Multilingual sites (DE/FR/IT) are expected for national reach.
Revised Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP / nDSG): In force since 1 September 2023 — privacy notices must list recipients and countries data goes to.

How the quote is scoped

These factors affect the work involved:

Number of discrete modules
Data cleanliness of legacy import
Custom integration with bank/logistics APIs

Share your budget in CHF or USD. The schedule, payment milestones, external charges and support terms are agreed in writing before work starts.

How much does a freelance ERP developer cost in Switzerland?

It depends on number of discrete modules, data cleanliness of legacy import and custom integration with bank/logistics APIs. There are no fixed packages: share your budget in CHF or USD and receive an itemised, milestone-based proposal.

How long does an ERP implementation take?

The build is planned around the Revised Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP / nDSG): consent capture on forms, a clear privacy notice, data minimisation and suitable hosting. In force since 1 September 2023 — privacy notices must list recipients and countries data goes to. Final legal wording should be checked by your legal adviser.
