DIY vs. Partner-Led Integration
Odoo includes Swissdec certification, but out-of-the-box setups cover only basic scenarios. They’re fine for simple payroll, yet they often fall short for real-world compliance, multi-entity structures, and integrated HR/accounting workflows.

Even with Swissdec in Odoo, proper setup is complex. Without expert configuration, account/tax mappings and ELM parameters are easy to misalign - leading to failed submissions and rework.
