Kunde:	Raiffeisen Group
Applikation:	Raiffeisen
Technologie:	C++, JAVA; TCL/TKL, HTML5/JSON

In recent years, the Raiffeisen Group has established itself as the leading retail banking group and third largest banking group in Switzerland. Its strength is its local roots. Today, Raiffeisen customers include 3.7 million Swiss nationals. Of these, over 1.8 million are members of cooperatives and thus co-owners of their Raiffeisen bank.

The Raiffeisen Group provides its individual autonomous Raiffeisen banks with price information for foreign exchange, interest rates (e.g. mortgages) and securities. Together with Dion Global Solutions, soXes has developed a central pricing tool specially for the Raiffeisen Group, which receives, validates and calculates market data from different providers (Reuters, Bloomberg, Sungard etc.). This information is then made available to the different systems (e.g. Avaloq) or the local Raiffeisen banks.

This pricing tool was implemented several years ago and is still in daily use today. Today, soXes takes over the maintenance and support of this application. In addition, changes and improvements are regularly incorporated into the solution within the scope of small projects.

From a technical point of view, the solution consists of a backend (central computer) developed in C++/Java and a frontend developed in TCL/TKL and HTML5/JSON.

 

Kunde:	Mercer Alternatives AG
Applikation:	Mercer
Technologie:	Web2Py, Python , MySQL

Mercer Alternatives AG is an independent Swiss investment advisor for institutional investments in private equity, real estate and infrastructure. With more than 130 employees at its offices in Zurich and Nyon, Mercer is one of the leading providers of pension advice, investment consulting and solutions as well as advice on human capital and compensation management in Switzerland.

The company offers individual advisory solutions and collective investment vehicles, as well as investment controlling and reporting services.

soXes has developed an application for Mercer to calculate the total expense ratio, or TER (Total Expense Ratio). The Total Expense Ratio is a key figure that puts all administrative costs of an investment vehicle in relation to the assets under management.

The calculation basis (funds and their net asset value as well as investors and their units per fund) is imported from a central system via an import interface into the Mercer TER application. In contrast, the management costs are entered manually. Based on this data, the application calculates the total cost ratio per investor for their investments at the touch of a button. The results can be output as PDF or Excel reports and distributed to the investors. A user management function allows the distribution of roles with different authorizations.

The Mercer web application is programmed in Python and the data is managed in a PostgreSQL database.

soXes developed the initial web application in 2013 and since then has further developed the TER application in the context of change requests. In 2019 soXes received a refactoring order. The data model was fundamentally revised in order to better represent fund of fund structures (multi-level hierarchy) and at the same time the technology stack was updated.

With today's solution, calculations are more efficient, significantly faster and easier. This reduces the source of errors and enables significant time savings. The documents are now stored centrally and clearly arranged at the right place and are available at any time. In addition, the proportionate total cost ratio for an investor in complex investment structures can be calculated in the desired level of detail.

The diocese of St.Gallen, which has existed since 1847, is one of six dioceses in Switzerland. The territory of the diocese comprises the cantons of St.Gallen, Appenzell Innerrhoden and Appenzell Ausserrhoden. The central task of the diocese of St.Gallen is the pastoral care of the people and that the Catholic Church thrives and remains alive in the more than 142 parishes.

The personnel data of the Diocese of St.Gallen used to be managed in a simple Access application. Within the scope of this project, soXes was commissioned by the Diocese of St.Gallen to create a software solution that would allow the user-friendly collection and management of data from internal, external and freelance employees.

For this purpose, soXes developed a new web-based solution based on ASP.NET and Java Script. Thanks to the new application, a simpler, faster and more sustainable use of the personnel data within the Diocese of St.Gallen is made possible. Duplications can be eliminated and the technical basis can be raised to a modern level. Within the application different functions (e.g. chaplain) can be assigned to a person and this person can be assigned to one or more organizational units (e.g. parishes). Furthermore, clever filter functions allow users to create analysis lists and simple reports themselves. The application also offers the possibility to export data for an Outlook import or a file readable for Adobe InDesign.

Today's solution has significantly simplified the work with personnel data for the Diocese of St.Gallen. Because the personnel database is stored centrally, users can access it from different locations. Thanks to the different user rights, usage can be controlled in detail. Based on this new solution, the diocese now creates the printable version of the personnel directory with little additional effort on the part of the graphic designer.

Kunde:	CelsiusPro AG
Applikation:	Celsius Pro
Technologie:	C#, .NET, Python, Web services, Mongo DB, Big Data, DotNetNuke

CelsiusPro is the leading provider of weather derivatives in Europe. CelsiusPro's products enable companies to protect themselves against weather-related risks.

In order for a business model of this complexity to work, a large number of components must interact: Weather data from hundreds of global weather stations must be converted into a uniform format and their retrieval must be made efficient. Statistics and probabilities of weather events are computed and prices are calculated based on them. Prices for the weather derivatives can be queried and purchased via a web portal. CelsiusPro employees also manage customers and products within this platform.

For this task CelsiusPro relies on a completely individually developed environment that seamlessly combines the .NET Framework with the programming language Python, which is well known from the open source scene. While the website and the back office system are programmed in C# and are based on DotNetNuke, the price engine and the system for loading weather data is based on Python. A web service, which allows the calculation of a price via internet, combines both languages even within one program. Python becomes IronPython (the implementation of Python in the .NET Framework). The system is freely configurable and allows the creation of new products, pricing engines and the connection of new weather stations.

Visit the website www.celsiuspro.com and see for yourself how a combination of the programming languages IronPython and C# covers the requirements of a state-of-the-art web application including a mathematically complex pricing engine. Within this project, soXes is responsible for the entire environment and continuously develops the platform further.

Kunde:	instaSOLUTION AG
Applikation:	instaGUARD
Technologie:	YII, PhoneGap, Angular JS

In the course of various projects in the field of alerting and mobilization, it became clear to soXes that in the field of alerting there are many providers, but not many comprehensive solutions that are based on or support modern platforms. soXes therefore decided to build a comprehensive real-time alerting system. After a development period of more than two years, instaGUARD and thus the company instaSOLUTION was born. instaGUARD is a technologically top modern and innovative alarm system for emergency, evacuation, mobilization, threats and technical alarms. It is a new generation in alarm management.

With instaGUARD it is possible to trigger an alarm in real time in an emergency situation or, in the case of team mobilization, to notify your team within seconds. An alarm can be triggered at the touch of a button on the smartphone, by SMS, phone call, e-mail or key combination on the computer. The software is centralized, cloud-based on an Internet platform and is operated by the user via an external client application, which is installed locally on a mobile or fixed end device.
This enables the recipient to be contacted globally via all communication channels. This significantly increases accessibility and enables a fast response time. The alerting process is more efficient, faster and easier than with conventional systems.

Thanks to the alarm configurator, different alarm types can be pre-defined and triggered according to the emergency situation. These differ, for example, in the ringing tone, the recipient circle, the priority, the escalation level or the instructions for action. Alarms can also be triggered by an external system by connecting instaGUARD to an existing external system (e.g. fire protection system). Depending on the medium, alarms can be sent with different delays and the recipient can be requested to acknowledge them. If an alarm was triggered, it is possible to locate the device from which it originated.

In this project, soXes resp. instaSOLUTION implemented all the work from the idea to the design, the technical concept and the implementation.
soXes has extensive know-how in the field of real-time communication with different media and a variety of protocols and systems.

Kunde:	Weber Bekleidung AG
Applikation:	Mode Weber
Technologie:	Python, web2py, Webservices, Android, iOS, PhoneGap, Interfaces, Apache

Mode Weber is the leading East Swiss fashion house for ladies and men's fashion. The family business with strong local roots was founded in 1919 by Ernst Weber and is now managed by the third generation. It has six Mode Weber branches as well as Esprit, Street One, Marc O'Polo Shops and a Nile Shop.

Today Mode Weber has a customer card, the so-called Webercard. As soon as purchases reach a total value of CHF 1,000, the customer receives CHF 50 in cash.

Mode Weber has commissioned soXes to pack the popular Webercard into a smartphone app for Android and iOS. The proven principle is very simple: All purchases are synchronized with the smartphone thanks to the connection to the merchandise management system. When the total amount of 1,000 francs is reached, the customer can create a credit note (cash bonus) for the cash payment of the 50 francs in the form of a QR code.  

Within the app, the user also has the option of viewing and changing his profile information at any time. The current account balance shows how much the customer still has to buy for in order to receive his Cash Bonus. The bonus received can then be activated and redeemed at any time on the app. The app also enables the fashion house to contact its customers at any time via push message and send them additional personalized bonus coupons.

To provide the app with the necessary data, soXes designed and implemented the backend of the app. The information is retrieved from Mode Weber ERM (merchandise management system) and made available via the app's interface. The backend provides additional functions such as bonus management, push message management, etc. and is only available to selected Mode Weber employees.

This project is based on the programming language Python and uses Apache as web server. In order to make optimal use of existing resources, reduce programming hours and save costs, soXes has used the open source framework web2py, which is itself written in Python. soXes uses open source technology wherever possible and reasonable.

Kunde:	MySmartHeart
Applikation:	MySmartHeart Tracking Portal
Technologie:	ASP.NET, Angular 7, Micro-Services

MySmarthHeart AG (MSH) based in Zurich helps patients and cardiologists to systematically record ECG and movement data. For this purpose, patients wear small, waterproof sensors directly on their bodies for days or even weeks to record medical data while they can continue their normal lives, whether at work, exercising or sleeping. The medical data from the patients' everyday life is valuable information and is made available online to treating physicians. Patients and doctors can use the small, mobile sensors to exploit new potential for high quality in prevention, diagnosis and therapy. While collecting data from the patient, MySmartHeart continuously checks the quality and seamless transmission of the data, while you have direct contact with the customer via app. 

MSH distributes the small ECG sensors and takes over all functions from logistics to support. For the smooth and efficient logistics of the ECG sensors, soXes has developed a tracking tool or portal in cooperation with the customer. With the tracking portal, the logistical processes of the individual ECG sensors are tracked precisely. The tool processes data from five different partners with the help of several interfaces and Mirco services. Thanks to the Tracking Portal, everyone involved can see exactly where the ECG sensors are located. An export function also allows partners and the MySmartHeart team to download and process active or closed processes. Thanks to the data collected, the Tracking Portal automatically recognizes when a replenishment of ECG sensors is needed and then creates an order. After the order is confirmed by a MySmartHeart employee, the order is forwarded to the appropriate partner via an interface.

This project was under enormous time pressure during implementation and the tracking portal had to be developed quickly. Thanks to very good cooperation, a lot of hard work, expertise and the right communication, it was designed and implemented within four weeks. The tracking portal is now used by several clinics and is constantly being expanded.

Thanks to the automation via the tracking portal, the logistical handling of the devices is uncomplicated and saves MySmartHeart and the patients and doctors a lot of time and coordination effort. The tool also facilitates the analysis of individual processes and helps enormously in detecting errors within the logistics chain. The tool has a modular structure and can be easily developed further and quickly adapted to new requirements at any time.

Kunde:	Gertsch Consulting & Mode Vision AG
Applikation:	POD - Pattern on Demand
Technologie:	ASP.NET, Windows Applikation, Outsourcing

Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision AG offers consulting and software for the clothing and fashion industry. This includes software for style development, the creation and editing of cuts as well as solutions for individualised tailor-made clothing. Since individualised made-to-measure clothing is currently one of the most important megatrends in the clothing and fashion industry, Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision has commissioned the soXes GmbH team to help develop a solution in this area.

The aim was to develop an application for the acquisition of measurements for garments, which once acquired can then be automatically sent to a garment production company, where the corresponding garment is produced to measure. Gertsch Consulting and Mode Vision already had a software solution in use. Within the scope of this project, the task was to have soXes develop and improve the existing solution from scratch and make it web-capable.  

This successful cooperation resulted in the successful software solution POD - Pattern on Demand, which is used today in various clothing companies. Via the B2B2C-capable (Business to Business, Business to Consumer) webshop, the customer can act as a co-designer and individually create his or her fashion according to the offer of the supplier. For example, it is possible to design his individual shirt/blouse or suit/costume to measure. The customer sees by means of visualization what he changes, selects and how he designs the garment.
The platform provides a very extensive range of functionalities from which a supplier of individual fashion can choose. Fabrics, linings, contrasts, materials, embroideries and variants can be recorded and managed. In addition, the customer has the possibility to individually print the fabric. This includes the colour-controlled selection of brand logos, the upload of own images (e.g. club or company logos), as well as the generation of text images to mark an article with your own lettering. The integrated solution also offers the possibility to inform customers or retailers fully automatically about the progress of an order via e-mail templates. The status of the order is also logged in the web shop.

Thanks to this solution, Gertsch Consulting und Mode Vision AG can generate significant added value for its customers.
Because more and more companies nowadays want to offer customers the opportunity to help shape their personal clothing style as co-designers. This concept also breaks up the classic production and supply chains, as production and delivery is only done on demand. The POD solution takes these two circumstances into account.

Together with our customer PortaNet AG from Emmen, we at soXes GmbH have developed a digitalized measuring and information system for windows, doors and gates. Now, windows and doors can be digitized very easily; with a complete cloud solution based on low-power/wide-area technology.

MyPortaNet automatically measures, controls and administrates the complete usage process with information, fault reports and maintenance activities. If a service is due or if a door is open which should be closed, the system automatically signals the status or service requirement. This digital measurement data thus helps companies (but also private individuals) in particular to better design their processes, provide targeted services for their customers, reduce costs and save time, optimize repairs and maintenance of doors and windows and, last but not least, increase security.

PortaNet recognized the pulse of time early on: The earlier you jump on the bandwagon of digitalization, the more interesting your own competitive advantages and those of your customers will be. Soon the idea and vision was there to automatically control and administer the complete usage process of doors and windows with information, fault reports and maintenance activities thanks to the new possibilities of IoT (Internet of Things). Because the Internet of Things opens up completely new possibilities and added value for users in this area as well. 

Possible areas of application are very diverse, for example:

Would you also like to use the IoT potential for your company within your industry?
Are you looking for successful developers to implement your IoT project?

My Service App is a startup company whose app idea we worked out, refined and successfully implemented in several workshops.

The app was designed for Android and iOS. The goal of the app is to share and assign jobs within the community. There are two user groups: vendors and service providers. The providers can, for example, place an order to buy and the service providers can apply for the order. Each order can be viewed beforehand and the service providers can place their bids for it. The provider can then choose from the bids and give a commitment to a service provider.

In addition to the app, soXes was also allowed to design and implement the app Webseite, which serves to introduce the features of the My Service App to the customers and to explain the advantages.

swissplan.ch offers management information in the financial sector of the public sector where the focus is on individual customer needs. In order to facilitate and digitalize internal and external company processes, a Wordpress website with its own Content Management System (CMS) was developed. This allows the website administrator to manage and expand all website content. The website, with a new design, was equipped with a customer portal. The design and implementation are responsive, so that mobile users can use the website easily and intuitively.

The customer portal is also available as a free app on iOS and Android tablets and smartphones. The app enables quick and easy access to the customer portal of swissplan.ch. To view or download new files swissplan.ch uses the Internet connection (mobile data or WLAN) of the mobile device. No Internet connection is required to view the files already downloaded (offline function).

Applikation:	TUS alarmDispatcher
Technologie:	Graylog Cluster, Microservices, InputChecker, System Monitoring, Redis Sentinel, Nginx, Galera Cluster, JSON, Push-pull Methodik

In the sixties of the last century, the then PTT was looking for strong partners to operate and finance an alarm transmission service in Switzerland. Securiton AG and Cerberus AG (now Siemens Schweiz AG, Building Technologies) took up the challenge. In 1968 they founded the interest group TUS Telekommunikation und Sicherheit. The pioneering spirit was rewarded: Thanks to constant technical innovations and considerable investments, TUS today presents itself as a modern and efficient multi-technology provider with interesting prospects for the future.

In line with this, the TUS alarmDispatcher, an integrated alarm management system for the systematic distribution of system faults, emergency calls and alarms, is designed and implemented using the latest technological possibilities. A high-performance IP-based network is used to transmit the messages.

The TUS alarmDispatcher is a switching unit which ensures that customer terminals (e.g. hazard detection systems) can send appropriate messages to designated alarm receivers (e.g. blue light organisations) within a few milliseconds while maintaining a specified persistence. Alarm receiving points include TUS AIN (Automatic Intelligent Notification) - the smart platform behind the alarmOBSERVER - or eAlarm (Swisscom's intelligent alarm receiving point).

At the same time, the alarm receiving point can send control commands (e.g. lock doors) to the alarm transmission points. Consequently, the TUS alarmDispatcher can function as a duplex.

In order to comply with the high availability and alarm technology compliant guidelines (EN50518, EN50136), the following technologies and solutions are used: Graylog Cluster, Microservices - among others Log Service, InputChecker, System Monitoring (PRTG among others), Redis Sentinel, Nginx, Galera Cluster, JSON, Push-pull Methodology, Split Brain Prevention

Applikation:	Wilux
Technologie:	Delphi, C#, SQL

Wilux Print AG is a specialist in the field of labelling. It solves labelling, marking and scanning tasks for all types of companies and industries reliably, simply and cost-effectively. Wilux Print AG specialises in the customer-specific manufacture of transport, scanning, printing and labelling systems.

In this project, soXes has received an order from Wilux Print AG for the reengineering of an existing software solution for one of their customers. Specifically, this order involves a Windows Forms application that is installed locally on the relevant PCs. This application is also connected to an SQL server and, via Windows Services, to various other devices such as label printers, EAN printers, wireless hand scanners and label scanners. 

The challenge with this application was to ensure the high printing and scanning cadence at all times. It was also important to guarantee simple and intuitive user guidance. There was also a requirement for a real-time status overview of all jobs and devices or connections.

Thanks to the commitment of soXes, the project was successfully implemented. 

Today soXes is working on further follow-up projects for Wilux Print AG.
