Swiss SMEs · From Fribourg

You did not build your company to do data entry.

Copying a quote into invoicing, reentering the same address for the third time, updating a spreadsheet by hand. We connect your software so they share information without you. The time these tasks consume returns to your business. Everything can be done remotely, from Fribourg, and the diagnostic is free.

The same information, two lives

What happens when a quote gets accepted?

Today, it is retyped three times. With LYVIA, it is entered once and moves on its own.

Your business

This is not about computers. It is about your week.

Every business has its friction points. Here are the most frequent ones among Romandy SMEs.

Garage and body shopThe quote goes out by message, the invoice is typed in the evening.A quote gets accepted. Watch what happens next.Joinery and timber framingThe hours worked on site remain in a notebook until Friday.The hours recorded on the job site arrive in payroll.Electrical and plumbingEach intervention report is retyped a second time at the office.The signed report goes to the client and files itself.Retail and warehouseThe store stock and the cash register do not match.A single quantity, the same at the till and in the warehouse.Fiduciary and administrationThe documents arrive in bulk, always at the end of the quarter.Each document is filed upon arrival, not three months later.Practice and careThe appointments, invoices, and reminders live in three separate tools.An appointment booked triggers the invoice and reminder.Hair and beautyThe phone rings during the colour, and the appointment is written down by hand.The client books her own slot, and the salon keeps its hands free.

Yours is not listed? Same story: accurate information, written several times, in places that do not communicate with each other.

In practice

Five situations you will recognise

We are often asked what we actually do. Here are five ordinary situations, what they cost, and what settles them. The figures carry their source and their date.

01

The work docket written three times

An electrician has a paper docket signed at the client's. In the evening he types it into the invoicing. Then he types the same hours again for the payroll, because the law requires working time to be recorded. One piece of data, three entries, three chances to get it wrong.

FROM THE END OF THE WORK TO THE MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT SIA 118 STANDARD 30 DAYS FEDERAL ENTERPRISES 90 DAYS OF CHECKING, THEN 60 TO PAY 120 DAYS, THE STATUTORY LIEN HAS LAPSED FROM THE END OF THE WORK TO PAYMENTSIA 118 STANDARD30 daysFEDERAL ENTERPRISES150 days120 DAYS, THE STATUTORYLIEN HAS LAPSED

SIA 118 AND ART. 839 PARA. 2 CC · BENCHMARKS AM SUISSE, 26.02.2025

What we do. The signed docket is photographed on the spot. It feeds the invoice, the hours statement and the site file in one go. We count the entries removed, not the features delivered.

02

A hundred supplier invoices a month

Half paper, half PDF. Each one is opened, checked, retyped, filed, then archived a second time at the trustee's. Handling them often costs more than the bookkeeping itself.

DIRECT STAFF COST, 100 INVOICES A MONTH 6 000 LOWER END 18 000 UPPER END SAVING CREDITED 60 to 80% PAYBACK IN 6 TO 18 MONTHS ANNUAL COST, 100 INVOICES A MONTHLOWER END6 000UPPER END18 000SAVING CREDITED60 to 80%PAYBACK IN 6 TO 18 MONTHS

BILLENTIS, EUROPE, 2017 · ORDER OF MAGNITUDE, NO SWISS MEASUREMENT PUBLISHED

What we do. The invoices are read automatically, a human checks and corrects. The gain is measured over three months before and three months after, at your place, not in a brochure.

03

The last pair sold twice

The till and the online shop keep two counters. The last pair leaves the shop on Saturday morning and is sold again online in the afternoon. The customer receives a cancellation three days later.

SHARE OF ITEMS MISSING FROM THE SHELF 4,1 % ACCURATE STOCK 8,9 % INACCURATE STOCK FACING AN EMPTY SHELF 31 % BUY ELSEWHERE ITEMS MISSING FROM THE SHELFACCURATE STOCK4,1 %INACCURATE STOCK8,9 %FACING AN EMPTY SHELF31 %BUY ELSEWHERE

GRUEN AND CORSTEN, 2008 · FAST-MOVING CONSUMER GOODS, INTERNATIONAL SCOPE

What we do. A single stock counter, decremented by the till as by the shop, and a link that reports its own failures instead of swallowing them.

04

The quote that never arrived

You send a quote, the client does not reply, you conclude they were not interested. The message was neither in the inbox nor in the spam folder. It was blocked on the way, and nobody is told.

A HUNDRED EMAILS SENT ABOUT TEN VANISH NEITHER IN THE INBOX NOR IN SPAM THE SENDER KNOWS NOTHING NOR DOES THE RECIPIENT A HUNDRED EMAILS SENTABOUT TEN VANISHNEITHER IN THE INBOX NOR IN SPAMNOBODY IS TOLD

VALIDITY, 2025 · 9.8% CLASSED AS MISSING, MEASURED WITH SEED ADDRESSES

What we do. SPF, DKIM and DMARC aligned, then the reports read to find your own forgotten senders, including the site form and the invoicing tool.

05

The enquiry that was never made

You live on word of mouth and your site allows nothing. What is missing does not show in the accounts, because it is an enquiry that was never made.

KMU DIGITAL PULSE 2025, LOCALSEARCH AND HSLU · SURVEY COMMISSIONED BY A SELLER OF ONLINE PRESENCE

What we do. A page that says what you do, a way to write to you, a domain name and accounts in your name. And no promise of a position on Google, because nobody can keep it.

These five situations are composed from verified facts and public sources cited under each figure. None of them tells the story of a LYVIA client.

What we do

How does LYVIA work?

In four areas: connect your tools, automate what repeats, put AI to work, train your team. One goal: information flows without you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What We Are Most Often Asked

How much does it cost?

The diagnosis is free. The quote comes next, after mapping your tools and data entries.

Do I need to change software?

Rarely. We connect the ones you already have: Excel, Outlook, Odoo, bexio, Abacus, WinBIZ or Google Workspace.

Where are my data hosted?

This depends on each software. We check where each one hosts your data and in which country, and we write it down clearly. See what this covers.

Where do I start?

With the free diagnosis: five questions, two minutes. One of the two partners will reply to you personally.

How long does it take?

Two minutes for the form. For the rest, the diagnosis provides an answer tailored to your tools.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Everything can be done remotely, via video conference, from Fribourg, wherever you are in Switzerland.
