What Extra Solution does

Extra Solution is a privately held Swiss IT consulting and staffing firm headquartered in Trélex, Vaud, founded in 2009. The company specializes in SAP consulting and broader IT project staffing, with 16 years of operating history and over 100 SAP projects completed. It serves a dual customer base of end customers (enterprises) and ESNs (IT services companies) across Switzerland, France, and Germany, placing freelance consultants and permanent hires across SAP modules (FICO, ABAP, BC, BI, FI, CS) and adjacent IT disciplines including infrastructure and cloud computing, software development, and data science and business intelligence. Notable clients include ArcelorMittal, Yves Rocher, Patek Philippe SA, EPFL, Sopra Steria, NTT Data, Saint-Gobain, and Alight Solutions.

The company operates four primary service streams: consultant outsourcing/staffing, permanent recruitment, IT consulting advisory, and payrolling/administrative services. Its most recent product offering is AI Talent Partner, an AI-driven recruitment automation platform that automates candidate sourcing, shortlisting, and engagement, with vendor claims of 60% cost reduction. Pricing is quote-based and varies by consultant seniority, specialization, and engagement type; no public pricing is disclosed. The company is a formal SAP Partner and the go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, combining direct enterprise engagement with ESN subcontracting partnerships. Marketing relies on a bilingual (English/French) website, a job offers portal, and direct contact forms.

With 15 employees and no disclosed funding, the company appears to be a bootstrapped, founder-led boutique. No revenue figures, M&A activity, leadership changes, patents, awards, or certifications are disclosed in the available data.
