Crésus FAQ
From installed files to a governed cloud platform.
Can you import Crésus files?
Yes — chart of accounts, VAT codes, journal history, and prior years.
Do we lose Swissdec compliance?
No. Crésus Salaires is Swissdec-certified and so is Numezis payroll.
Can several people work at once?
Yes. Numezis is multi-user in real time; no licence queueing.
Does QR-bill still work?
Yes. Both products issue and read QR-bills; this is not a trade-off.
Trademark?
Crésus and Epsitec trademarks are independent of Numezis.
Typical migration time?
30–60 days depending on how many financial years you carry over.
