every staircase, floor and entrance.
This is essential for the procurement of external food or merchandise vendors, providing clear navigation to their stand, an assessment of crowd queuing and holding areas occupancy, and their relation to the main event

Providing accurate and to scale views from their seating block, this will significantly aid sports fans in the process of buying one off or season tickets.

Offering a suite view, venues can provide clients with a 360, 3D view of their suite or box, including views to the stage or court.
With the latest world-first innovative 3D technology, OnePlan is paving the way for a better, more streamlined way to plan. Benefiting international federations on operational and commercial levels, this promises to be invaluable for the world of sporting event planning.
