The reality · 2,131 municipalities

Three problems, every year, in every municipality.

We spoke with over 40 municipal secretaries and finance advisors before writing a single line of code. The same roadblocks keep coming back.

01 · Readability
30.301.3010.00 31.310.3110.14 33.330.3300.00 34.340.3400.00 36.361.3610.00 37.370.3700.00 38.380.3800.00 1'248'302.50 842'117.00 392'441.80 1'925'887.30 512'009.45 98'442.00 214'778.60 ?

You don't understand your own numbers.

MCH2 has 8 key indicators, 26 cantonal variants and thousands of accounting lines. Militia-system elected officials have to vote on budgets they don't always fully master.

150- to 300-page annual reports read in a few days before the vote. A council willing to do well — but without the right tools.
02 · Isolation
MA COMMUNE ? ? ?

Impossible to position yourself.

Are my admin expenses in line with peers? Is my debt high for a peri-urban municipality of 5,000? Today, answering means digging through cantonal stats or calling neighbours.

Public data exists — but it's scattered, often 1–2 years out of date, and never reworked to build a real peer group.
03 · Decision
? ? ? DÉCISION DU CONSEIL

You vote without seeing the 5- to 10-year impact.

A CHF 4M investment, a tax-rate cut, a new daycare: what consequences for debt, cash flow and investment capacity in 2032? Without a projection tool, the council decides without long-term visibility.

Official financial plans rarely project beyond 4 years, and without a pessimistic scenario. Major trade-offs, however, span 8 to 15 years.
Features · The heart of Dataris

One platform, three levers of transformation.

Understand. Compare. Decide. Three simple steps, designed together to take municipal finance from an annual report to continuous management.

01 · Understand

From raw numbers to readable KPIs at a glance.

The 8 key MCH2 indicators calculated automatically using your canton's exact rules. Traffic-light system, 5-year trends, plain-language explanations. A council member who has never opened a balance sheet understands in 90 seconds where their municipality stands.

  • 8 MCH2 indicators — self-financing rate, cost-coverage rate, net debt per capita and 5 others.
  • Cantonal traffic-light system — official cantonal thresholds, no generic Swiss average.
  • Plain-language explanations — every ratio explained for a non-accounting audience.
  • 5 years of history — visual trends, no endless tables.

02 · Benchmarking

Your municipality, compared to the right peers.

Dataris aggregates public data from the FSO and the 26 cantonal statistical offices, then builds relevant peer groups: size, canton, economic structure, rurality. You see precisely where you lead — and where potential remains.

  • Smart peer groups — up to 50 comparable municipalities, tuned to your profile.
  • Updated data — no 2021 PDFs, we re-aggregate as soon as official data is published.
  • Visual ranking — see your percentiles on every indicator instantly.
  • Drill-down by function — administration, schools, social services, public works, planning.

03 · Decide

Simulate a decision's impact over 5 to 10 years, in 30 seconds.

Tax-rate cut, loan for a school, new tax framework: Dataris projects the exact impact on your financial plan across three scenarios — optimistic, realistic, pessimistic. The AI runs exclusively on Swiss infrastructure and never leaves the country.

  • 5- to 10-year projection — on MCH2 indicators, debt, cash flow, investment capacity.
  • 3 scenarios — optimistic, realistic, pessimistic — computed on your real history.
  • 100% Swiss AI — models trained and hosted in Switzerland. Your data stays with you.
  • Municipal council export — decision sheet ready to present in session.

06 · Presentation
