Software for major sport events

Who we are

Kosmogo was founded in 2012 by Stephan Toth, after ten years building software for international sport events inside HBS, the host broadcaster of the FIFA World Cup. Since then Kosmogo has designed and delivered the systems behind every FIFA tournament, the Rugby World Cup, Roland-Garros, the US Open, the World Athletics Championships and more.

Kosmogo works hand in hand with Ekohe, a software company with teams in Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris and Vancouver. Kosmogo brings the knowledge of how an event works and what it needs; Ekohe brings the engineering capacity to build it fast and keep it running. The same people, event after event.

What we build

Web applications that run the operations of an event, sharing one database per event so that every team works on the same information.

Broadcaster booking

Broadcasters order the services they need for the tournament: rate card, orders, resources, accreditation, space plans, invoicing. An online portal lets them book and follow their orders themselves.

Workforce planning

Positions, recruitment, assignments, training and travel for a crew of thousands, from the first contact to the last flight home.

Travel and accommodation

Hotels, rooms, contracts and budgets, flights, transfers and daily movements for every person on site.

HR and payroll

Contracts, salaries, expenses and uniforms for the event workforce.

Production scheduling

Activities, key timings and resources for every match day and every venue.

Anything the event needs

Master data shared across applications, single sign-on, reporting, and the custom tools that appear when a real need does. A simple request can be in production the same day.

We take responsibility end to end: servers, development, deployment, and support during the event itself. Our systems have run through every event without downtime.
