Urban Mobility Solutions in Thun
Thun is Switzerland's defence logistics capital and the gateway to the Bernese Oberland — a city where military supply chain security, Alpine resort access, and lakeside intermodal logistics operate simultaneously from the same road network. RUAG and the Swiss Army maintain Switzerland's largest logistics depot in Thun, and every commercial carrier operating in the city must navigate the security perimeter, dual-use goods controls, and air-gapped data requirements that military supply chains demand. 8Move's Thun defence logistics module enforces carrier security clearance verification and RUAG campus access credential management, storing all military consignment data in an isolated partition with role-based access restricted to cleared operators.
The Thunersee ferry network creates an intermodal delivery layer for lakeshore villages — Spiez, Oberhofen, and Hilterfingen can be served by road or by BLS Schifffahrt vessel, but only if departure windows are respected. 8Move integrates BLS vessel timetables and co-optimises combined road-to-Schiffstation-and-onward-boat routes, padding road ETA to match vessel departure windows.
Bernese Oberland mountain access roads to Adelboden, Kandersteg, and Lenk close seasonally with less than 48 hours' notice. 8Move monitors 14 Bernese Oberland mountain access routes via Kanton Bern Tiefbauamt feeds, automatically flagging and rescheduling affected resort deliveries with customer notifications when closures are confirmed. For fleet management and relocation services operators transferring personnel between Bern, Thun, and the alpine resorts, this real-time Alpine awareness is the critical operational intelligence that no map application provides.
