Planning, approval, race day and records in one place
Road cycling events are complex, high-stakes operations running across public spaces, yet most organisers still rely on spreadsheets, paper lists and WhatsApp groups. Our Norway-based client faced just these challenges with time lost in coordination, scattered authority documents blocking approval requirements and no live view for control and field teams on race day. The most glaring gap was that all this could put rider safety at risk.
LocusBase powered by TIQRI was built to replace this patchwork of tools with a single source of truth for operational clarity and rider safety.
What is LocusBase
LocusBase is a race operations platform built with safety at its core and covering the full lifecycle of a road cycling event. The foundation is a map-driven planning environment where the entire race takes shape from first draft of the route through regulatory readiness, live operations on race day and the post-race archive that stands up when authorities or insurers come asking.
Every role on the event be it race director, club administrator, chief marshal, field marshal or sign crew all work from the same platform with one version of the truth.
Built around how the race actually moves
Plan Build the race on the road itself
Routes, signs, marshal posts and zones are placed on the actual course map, and not described in a document.
Multi-stage races are configured with full route layouts and stage breakdowns. People are assigned to posts before the event opens. Club catalogues keep signs, marshal types and zones consistent across every race the club runs.
Get ReadyConfirm readiness before the start
Road-use approval from authorities are an important legal requirement in Norway.
LocusBase has a readiness checklist with what is confirmed and what still blocks the race. Planning can only be marked complete when blockers are cleared and the operational race view opens only after. Race directors go to the start line knowing the race is ready.
RaceLive feed for control room and course
Race control has live views of course map, personnel and alerts. Sign crews confirm each placement before moving on. Field teams use our mobile app for briefing, navigation to post, check-in and incident reporting with images and GPS.
When something happens on the course it is raised, acknowledged and tracked to resolution. The app also works offline and syncs when signal returns.
Proof Records that hold up after
LocusBase builds the post-race archive through the event itself instead of being reconstructed from notes afterwards. Every check-in, incident and sign placement is timestamped and searchable. This always-on history of planning and field actions simplifies future decision making and details are accessible when authorities ask.
Safer operations on the day with stronger records when it matters after.
Tech for high-stakes sports
LocusBase made its debut at the Norwegian Youth Road Cycling Championships, 'Ungdoms-NM' in Skien in August 2026 proving the platforms success.
The challenge LocusBase addresses is not unique to cycling. Any sport that moves across public infrastructure with field teams to coordinate, authorities to satisfy and a record to maintain faces similar fragmentation. LocusBase brings it all into one place for cleaner planning, confident execution and safety that doesn't depend on whoever happens to be standing in the right place.
LocusBase powered by TIQRI is architected to scale and flex with the reality of the most complex events of any sport. It is built for wherever the road goes next.

LOCUSBASE
LocusBase already had a system for sign tracking, but we wanted to build something bigger, a complete safety platform for cycling races, bringing sign tracking, marshal logging and vehicle tracking together in one GPS-verified solution.
In TIQRI we found a partner who understood both the system and the sport from our very first meeting. Kim and Alexander met us with an enthusiasm we noticed immediately, and we have worked with skilled professionals every step of the way since. They have delivered stable code, strong security and a well-considered server architecture, along with a genuine understanding of what we set out to build.
On 15 August 2026 we ran our first race with the full system live, tracking vehicles, marshals and signs in real time. Without TIQRI we would not be where we are today. We are looking forward to what comes next.
