How long does it take to ship with the SGF service?

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.

Existing data quality

Certain data MUST be available in a certain quality. This is especially true for customs related data. If this is not the case, you have to improve your data - we are happy to help.

 

Given project and developer resources

For an individual connection, you need to allow approx. 3 developer days. Due to feedback loops and testing, you can assume approx. 2 weeks until a launch if the data is good.
