Many Swiss SMEs manage their accounting digitally, yet often archive documents physically in binders, store them on local hard drives, or use a standard cloud storage service. This practice risks non-compliance with the Business Books Ordinance, as traditional storage solutions do not guarantee legal requirements like immutability. The new solution from bexio bridges this gap, providing the convenience of a cloud solution.
"Legal Compliance at the Push of a Button"
"The desire for less paper is significant among many SMEs, but there is often uncertainty about whether digital storage meets legal standards," says Markus Naef, CEO of bexio AG. "With the Document Archive, we dispel these doubts. We provide our customers with the assurance that their step towards a paperless office is legally sound."
Instead of developing its own solution, bexio partners with Swiss specialist OriginStamp AG. Their "OriginVault" technology ensures maximum security in the background while seamlessly integrating into the familiar bexio interface for customers.
"Security 'Made in Switzerland'"
The Document Archive offers four key benefits that significantly reduce administrative effort:
-GebüV Compliance: Strict Swiss retention obligations are fully met. Relevant business documents are archived immutably, traceably, and with tamper-proof timestamps automatically in accordance with the requirements of the Business Books Ordinance (GeBüV).
-Central Data Room: Physical archives and filing cabinets become obsolete. All documents are centrally located, digitally accessible at any time.
-Highest Security Standards: The infrastructure is located in ISO-27001-certified Swiss data centers. The environment is tamper-proof and protects company data far beyond conventional cloud storage from changes or deletion.
-Order & Efficiency: Thanks to full-text search and tags, documents can be found in seconds. Trustees have direct access to the comprehensive data base upon request, greatly simplifying collaboration and audit preparation.
Friedrich Kisters, CEO of OriginStamp AG, adds: "We care deeply about Swiss SMEs. By deeply integrating our technology into bexio, we make a high-security infrastructure, often reserved for large enterprises, easily accessible to over 100,000 customers."

The Document Archive is available since 1 March 2026. The solution is an integrated part of the bexio "Optima" and "Ultimate" packages.
