The 5 km sports hub

Legacy facilities clustering around aXion

The brochure positions aXion as the anchor for an existing, deep cluster of sporting facilities within a 5 km radius. Reach extends to Tshwane, Mogale City, Vereeniging, Nigel and Delmas. Competitive presence is a feature — it proves the demand and supplies the spillover for a destination venue.

“I don't need cash here.”

Zones enabled
  • Axion Pay at Food Court, Yard 09, Fuel Station
  • Court booking — 5-a-side pitches & Padel
  • Wallet module — Axion Credits (pre-loadable)
  • Android POS terminals · same NFC tap as gate
User experience

“Leave your wallet in the locker.” Parents load R200 to their child's profile for the day. Loyalty points show up immediately in the app, every Rand spent.

Business valueHigher Spend / Capita
Phase 3 · +6 Months

The Digital Twin

Telemetry · Smart Zones · Gamification

“The park tracks my laps.”

Smart zones
  • BLE (GATT) listeners — Advanced & Junior Pump Track, Cycle Start
  • Live leaderboards at Play Pods & gathering areas
  • “Connect to Garmin / Strava” + Pair Axion Ring
  • Activity schema ingests heart-rate & speed
User experience

King of the Hill goes live — ride the pump track, lap time appears on the big screen while you grab a drink. The cross-pollination: “You burned 600 calories — here's 10% off a protein meal.”

Business valueEngagement · Retention
Phase 4 · +12 Months

The AI Brain

Predictive · Hyper-personal

“The park knows what I need.”

System-wide intelligence
  • Operational AI — gate vs spend correlation
  • Coaching AI — pace degradation insights
  • Predictive maintenance across assets
  • Dynamic pricing on courts & sessions
Sample insight

“Families entering 9–10 AM spend 40% more if the Splash Park is active.” Auto-schedule lifeguards accordingly. “Your lap times degrade after 20 min — try interval training.”

08Ecosystem & Experience

aXion is the operating system. Gym brands, coaches, trainers and equipment partners run on top — every member visit, every coached session, every kilometre on the pump track flows through the platform with the visitor's consent.

The platform & the partners

aXion-Tec doesn't compete with operators — it makes them better. TechnoGym kit at the anchor gym, partner coaches paid per session, padel pros running clinics, MTB academies on the trails, MissFit running boutique studios. Each partner gets footfall, telemetry on their members and a share of the on-site spend. The platform takes a slice, the partner keeps the relationship.

01
Digital Walls
Interactive projection on climbing wall, padel courts & pump track gates. Live leaderboards, route challenges, AR coaching overlays.
02
AI Coaching
Phase 4 — the app pairs to a Garmin / Apple Watch / Axion Ring and proposes interval training, recovery menus and the best time slot.
03
Olympic Pump Tracks
Junior & advanced configurations engineered to international competition spec. BLE-timed laps drive the King-of-the-Hill economy.
04
Amphitheatre · 2,950 m²
Concerts, league finals, weekend markets. The off-peak revenue lever — ticketed events drive 20–30% of annual visits at well-run parks.
05
TechnoGym Anchor
World-class kit at the anchor gym, networked to the user's Active Profile. Performance & targets flow back into AI coaching.
06
Padel · 6 Courts
South Africa's fastest-growing racquet sport. Court booking via aXion Pay, line-call AI & ladder leagues.
07
Walk · Run · MTB
Hero outdoor assets — 32,500 walking visits/month, 5,750 MTB. Trail telemetry feeds the data lake.
08
Food & Entertainment
Restaurant, licensed venue, food court — the dwell economy. F&B is the visit-frequency multiplier, not a side-show.

09Operating Best Practice

Benchmarks distilled from the global multi-sport & leisure park industry. Use these as the goalposts the operation should be steered against — anything redlining off target needs intervention.

10Scale Beyond Benoni

The numbers above value the Morehill site only — operating revenue from members, visitors, F&B retail, sports retail and digital sales. The platform briefing identifies three upside layers the operating model doesn't capture. Treat the headline returns as the floor, not the ceiling.

Pillar A · Open Standards

Universal Identity & Access

FIDO2 & W3C Verifiable Credentials. A member's Active Profile travels — same credential opens Benoni today, a partner park in Cape Town tomorrow. Memberships are digital assets in the user's wallet, verified by edge readers in milliseconds.

Standard · FIDO2 · W3C VC
Pillar B · Device Agnostic

Bring Your Own Device

Bluetooth 5 (GATT) + Matter. Garmin, Apple Watch, the aXion Smart Ring — the platform consumes data, it doesn't dictate hardware. All telemetry normalised into one schema. The data lake is AI-ready by construction.

Standard · BLE 5 · Matter
Pillar C · Intelligence

AI-Driven Personalisation

Standardised inputs (heart rate, speed, frequency, spend) feed an AI engine that predicts peak usage for operators and proposes hyper-personal coaching to users. The platform's IQ compounds every visit.

Standard · Standardised data models

Three revenue layers not in the headline numbers

Each is additive to the Y3 figures shown above. The model deliberately holds them back because they require Y2+ proof-points to underwrite confidently — but they are the real ceiling.

Layer 1 · Multi-Tenant SaaS
aXion-Tec as a product for other parks

Once proven at Morehill, each future sports park onboards as a tenant. A single member ID grants network access; the platform earns per-site license + per-transaction fees. Each additional tenant adds incremental revenue at ~70% margin.

+5 tenants by Y5 → potential R 30–60M ARR
Layer 2 · Data as an Asset
Aggregate, anonymised activity dataset

Cross-venue standardised sports data — performance, frequency, demographics — is uniquely valuable to health insurers (risk-rated premiums), medical researchers (longitudinal cohort studies), sports brands (real-world product telemetry). Sold under opt-in consent, never raw PII.

Year 3 pilot → Year 4 R 5–15M revenue line
Layer 3 · Future-Proofed APIs
The platform inherits the next decade

AR navigation glasses on the trails, biometric-bound payments, agentic coaching, league-wide leaderboards — open APIs mean each new layer plugs in without a re-build. The architecture is the moat.

across 3 years.

Returns are framed against operating profit only — revenue from members, visitors, F&B retail, sports retail and digital sales, net of all operating costs (CoS, contractors, opex, wages, tax). Development capital is out of scope — the park is treated as built. Investor return is your stake's share of distributed profit after tax.

Model logic & provenance

Imported from PP Model.xlsx. Revenue lines: members, visitors, F&B retail, sports retail (clothing & equipment), digital sales. Y1 ramps from 10%→90% utilisation; Y2 holds 95% at +6%; Y3 hits 100% at compounded growth. Costs split between Cost of Sales (variable), Contractors (operational), Opex (fixed) and Wages. Tax flat 30% for prudence. Development capital is out of scope — the park is treated as built; only operating economics are modelled. Vision documents in the parent folder are draft — open to refinement.

Architecture

Single-page app, no build step. Charts via Chart.js. Hosted on Cloudflare Pages with the wrangler CLI. Scenarios are encoded in the URL fragment — copy & send to share a specific projection. Future: persistence layer on Cloudflare D1 + Workers for saved scenarios and team comments.

Caveats & contacts

Contractor & opex baselines are operating estimates and should be refined against actual quotes during the FGL phase. Member counts assume 11.4% of the 146k catchment households at full ramp. Numbers are projections, not commitments.
