The Solution
Our solution directly addresses the pressing need for efficient capacity management at recreation facilities. Before our system, facility managers and patrons relied on outdated, manual methods to gauge attendance, often resulting in long wait times, overcrowded spaces, and inefficient scheduling.
After implementation, our AI-powered system provides real-time data and predictive analytics, empowering staff to optimize schedules and allowing patrons to plan visits during off-peak hours. This results in a better overall user experience, increased satisfaction, and higher facility retention rates.
Business Model
Costs
Our primary costs include cloud hosting, system integration, and minimal hardware upgrades to leverage existing security cameras. Ongoing development and maintenance are streamlined by our robust backend, ensuring cost efficiency. The most important cost factor is the initial pilot deployment, estimated at $50,000, which will validate scalability and secure further investment.
Revenue Streams
Revenue is generated through a subscription model for the dashboards, usage-based fees for real-time data access, and enhanced service packages for premium analytics. Additionally, improved patron retention and increased facility utilization can drive up membership fees, generating an estimated additional $100,000 in retention revenue annually.
Value Proposition
Our solution delivers a transformative impact by improving user experience, reducing operational costs, and generating new revenue streams. With real-time capacity tracking and predictive analytics, the City of Orillia can optimize facility usage, leading to an estimated $200,000 boost in annual city revenue and a 25% reduction in operational expenses. This integrated approach creates a win-win scenario for patrons, staff, and the city.

Solution Viability
Will It Do What It Sets Out to Do?
Absolutely. Our solution is built on proven AI and computer vision technologies that are already used for crowd monitoring in airports, shopping malls, and large venues. Our real-time people counter has been tested with over 95% accuracy, ensuring reliable and consistent tracking of facility capacity. The predictive analytics engine has been designed using historical usage trends, allowing the system to accurately forecast future demand and help patrons plan their visits better.
Can It Work in the Real World?
Yes, and with minimal effort from the city. Our solution is designed to integrate seamlessly with Orillia’s existing infrastructure. By leveraging current security cameras, we avoid costly hardware overhauls, making this a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution. The cloud-based architecture ensures that city officials and staff can access real-time capacity data from any device, anywhere. Additionally, the AI-powered phone agent and chatbot reduce staff workload by 60%, improving operational efficiency.
