Today, MSO Sàrl operates from two offices: Delémont and Lausanne.
It carries out 250 assignments a year, both in Switzerland and abroad. To date, thousands of people have taken part in or ridden in races of all sizes and levels organized by MSO.
Offices
MSO's strategic center is in Delémont. It comprises 1500m2 of space for logistics, administrative offices and the printing center. With this building, built to Minergie quality standards and using solar panels and heat pumps, MSO is demonstrating its commitment to reducing energy consumption and working in increasingly environmentally-friendly conditions.
This infrastructure is complemented by a data center consisting of 4 shared physical servers hosted in Sion by SILICOM, and an administrative office in Lausanne, created to develop and strengthen local links with some of MSO's customers.
Vehicles
With equipment capable of timing several thousand participants a day, MSO's 5 Mercedes Sprinter L4 buses are true chrono centers, functional and autonomous even several hours after a power failure. Their timing solutions are state-of-the-art in terms of experience and reliability. For each event, they are accompanied by at least one trailer containing all the additional equipment needed for our intervention to run smoothly.
