We support facility operators align their offer with the evolving needs of any local area - this involves using predictive models and machine learning techniques. We've now partnered with over 300 venues, helping to deliver greater returns from facility investment, timetable programming, pricing, operations and target marketing decisions and investment. On average we reduce attrition rates by 27% and cost of new member lead generation by over 30%. For more information please see:

"Belgravia Leisure is passionate about creating more active and healthy communities. It’s imperative that vital decisions made throughout our organisation are underpinned by robust and up to date evidence. We’re delighted to be working closely with ActiveXchange to ensure any facility we operate uses sector intelligence to drive local participation outcomes and social value impacts. The role ActiveXchange is playing in bringing the sector together to open up market and business intelligence options is very exciting!”
Nick Cox, CEO, Belgravia Leisure - Business intelligence partner (SportsEye Operator)
"Sport NSW partnered with ActiveXchange to undertake predictive analytics to forecast demand initially for nine sports in NSW. The result provides the sports with powerful data on their scope for growth, the geographical locations where the growth is most likely and the risk of participant drop-out mapped to specific clubs and locations. This proves that there is a significant opportunity for analysis of this nature to be undertaken throughout the sport and recreation sector in NSW to better tailor the offer to existing and potential participants."
Darren Simpson, CEO, Sport NSW (Association for 200+ sport organisations) - SportsEye State & Pro
Investment Planning Model & Report Service
This offline service is used by leisure planning consultants, local government and commercial operators to assess new build, franchise or contract options, or to test the viability of changing the facility mix, capacity or offer at your existing venue(s).
The predictive model identifies the optimal location and specification of venues, aligned with the profile of current and future demand. It is constantly checked against actual outcomes across the ActiveXchange eco-system, and is currently operating at 95%+ accuracy.
A full model overview, video and example report can be found here.
Report options available to order:
- The Current Venue (identifying unmet demand)
- New Site Scenario
- Optimal Site Location Scenario
- Blank Page Scenario (both location and facility mix still to be determined)
Each report includes:
- competition and venue catchment mapping
- member and visit projections
- target member acquisition/ conversion map
- segmentation profiling to support the marketing plan
- optimal facility capacity specification + programming and pricing
- sector performance benchmarking to test investment viability
- Social value impact (optional bolt-on - see service below).
Social Value Model & Report Service
The need for Social Value
There is a growing emphasis on the non-financial impacts community facilities are and can have. The Social Value Model:
1) Recognises community savings generated through physical activity
2) Ensuring funding is allocated to where it will make the greatest impact
3) Helps partners to engage a wider range of funding sources
Accurate
The Social Value Model risk profiles each individual facility user, and aligns their profile of activity at the site with a risk reduction. The monetary savings are then be summed at program, site and operator level and tracked on a rolling basis. Operators are provided a report and/or access to tracking dashboards
Consistent
The Social Value Model automatically processes member and attendance data already being collected by leisure management systems - this standardisation allows for anonymised benchmarking so outputs are consistent, relative and relevant.
Key indicators include mental health, dementia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bowel cancer, breast cancer, risk of drowning, education attainment and increased productivity
Credible
ActiveXchange has partnered with KPMG as Research Partner (following their work on the Value of Community Sport Infrastructure for Sport Australia) to refine a model with similar principles relevant for local leisure and aquatic centres. ActiveXchange has also partnered with the DataHub to support data processing and reporting.
Social Value Growth (SportsEye)
We don't ever stop at reporting. The SportsEye platform provides a range of business intelligence and direct access to the ActiveXchange Data Team in order to create site action plans aligned with specific Social Value growth targets. We make it easy to then communicate these plans with stakeholders
Sector support
The Social Value Model and Service is supported by a range of sector partners. In July 2019 the service was launched across the Aquatics and Recreation Victoria network.
Working with sector partners means outputs are designed to be affordable for operator partners
