What Fair IT Sàrl does

Fair IT Sàrl is a privately held Swiss software company founded in 2013 in Fribourg by Alexandre Jungo and David Vuille, operating the CID ERP platform — a modular, web-accessible enterprise resource planning system used by 5,500+ users across more than 40 named client organizations in French-speaking Switzerland. The platform spans accounting (ISO 20022 compliant), CRM/sales/after-sales service, orders and purchasing, production and stock management, Swissdec-certified HR and payroll, electronic document management with OCR, business intelligence via Tableau, and AI orchestration through the n8n automation platform. Its technology stack includes open APIs, mobile applications with Scandit barcode scanning, and exclusive hosting on Swiss infrastructure (Hidora SA and Safe Swiss Cloud AG), with third-party integrations into banking (SIX bLink), time clocks (Kaba), CNC automation (Fastems), and institutional software (MedHive).

The company operates three go-to-market configurations targeting PMEs (subscription starting at CHF 300/month with unlimited users and all modules), social/healthcare/educational institutions (Fondation Les Buissonnets, Fondation Clos Fleuri, CFPS du Château de Seedorf), and industries/large enterprises (Scherly, Henri Robert, Ascenseurs Menétrey, Police cantonale fribourgeoise). Revenue is generated through monthly recurring SaaS subscriptions, custom module development, in-person training programs (small groups of up to 6 participants), and implementation/consulting services delivered by dedicated project managers. Distribution is direct and consultative — website-based lead capture (Calendly), free business analysis offers, dedicated field sales — supported by content marketing, case studies, and presence at industry events (SIAMS, Salon RH).

In 2025 the company executed an inorganic and geographic expansion: acquisition of Syslog software, creation of Fairlog SA (logistics) and CIDuciaire Sàrl (fiduciary services) subsidiaries, and opening of a Geneva regional office. The company remains privately held with no disclosed external funding, no public revenue figures, and modest headcount (11-50 employees, 15 named team members including 8 developers). Co-founders were featured in Bilan Magazine's Romandie entrepreneurs-under-40 panorama in 2023 and 2026.

Direct peers

• Odoo: Odoo is a global open-source ERP suite covering accounting, CRM, inventory, manufacturing, HR, and more via modular apps. It competes directly with CID ERP for Swiss and European SME customers seeking a modular, customizable ERP at accessible pricing.
• Bexio: Bexio is a leading Swiss cloud-based accounting and business management platform targeting Swiss SMEs, with a similar pricing model and focus on ease of use. It is the most direct domestic competitor to CID ERP in the Romandie/Swiss-German SME accounting and ERP market.
• ABACUS Research: ABACUS is one of the largest Swiss ERP vendors, offering modular business software (accounting, HR/payroll, production, CRM) for SMEs and mid-market companies. Comparable scope, target customers, and Swiss regulatory alignment to Fair IT's CID ERP, though typically serving larger mid-market accounts.
• Opacc Software: Opacc is a Swiss-developed ERP and e-commerce platform focused on retail, wholesale, and service industries. Comparable in being a Swiss-originated ERP vendor targeting niche verticals with modular offerings, though Opacc's strength lies more in retail/e-commerce than Fair IT's institutional/industrial mix.
• RunMyAccounts: RunMyAccounts is a Swiss web-based accounting and ERP solution targeting SMEs and fiduciaries, similar to Bexio but with a stronger enterprise/fiduciary client focus. It competes for overlapping customer segments with CID ERP's accounting and fiduciary-adjacent features.

Broad incumbents

• Sage: Sage is a global incumbent provider of accounting, ERP, and payroll software for SMEs (Sage 50, Sage 100, Sage X3). It competes for the same customer profile as CID ERP across Switzerland and Europe, though with a much broader portfolio and less Swiss-specific localization.
• SAP Business One: SAP Business One is SAP's SME-focused ERP offering, commonly deployed via local partners in Switzerland. It targets the same industrial, distribution, and institutional mid-market that CID ERP serves, with deeper feature set but heavier implementation footprint and higher cost.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central: Microsoft Business Central is a global cloud ERP for SMEs covering financials, supply chain, and project operations, with growing localization for Switzerland. It competes for the same SME/industrial mid-market accounts as CID ERP and is increasingly favored for its Office 365 integration.

Regional players

• EBP (Sage Group): EBP is a French SME accounting and ERP software vendor, part of Sage Group, primarily serving the French-speaking SMB market in France. It targets a similar buyer profile (small French-speaking businesses needing integrated accounting, payroll, and CRM) and competes indirectly with CID ERP's offerings in Switzerland's French-speaking market.

Emerging players

• Yooz: Yooz is an AI-powered cloud invoice automation and document processing platform targeting finance departments. It overlaps with the GED/OCR capabilities of CID ERP for invoice processing and P2P automation, representing an emerging frontier in workflow automation relevant to Fair IT's AI/n8n strategy.
