There are several factors that significantly influence how long it takes before you can start shipping to Switzerland:
System to be integrated
If you use one of the systems illustrated above, we can start barcode shipping very quickly via Plug & Play with the help of our integration software. If you need an individual connection to our Asendia or eTracking API, you will have to calculate higher efforts.
