NHL’s New Jersey Devils Join Smartabase Client Roster, Team Will Use the Athlete Management System to Manage Player Data

The New Jersey Devils have entrusted Smartabase’s performance and analytic platform to serve as the franchise’s athlete management system.

Formerly known as Fusion Sport, Smartabase utilizes software that will allow the Devils to integrate and consolidate data from various third parties to better manage player workloads and better examine player screening and speed-based training. Smartabase’s tracking and analytic results will be studied in aggregate and turned into daily workload and readiness reports that can be reviewed by coaches and team trainers to aid player performance and injury surveillance.

Smartabase’s software has also been utilized by national sporting federations, Olympic committees and other NHL teams such as the Buffalo Sabres and Los Angeles Kings. The UFC Performance Institute adopted the Smartabase platform, as well, allowing MMA fighters to access and view their own data through the Smartabase Athlete App.

Founded in Brisbane, Australia in 2003, Smartabase is also being deployed for military research and in the public and health care fields. The company expects a 100% increase in annual revenue in 2022, and some of its past investors include Australian NBA player Matthew Dellavedova and Sydney-based Equity Venture Partners, who were part of a $5.5 million investment round in 2020.

Smartabase also released a Human Performance Optimization Tech Stack in May, a market report of performance technologies that included dividing more than 300 tech training products into categories.
