Zefix helps you find Swiss businesses and prefill a Didyma client with public commercial-register information. There is no Zefix connection for users to configure in Didyma.

Search while creating a client

  1. Open Clients and select Create Client.
  2. Enter at least three characters of the company name.
  3. Review the active-company results and select the correct legal entity.
  4. Confirm the details before selecting Create.

Didyma uses a prefix search and returns up to 20 active companies. If the company is not listed, continue with manual entry and verify the spelling or register status separately.

Information Didyma can prefill

The available Zefix record can populate the company name and business classification, legal entity type, billing street, city, postcode, canton, and country. Didyma can also suggest the reporting language from the available registry data.

The linked record retains registry identifiers and supporting details such as the UID, EHRAID, legal seat, registered capital and currency, company purpose, status, SOGC publications, branches, auditors, earlier names, and registry links when Zefix provides them.

Not every company has every field. Treat prefilled information as a starting point and check it against the engagement records.

Important date caveat

When Didyma fills an Incorporation Date from Zefix, it uses the commercial-register journal date of an identifiable new-registration publication. If that publication is missing from Zefix’s history, Didyma reads the explicit registration date from the linked cantonal extract. It does not use the latest change date or the oldest available amendment.

If the cantonal extract cannot be read, Didyma shows an error and sends a diagnostic report, including the canton, to support. You can enter the date manually or try again later.

The registration date can differ from the founding deed, articles, or start-of-business date. Check the date needed for the engagement against the client’s records before relying on it for accounting, tax, or legal work.

On Client Info, editing the company name can start another Zefix search. Selecting a result links the registry record and updates the available business information.

Use the expanded Zefix information and Refresh action to retrieve newer registry data. Refresh updates registry fields and available legal, date, and address information, but it does not silently rename the Didyma client. Review changed information after every refresh.
