Problem
Swiss first‑pillar social insurance funds must handle large volumes of member data, financial contributions, and product‑security obligations while complying with strict regulatory standards.

The platform provides a unified, secure environment for managing contributions, benefit calculations, and product‑security data across all participating funds. By operating as a non‑profit cooperative, IGAKIS coordinates development, maintenance, and support through its central business office, ensuring consistent service levels and technical upgrades. AKIS integrates with external providers and adheres to Swiss regulatory requirements, enabling member funds to focus on their core social security tasks. The solution scales to serve over 480 000 insured persons and supports both cantonal and federal insurance entities.
