hsolutions designs, develops, integrates and hosts custom software — from analysing the need through to running it day to day.
Expertise
Software written around the way you work, on whichever platforms your business actually needs.
02Websites, portals and web applications: from design to operation, built around the people who use them.
03Invoicing, accounting, payments, point of sale: systems that follow how your business actually runs.
04Getting systems that do not talk to each other to talk — without replacing everything.
05Choosing well before building: bad technical choices are paid for over years.
06Hosting and running what we build, over the long term, in Switzerland.
Our principle
The norm in this trade is to offer an existing product and ask people to bend to it. That gets paid for in workarounds, parallel spreadsheets and wasted time.
We start by understanding how your business actually works — not how it would have to work to fit a product. The solution comes afterwards, and it follows that reality.
How we workSelected work
Online ordering for distributors, credit-card flow reconciliation, centralised tills, embedded systems, 3D training games: a selection of projects taken end to end.
Online commerce
An online ordering and catalogue system for the dealers of several major brands distributed in Switzerland. The catalogue exposes items, their variants and their availability; dealers order directly, filtering by range, price and brand.
Web & portals
A set of web modules for the brand in Switzerland: a map-based store locator with search by town and radius, opening onto a detail card listing the ranges actually stocked; rider team pages; news and an events calendar, all driven from one administration.
Finance & accounting
A solution reconciling merchant data, VISA and Mastercard data and bank data into a single overall view. The interface brings together reconciliation, contracts, accounting, risk management and statistics, with results reported per currency.
Web & portals
A two-part technical solution: an engine that continuously collects sales, lots and images from many auction-house sites, and a full client-facing site — bid tracking, notification of every action to the parties involved, and distinct roles and access levels.
Games & training
A game and training tool built for a leading fine-watchmaking house: the user assembles Calibre 675 part by part, from the winding mechanism to the calendar. Components are viewable in real-time 3D; the whole is multilingual, with a set of training films played through a built-in viewer with subtitles.
Systems & embedded
Development, for a major brand, of an interactive coffee machine driven by a touchscreen and connected to the internet. The embedded software controls movements, pumps and recipes, on a system with no moving parts and therefore completely silent.
How we work
We take a project end to end. That does not mean rebuilding everything: it means one counterpart is answerable for the result, at every stage.
Analysing the business, the real processes and the constraints — including the ones nobody volunteers.
Choosing the architecture and technologies, breaking the work into modules by priority and budget.
Writing the software, aiming for something extensible, reliable, secure and genuinely usable.
Connecting the solution to what is already there: databases, business applications, hardware, external services.
Hosting, monitoring and evolving the system over time, without you having to change counterpart.
Our products
Newsletters and news, 100% Swiss
hnewsletter is our platform for sending newsletters and publishing news. It is aimed at companies that want to reach their clients and partners without depending on a technician, and without handing their contact lists to a foreign platform.
Hosting
Software that is delivered and then left unattended becomes a problem within months. We host and operate the solutions we build, in Swiss datacentres — Geneva, Lausanne or Zurich.
That covers web and email hosting, virtual or dedicated servers, high availability with load balancing and data redundancy, and virtual-machine backup.
Hosting & infrastructureOrganisations and companies we have worked for, on one-off projects or long-running collaborations.

hsolutions
hsolutions was incorporated as a Sàrl in 2005, but our activity predates that and some clients have trusted us since 1999. That continuity shows in how we work: we have watched enough technologies come and go to recognise the ones that will last.
