AI-Powered Padel Performance Analytics
Tricension partnered with PadelPlay to build a real-time, IoT- and AI-powered platform delivering padel performance analytics, coaching insights, and player engagement.
PadelPlay x Tricension: Powering Padel Performance with Real-Time Analytics
The Vision
Padel is one of Europe’s fastest-growing sports, but until recently, data-driven performance tools were reserved for elite athletes, leaving everyday players without meaningful feedback. PadelPlay set out to change that. Their goal: make professional-grade insights accessible to all, using smart sensors, mobile apps, and AI to track every aspect of a match.
They needed a strategic technology partner to bring this bold idea to life and do it fast enough to capture a booming market.
The Challenge
PadelPlay needed to launch an end-to-end performance tracking solution that blended hardware innovation, mobile-first design, and AI-driven insights—all within an aggressive timeline. The product had to be accurate, engaging, and scalable, while also intuitive enough for everyday users.
Capturing data like shot type, court positioning, and rally dynamics from a fast-paced game required seamless IoT integration and machine learning models fine-tuned to padel-specific movements.
Our Solution
Tricension assembled a multidisciplinary agile team to tackle the challenge from every angle; spanning hardware integration, software development, AI engineering, and UX design. Together, we built a robust IoT-powered platform that delivers real-time performance analytics and player engagement features, all from the palm of a user's hand.
