Swiss specifics

What is different in Switzerland

Production planning

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.

Customs declarationImports and exports are declared electronically to the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security; the assessment decision is at the same time the voucher for import tax and therefore for input tax deduction. Software must carry customs tariff number, origin and weight per article — without them no declaration is possible.
Foreign currencyPurchasing in euros or dollars, accounting in francs: you need a rate per document date, valuation at the balance sheet date and posting of the exchange difference. The Federal Tax Administration publishes daily and monthly average rates for this.
Data locationSwiss data centres are not a legal requirement, but often a procurement criterion – especially for personal data and public-sector contracts.
Bought only through a partnerSome vendors sell and support exclusively through resellers. Then there is no price without a quotation and no start without an implementation project — and quality rests with the partner, not the vendor. Ask who your contact will be once the system is live.
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.
