Axon Active partners with Soreco for payroll software development through a dedicated software development team building a modern payroll platform that streamlines HR operations and ensures reliable processing. The team works closely with Swiss stakeholders to deliver a secure, cloud-based solution that improves efficiency, reduces manual effort, and supports consistent, compliant payroll execution.
Soreco focuses on HR software development to simplify payroll operations and compliance. Soreco.Payroll is a secure cloud payroll platform hosted in Switzerland, providing Swiss payroll software that replaces manual processes with efficient, automated workflows.
The solution centralizes employee data, streamlines salary processing, and ensures alignment with Swiss tax and social security requirements. Built-in integrations with banks, insurance providers, and government systems reduce administrative effort and improve data consistency. Axon Active’s engineering team in Vietnam provides long-term engineering capacity, working closely with Swiss stakeholders to support continuous product evolution. Development and testing are performed on anonymised or synthetic datasets in segregated environments; production payroll data remains in Switzerland and is not accessible to the engineering team.
The team owns the end-to-end payroll software development of Soreco.Payroll, delivering HR software development expertise to replace fragmented, manual workflows with a unified digital solution. By centralizing employee data and automating complex payroll calculations, the platform reduces administrative effort while advancing payroll automation and minimizing processing risks. It provides an intuitive interface for managing contracts, taxes, and payslips within a single environment. Flexible wage type handling, automated historization, and accurate retroactive calculations ensure reliable payroll processing, while built-in support aligns with Swiss cantonal tax regulations and accounting requirements.
Operational efficiency is further enhanced through seamless integrations with insurance providers, banks, and government systems. As payroll compliance software, the platform supports tax processing, automated reporting to the ELM and FSO standards, and the social security schemes it implements, alongside configurable data imports and flexible reporting capabilities.
The team delivers end-to-end full-stack development using Angular on the frontend and Java on the backend. This approach ensures close alignment between user interfaces and underlying services, enabling faster iteration and consistent user experiences.
The platform leverages PostgreSQL for secure and reliable data management. The data layer is designed to ensure strong consistency, high performance, and long-term maintainability, supporting the accurate processing of sensitive payroll information required for payroll software development.
Axon Active provides a dedicated development team that operates as an embedded delivery partner within Soreco’s engineering organization, following a hybrid Scrum–Kanban model with two-week sprints. Each sprint includes joint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, ensuring continuous alignment and the steady delivery of demo-ready increments.
Regular timezone overlap between Vietnam and Switzerland enables real-time collaboration for key ceremonies and decisions, while structured asynchronous workflows keep development moving outside shared working hours.
The long-term team model allows the same engineers to contribute across successive sprints, building deep product knowledge, reducing onboarding effort, and maintaining delivery continuity. Swiss account leadership remains closely involved, providing governance, risk management, and roadmap alignment.
The team has integrated enterprise-tier AI-assisted tooling, approved by the client and configured with no data retention and no model training, into the daily development workflow. These tools accelerate routine engineering tasks without replacing human judgment. Code generation is reviewed, test suggestions are validated, and documentation drafts are edited by engineers.
Adoption followed a structured onboarding period where the team assessed output quality and established norms for AI tool usage. The result is a workflow where AI tooling reduces friction in repetitive tasks while ensuring engineers remain accountable for every line of code shipped.

Continuous collaboration and platform evolution over more than fifteen years
The system serves companies with large workforces, ensuring reliable and accurate payroll processing
Certified to meet Swissdec requirements for standardized and compliant payroll reporting
We support payroll platform development in regulated environments by combining stable engineering delivery with strict alignment to local compliance requirements.
For Soreco.Payroll, the system is designed to handle Swiss-specific regulations, including cantonal tax rules, social security schemes, and reporting standards such as ELM and FSO. The engineering team works closely with Swiss stakeholders to ensure that regulatory requirements are consistently reflected in both system logic and user workflows.
Instead of treating compliance as an afterthought, it is embedded directly into the platform’s data models, validation rules, and reporting processes—ensuring reliable, audit-ready payroll execution at scale.
The platform reduces administrative burden by centralising payroll processes and automating repetitive tasks.
HR teams can manage employee data, contracts, salary components, and payslips within a single system, eliminating the need to work across multiple tools. Automated calculations, historisation, and retroactive adjustments reduce the risk of manual errors, while one-click payroll execution streamlines monthly operations.
Additionally, integrations with banks, insurance providers, and government systems minimise data duplication and manual coordination—allowing HR teams to focus more on strategic workforce management rather than routine administrative work.
Data accuracy is ensured through a combination of structured data models, automated validation, and reliable processing workflows.
PostgreSQL is used to maintain strong data consistency, while system logic enforces validation at each stage of the payroll process. Features such as automated historisation and retroactive calculation ensure that any changes are tracked and applied correctly over time.
In addition, controlled workflows and system-generated outputs reduce reliance on manual input, minimizing the risk of human error. Every change is processed through clearly defined rules, ensuring that payroll results remain consistent, traceable, and auditable. Confidentiality is protected through role-based access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and strict separation between production and development environments.
The collaboration model is based on a dedicated engineering team working within a structured Agile delivery framework.
The team operates in two-week sprints with regular planning, daily coordination, and stakeholder reviews. This creates a predictable rhythm where progress is continuously visible through working software rather than delayed releases.
A daily overlap between Vietnam and Switzerland enables real-time communication for key discussions and decisions, while asynchronous workflows ensure that progress continues outside shared hours. This combination allows for both responsiveness and focus—ensuring consistent delivery without disruption.
Continuity is achieved through a long-term team setup with no mid-engagement rotation, allowing engineers to build deep familiarity with the product, its architecture, and domain logic.
Knowledge is reinforced through shared documentation, code reviews, and ongoing collaboration with Soreco’s stakeholders. Over time, the team develops a strong understanding of payroll workflows, regulatory requirements, and integration points—reducing onboarding effort and improving delivery efficiency.
This stability ensures that each new feature builds on existing knowledge, enabling more reliable decision-making and smoother product evolution.
