Swiss specifics

What is different in Switzerland

Dental software

The Swiss market imposes requirements that an international solution usually lacks — it is built for other legal systems. Buy from abroad and you notice at the year-end close, in the VAT filing or with the first payroll declaration. These are the points that decide in this category:

This category lists only vendors with a Swiss legal entity. Foreign solutions are not excluded — none of those that matter here names a franc price.

DENTOTAR framework tariffThe dental framework tariff by which treatment items are billed. Practice software must carry the items with their tariff points and update them at every revision — an outdated tariff produces invoices the payer rejects.
Social-insurance dental tariffThe tariff by which dental services are billed to disability, military and accident insurance — with its own point values per payer. Practice software must carry it alongside the private tariff, because the same treatment costs differently depending on who pays.
Data hosted in SwitzerlandData residency in Switzerland is not a legal requirement but frequently a procurement one — especially for personal data and public contracts. Ask where the data centre is, not where the vendor is registered.
Data locationSwiss data centres are not a legal requirement, but often a procurement criterion – especially for personal data and public-sector contracts.
Ten-year retentionThe Swiss Code of Obligations requires ten years of audit-proof retention – including readability. Clarify what happens to your data after you cancel.
Export and exitBefore signing up, check what an export looks like (entries, documents, master data). A solution without a usable export is a one-way street.
