In the fast-paced world of sports competitions, precision and speed in time management are crucial. Whether it's a running race, a cycling event, a ski race, or any timed competition, efficient collection of start data can make all the difference. That's exactly where "Invia Partenze" comes in — a simple yet powerful app designed to streamline the process of recording and sending bib numbers at the moment of the start.

"Invia Partenze" was built with a clear goal: to give timekeepers, race officials, or support staff an intuitive tool for recording bib numbers at the start and instantly sending them to a remote server. Picture having hundreds of athletes ready to go: with this app, you can quickly enter their bib numbers and know that the data is transmitted in real time, linked to a precise "start" timestamp for that group or individual.

Let's take a closer look at what makes "Invia Partenze" an indispensable tool:

Simple, Intuitive User Interface. The app was designed to be easy to use, even in hectic situations. With just a few fields to fill in and a large input area for bib numbers, data entry is fast and smooth.

Flexible Bib Number Handling. You can enter one or several bib numbers at once. The app recognizes numbers separated by spaces, hyphens, commas, or even line breaks, giving you full freedom in how you enter data.

Automatic, Precise Timestamping. Every batch of bib numbers sent is automatically tagged with a precise timestamp, recording the exact moment of transmission down to tenths and hundredths of a second. This guarantees accurate start times for every athlete in that "batch."

Customizable Race ID and Detection Point ID. You can specify a Race ID (e.g., "CrossCountryRace2025") and a Detection Point ID (e.g., "1" for the start) to categorize your submissions. These values are saved by the app and automatically reloaded the next time it starts, saving you valuable time.

Real-Time Status Log. A dedicated area (Txt_log) gives you immediate feedback on the status of every submission. You'll know right away whether a bib number was successfully transmitted or whether there was a problem.

Smart Failure Handling (Offline-Proof). This is one of the most important features. If sending a bib number to the server fails — due to lack of internet connection or a temporary server issue, for example — the app doesn't lose the data! The bib number and its details are automatically stored in a "failed submissions" list within the app.

"Retry Failed Submissions" Feature. With a dedicated button, you can attempt to resend all previously untransmitted bib numbers. These resubmissions carry a new timestamp, reflecting the actual moment of the retry. The list updates in real time as submissions complete successfully.

Data Persistence. All settings (Race ID, Detection Point ID) and the list of failed bib numbers are saved on the device. So even if you close the app or restart your phone, everything will be exactly as you left it, ready for you to keep working.

Screen Timeout Prevention. While in use, the app prevents the device screen from turning off automatically, ensuring the screen is always at hand when you need it.

Internet Connection Check. Before attempting any submission, the app checks for an available internet connection, warning you if there isn't one and preventing pointless attempts.

"Invia Partenze" was developed with a specific focus on flexibility and integration:

Wiclax Compatibility. The format of the data sent is compatible with Wiclax timing software, widely used in the world of sports events. This makes the app an ideal tool for integrating and verifying starts within your existing race-management ecosystem.

Verification of Small-Group Starts. While it can handle large volumes of bib numbers, the app is particularly well-suited for verifying starts of small groups of athletes. This is useful in situations such as:

Android 7 Compatibility. No need for the latest devices — minimum required version is Android 7+.

"Invia Partenze" is the ideal tool for:

In a field where every fraction of a second counts, having reliable tools is essential. "Invia Partenze" gives you the peace of mind that your race's essential data is collected and transmitted with precision, and that no bib number will ever be lost — even in the event of connection problems. Simplify your time management and focus on what really matters: the race!
