Gemeinde-Support AG

What Gemeinde-Support AG does

Gemeinde-Support AG is a Swiss professional services firm founded in April 2015 and headquartered in Baden, Switzerland. The company provides consulting, interim staffing, and training services to Swiss municipalities and adjacent public-sector and nonprofit organizations, including Spitex providers, Caritas Aargau, and Rudolf Steiner Schule Aargau. Core offerings cover GEVER (electronic records management) consulting, AI training and integration support, ad-interim staffing of administrative specialists, citizen-participation facilitation (3D method), and ongoing subscription-based support packages. The firm is co-founded and led by Viktor Umbricht and Daniel Notter and operates with approximately 23 staff, deploying experienced former public administrators as consultants.

The company runs a practitioner-led model that converts deep Swiss public-administration expertise into a portfolio of standardized offerings. Core products include the GEVER-Check assessment (CHF 1,900 per engagement), Steuerbezug-Support subscriptions (CHF 79-290 per session), group training modules, and a publications catalog (CHF 9 per unit). Recent strategic emphasis is on AI-related services, structured through 2026 partnerships with CMI (KI+), Ategra (eGeKo), and PeakPrivacy, and executed through dedicated modules covering KI-Beratung, KI-Inhouse-Schulung, and AI compliance support.

The business model is multi-stream: project-based consulting, hourly or daily interim staffing, group training, and recurring subscription support. Customers are fragmented small Swiss municipalities and nonprofit organizations, with no single dominant client. Revenue is contract-based and transactional rather than platform-based, with modest average ticket sizes and an emphasis on regional relationship selling. The company remains founder-owned, with no external funding, and relies on organic growth driven by new service lines and adjacent vertical expansion.
