The simple, lightweight, portable, and automated timing device and software is revolutionising the mass participation sports industry and through innovative technology it is enhancing the sporting experience for athletes, spectators, sponsors and event staff.

ONETIME solves the biggest problem in the market, where currently to successfully manage a timed mass sporting event, the coordinator must work with multiple companies who meet a singular need for the event, either timing services, or hardware, or software or online registrations and then online results.

ONETIME’s innovative integrated service provides all of these and uses the world’s first low-cost, single use remotely operated timing hardware.
