What Tunn3l does

TUNN3L SAS, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Villeneuve d'Ascq, France, operates a cloud-based management platform purpose-built for indoor skydiving (wind tunnel) facilities. The platform combines software (350+ features spanning booking, POS, e-commerce, CRM, accounting, video/photo automation, partner portals, business intelligence, and inventory) with optional hardware installation and consultancy services, organized into three subscription tiers: TUNN3L Lite (SMB, 48-hour plug-and-play delivery), TUNN3L Standard (enterprise with 24/7 worldwide support and onsite installation), and TUNN3L Military Edition (offline standalone for non-commercial defense facilities). The architecture is API-first with 47 payment gateway integrations and localization across 18 languages, with the public-facing website available in 6 languages.

The company sells directly to operators globally with documented deployment in at least 14 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Scandinavia, and other regions, supported by a 17 million end-user feedback loop and case studies including Clymb (YAS Island), Windoor, Ozone Kuwait, IFly Lyon, IFly Marseille, MACenter, Weembi, RealFly, MadridFly, Fööni, WindWerk, Airspace, and zerOGravity. Revenue mechanics rest on annual subscriptions across the three tiers, additive professional services (implementation, training, customization), and hardware sales, with adjacent sub-brands (Drop Zone 5, Wave7, Leisure9) under common ownership. Tunn3l holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR certifications, has partnered with Mollie (payments) and Alkivi (IT services), and counts OVHcloud as hosting infrastructure.
