Live overview
System healthy, active tenants, last sealing, last login, at a glance instead of in the log file.
Your business. Your infrastructure.
One shared server for your apps and business data. Choose your hardware or hosting provider and manage tenants, access and system status centrally. The infrastructure stays your choice.
Data sovereignty
Your data belongs to you and stays that way.
Export business data in open formats. The ZIP export keeps data from sales, purchasing, accounting, payroll, inventory and projects usable outside the app. Your IT team can use it for archiving or a planned migration.
Operations console
Operate like the pros, no black-box server.
The server comes with a full operations console: status and load, tenants, license, versions, updates, backups, logs and audit. Sign in with an administrator account, cleanly separated from the ERP, just as you know it from mature server software.
Tenants & license
Tenants, administrators and license status directly visible, without a database tool.
Controlled updates
A new version in one click: self-check, health gate and automatic rollback on failure.
Audit & compliance
Traceable records for your audit.
The audit log records changes in a verifiable chain. Integrity checks and supporting records help your team and auditors trace operations. Closed periods, VAT rates and reporting status remain visible.
Operation
Everything an SME server needs.
Solid foundations instead of a tinkered solution, so the server simply runs.
Backups
A complete tenant backup at the push of a button, stored persistently, your data is secured.
Atomic updates
A version change with a health gate and automatic rollback, never a half-installed system.
Recovery
A database-independent recovery tier brings the server back, even when the database is stuck.
License & versions
License status, edition and installed versions visible and traceable at any time.
Multi-tenant
Several tenants cleanly separated on one server, ideal for groups and fiduciaries.
Audit log
A searchable log for each tenant shows who made which change and when. The audit chain can be checked for integrity.
Sovereignty
On your infrastructure, in your hands.
With ewws, data sovereignty is not a marketing word but built in.
Self-hosted
Runs on your server, locally or in the data center of your choice, under Linux, macOS, Windows or as Docker.
Open formats
Export to CSV plus a byte-exact backup (pg_dump): your data is never locked away.
Swiss standards
Document retention, audit records and electronic reporting functions support Swiss SMEs and their fiduciaries.
Security & Performance
Built secure, made for daily operation.
Data sovereignty is only half the story. The server is hardened against attacks and carries a whole team's daily work with room to spare.
Enforced sign-in
Access requires valid authentication. Repeated failed attempts trigger longer waiting times, making automated password guessing harder.
Strictly separated tenants
Every tenant sees only its own data. The separation is enforced from the signed sign-in, not from values a client can change. Ideal for groups and fiduciaries with multiple tenants.
Encrypted connection
Configure HTTPS with suitable certificates for your apps to connect. The setup determines how the server is reached and which network access is allowed.
For the whole workforce
The number of workstations, data volume and everyday workflows determine the right server setup. Plan capacity with your IT team around your business and its expected workload.
Keep operations in view
The operations console shows the condition and utilisation of your installation. Your IT team can use this information to identify bottlenecks and adapt the environment to your workflows.
Grows with you
As user numbers or data volumes grow, you can adapt your infrastructure. Your IT team plans storage, database and server resources around demand.
Access and rights
You decide who may see what, not the product.
An ERP knows salaries, purchase prices and margins. Access in ewws is therefore not a matter of courtesy but a matter of rule: finely divided, enforced on the server and recorded in both directions.
Roles
Six presets, more than 150 individual rights
Every company file comes with six ready-made roles: administration, accounting, operations, read-only, human resources and employee self-service. Beneath them lie more than 150 individual rights from which you build your own roles. Viewing, editing, posting, approving and triggering are each a right of their own, not one master switch.
Sessions
Password changed means signed out
When a password is set or an account is deactivated, the live sessions of that account end immediately. Access you withdraw is withdrawn, not merely due to expire. Repeated wrong sign-ins slow the account down, each time for longer.
Fiduciary access
The mandate is granted by the client
A fiduciary office sees a client file only with that client’s grant, and the grant is an act of the client, not of the office. It names the rights one by one, it can never carry administrative rights, and both sides read in the log who did what and when.
Modules
Switched off means invisible and unreachable
What you switch off for a company file disappears from the navigation on the Mac and under Windows, and on every device it can no longer be reached through the address either. The server refuses the request and says where you can switch the module back on. That way every client gets exactly the product they ordered.
How you get started
From prepared infrastructure to a configured tenant.
Your IT team prepares the server, database, network access and backups. Web setup and the server console then guide product configuration. Establish responsibilities and running costs before launch.
Step 1
Set up the server
You install the service on Linux, macOS, Windows or as a container and configure it in the web setup. From then on it runs as a system service and starts with the machine, with nobody having to leave a window open.
Step 2
Company file and licence
You create the first company file and store the licence file. It is signed and verified without a network connection. The edition decides the functional scope, the module activation decides what a single company file sees of it.
Step 3
Back up and operate
Backup and update run from the operations console. A version change checks itself and rolls back on failure instead of sitting there half applied. The secrets of your banking and eBill connection are stored encrypted in the database, never in clear text.
