Stats LLC has acquired athlete tracking and sports performance analytics company, Prozone, expanding its geographic reach and sports coverage.

The new acquisition also adds advanced and complementary technologies to Stats suite of tracking and analytics products.

Prozone, which extends to Europe, China, Australia, and Africa, tracks athlete performance to deliver insights, enabling coaches and front-office personnel to make more informed decisions. It also maintains a database of over 100,000 players and its technology captures proprietary data from over 12,000 sporting events a year.

The company’s suite of software products combine data analytics and video tracking to generate post-match analyses, trend analyses, opposition scouting reports, and other valuable information.

Gary Walrath, CEO of Stats, said: “We are excited to combine Prozone’s best-in-market analytics products for football and rugby with Stats’ media expertise and unrivaled real-time data.

“We look forward to bringing Prozone’s strong product suite to all corners of the globe.”

The deal marks the third acquisition in three months for Stats, which since February has acquired Prozone, The Sports Network and Automated Insights.

Thomas Schmider, CEO of Prozone, commented: “Our knowledge and experience in performance analysis for football, rugby, hockey, and handball is a fantastic complement to Stats’ expertise in NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, college football, college basketball, and soccer.”

“Together through our combined global sales network, we can deliver complementary products to a broader range of customers all over the world.”
