The Tour of Britain has today appointed OnePlan as official event planning supplier for the 2022 race (Sunday 4 – 11 September).

OnePlan is a professional event planning tool enabling event site planners and stakeholders to collaborate in one platform.  OnePlan combines the characteristics of CAD with latest mapping technology in one streamlined tool, allowing for organisers to map, design, and manage events.

It will transform the planning of Tour of Britain stage starts and finishes, in doing so adding another layer to rider safety, as well as improving the experiences for spectators and host venues alike. This partnership will also see SweetSpot, the Tour of Britain organisers, showcase the product’s capabilities to key race stakeholders.

The Tour of Britain joins the likes of World Triathlon, FIBA (International Basketball Federation), and Silverstone in working with OnePlan.  In addition to networking opportunities at the Tour, OnePlan will develop a case study about the race’s use of the platform.
