Viraco ONE — platform
ONE PLATFORM,
YOUR WHOLE VENUE
Viraco ONE started with the simulators. Today it also runs the lighting, the climate control, the music, the alarm and the energy in our venues — plus the till, the web shop, the bookings, the lap times, the figures for the accountant and the staff hours.

The misconception
“Isn’t that the thing that pushes content to the sims?”
That is what it was in 2021. The simulators were the starting point, not the limit. A simcenter is a building with lights, heating, music, an alarm, a till, a calendar, a set of books, staff and customers who came for an experience. Those parts lived in as many separate apps, none of which knew about the others. Viraco ONE has taken them over one by one.

What the platform does
From the lights to the final bill
Every block below runs in our own venues today, on the same platform, with the same permissions and the same audit trail.
01Building
Building automation
Sockets, appliances and PCs hang off the platform. Whatever needs to be on comes on with that day’s schedule; whatever gets forgotten switches itself off after closing time.
Switching and metering per device
Opening and closing schedule per venue
Wake and shut down PCs remotely
Network and wifi in the same overview
02Lighting
Lighting by zone
The lighting is split into zones — reception, sim hall, lounge, restrooms. Each zone follows the day’s schedule and can be adjusted with one tap from the console behind the bar.
Zones instead of individual switches
Follows opening and closing automatically
Override by hand without breaking the schedule
Also remotely, when nobody is in
03Music
Music control
The music in the hall runs through the platform, not through the phone of whoever happens to be on shift — that one goes home halfway through the evening.
Playlist and volume per zone
Starts with the opening scene
Stops at closing time
One account for the business
04Climate
Climate control
Air conditioning and heating follow the day’s occupancy instead of the mood of whoever walks in first. Running time is counted, so you can see what a hot week actually costs.
Setpoints per room
Follows opening hours and bookings
Running time per unit
No units running all night
05Energy
Energy
The platform knows the day-ahead electricity prices and measures consumption per circuit. Heavy consumers can switch on that, rather than on habit.
Day-ahead prices from EPEX and ENTSO-E
Converted through your own energy contract
Control on price and on peak load
History per venue
06Scenes
Scenes & comfort
A scene is a sequence of actions behind a single button: open, close, race mode, cleaning. What used to be a walk around the building is now one tap — and it happens identically every time.
Open, close, race mode, cleaning
Lights, music, climate and sims together
On a schedule or on a button
Everyone closes up the same way
07Security
Security
The alarm and the cameras hang off the same platform as everything else. Who is allowed to do what sits in one place — per role and per venue — and every action lands in the audit trail.
Alarm status per venue
Camera feeds tied to the right location
Permissions per role, no shared passwords
Complete audit trail
08Power
Power draw per simulator
Every simulator hangs off metered switches: the PC, the screen, the wheel base and the motion separately. Power, voltage and current are kept, so wear on a component shows up in the figures long before it gets in the way of a session.
Metering per PC, screen, wheel base and motion
Power, voltage and current with history
Plan maintenance on what the metering shows
Switch each component on and off remotely
09Motion
Supervised motion
A motion platform is a moving machine with someone inside it, so we treat it as industrial equipment rather than as a light. The platform keeps every motion sim under continuous watch and allows movement only while everything reports healthy. Without that confirmation the sim makes itself safe — before anyone notices.
Continuous watch on every motion sim
Movement only while everything reports healthy
Without confirmation the sim makes itself safe
Administrators see it at once, recovery is automatic
10Audit log
A log for every simulator
Every simulator keeps a file of its own: which command came in, which switch followed from it and what the software reported about it. If a question is ever asked about one evening on one sim, the answer is already there — nobody has to reconstruct anything afterwards.
Every command and every switch logged
Diagnostics arrive on their own, deduplicated per device
Searchable per device and per period
Nothing to reconstruct after the fact
11Support
Remote support
A simulator can be taken over as if you were sitting in front of it. Updates, settings and managed applications roll out per venue or across the whole fleet, outside opening hours.
Take over a simulator’s screen
Updates per venue or across the fleet
Installed versions visible per device
Licences and keys stored encrypted
12Till
Point of sale
Ring up, settle, print the receipt, open the drawer. Price, VAT and category are frozen onto the receipt, so next year’s price change cannot rewrite last year’s revenue.
Card reader, payment link, cash and on invoice
Receipt printer, invoices and receipts as PDF
Split and add to open tabs
Cash sales keep working when the line drops
13Gift cards
Gift cards
Sold at the bar or online, redeemed at any venue. An outstanding card is a liability, not revenue, so it sits apart in the figures.
Sold at the till and in the web shop
Fixed amount or free amount
Redeemable across venues
Outstanding balance reported separately
14Reporting
The sheet for your accountant
VAT per rate, revenue per category and what came in as cash — with the till, the bookings and the web shop together on one sheet, including the payment provider’s transaction fees.
Daily close and VAT per rate
Every sales channel on one sheet
Transaction fees, open balance, overdue invoices
Frozen figures: last year stays last year
15Bookings
Booking system
Customers pick their package, date and time online, pay straight away and get their confirmation. Behind the scenes that booking is simply an order in the till — so it shows up in that day’s revenue as well.
Time slots per venue and per simulator
Pay online immediately
Bookings and till are the same system
Automatic confirmation and reminder
16Web shop
Web shop & media
The storefront runs on the catalogue in the platform, sharing one stock level with the till: what goes over the counter disappears online. The photos come from our own media library.
Catalogue, variants and collections
One stock level with the till
Shipping zones and VAT reverse charge with VIES checks
Media library on its own CDN, Dutch and English
17Experience
Lap times & challenges
Every lap driven on our simulators lands in the ranking. Challenges and championships are built on top of that — the reason people come back.
Lap times per circuit, car and venue
Challenges with their own period and prize
Championships and hall of fame
Publicly visible on viraco.eu
18Events
Events
Races, track days and competition days are planned in the platform, with entries and participants. On the day itself the same system gets the servers and the simulators ready.
Calendar, entries and participants
Championships with their own standings
Public sign-up without a login
Servers and sims follow the schedule
19Customers
Customers & communication
Members, punch cards and credits belong to the customer, not to a separate system. Mails go out automatically on a booking or an order, and faults reach whoever has to fix them.
Members, credits and punch cards
Automatic confirmations and reminders
Contact forms from the website arrive here
Alerts to administrators, Discord included
20Sales
Sales & quotes
The configurator knows the catalogue, the options and the pricing rules. The quote rolls out of that same data — no separate spreadsheet that was still correct last year.
Catalogue and configured builds
Pricing rules and discounts
Branded quote PDF
Team building packages and prices for the website
21Staff
Staff hours
Flexi-jobs, pay scales per period and the hours worked. Deliberately visible only to whoever runs the business: this sits on the same platform as the till, but nobody behind the bar should see payroll.
People and pay scales per period
Hours worked per day
Shielded from bar staff
The same permission model as everything else
01One system
Why this is one platform and not twenty apps
Because the parts need each other. The eight o’clock booking knows which simulator is free. That simulator is ready with the right circuit. The scene turns on the lights at a quarter to eight. The lap time from that session is in the ranking by nine. Whatever was drunk in the meantime is on the same receipt, and that receipt is on the accountant’s sheet overnight. Twenty separate systems cannot do that — they know nothing about each other.

02Who it is for
Simcenters, race teams and home drivers
The same platform, with a different part switched on. A venue uses all of it; a home driver only the part around their own simulator.
Venues
Your business runs itself
Building, till, bookings and simulators in one environment. Opening and closing happen on schedule, even when none of us is nearby.
Race teams
The same simulator everywhere
Identical settings, content and versions at every training location, so a lap in Waregem is comparable to a lap somewhere else.
At home
Your home sim, maintained
Automatic updates, the latest content and remote support — without having to keep track of any of it yourself.
03Technical
From a single simulator to a network of locations
An agent on every PC and in every venue does the actual work; the platform holds what needs to happen. If the connection drops, the venue simply keeps running.
Automatic mode — the platform detects updates, distributes content and keeps an eye on every sim. Rollouts run outside opening hours.
Manual override — administrators pause updates, exclude specific sims or push content by hand. Full control at any moment.
Proof
This page runs on it too
You do not have to take our word for it. Click around this site and you are inside the platform: the lap times and the challenges come live out of Viraco ONE, and so do the car and circuit catalogue, the team building prices, the web shop and the booking form. What you read above is simply working elsewhere on this site.
For operators
Could your venue run on ONE?
Viraco ONE runs in our own venues and in the simcenters we operate at partner sites, at Worldkarts in Kortrijk and at Balls & More in Lubbeek. If you run a karting track, a padel club, a leisure venue or a simcenter, you are probably paying for four systems side by side that never talk to each other. We are happy to show you how it works with one.
