    Reliable operations thanks to a modern architecture

  • The Swiss Army needed a solution that would integrate the administrative tasks of the troops in a single system and provide digital support.

  • Together with Netrics and other partners, the Swiss Armed Forces implemented a modern administration and finance application that reduces the workload of 15,000 militia officers.

Challenge
Solution

In large organisations such as the army, a variety of administrative processes must work reliably. MIL-Office 5 was developed precisely for this purpose. As a modern web application, it bundles central tasks in an intuitive environment. The modules for accounting and reporting were implemented by Netrics.

The accounting module covers all financial processes of the troops and the administration. Bookings can be created online and then further processed offline. A check-out/check-in mechanism ensures that all changes are synchronised reliably. In addition, the system supports tasks such as personnel control, accommodation allocation and meal planning.

The reporting module allows users to define temporary organisational structures and configure unit reports individually according to the task at hand. Entries can be created with ease and then reviewed or approved along the hierarchy – all governed by a clear authorisation logic.

Today, MIL-Office 5 supports several thousand people across the armed forces, civil protection and the administration, making processes more transparent and reliable and everyday work significantly easier.

Technically, MIL-Office 5 is built as a modern single-page web application with role-based permissions, centralised data management and a smart synchronisation mechanism that minimises conflicts and automates data exchange – even in demanding operational environments.

  • Why this is exciting for your company too

  • MIL-Office 5 demonstrates how a modern web application unifies complex processes, automates routine tasks, ensures data quality and still remains flexible to support a wide range of application scenarios. An approach well suited to any organisation seeking to integrate different specialist functions in a single system.
