What It Is

Interiware’s SAM ULTIMATE is a cloud-based Staff Administration Manager designed for staffing agencies and temporary employment firms. It centralizes the management of candidates, clients, employees, assignment contracts, working hours, payroll, and invoicing. The goal is to help agencies reduce reliance on fragmented systems and manual workflows, while lowering maintenance and backup overhead through a cloud delivery model.

Core Capabilities

The platform covers the full workflow of staffing operations: candidates can be created manually or automatically imported via website integration APIs; imported CVs can be structured by an internal AI engine to make them easier to search. Staffing assignments can generate contracts in configurable formats, with support for printing, email delivery, or legally valid electronic signatures via Swisssign QES. The scheduling view consolidates assignments and absences, and authorized users can make adjustments there. Working hours can be entered by consultants in ULTIMATE, or submitted by employees via Interijob or the Interitrack mobile clock-in app, then imported after client validation. Subsequent steps include payroll generation, calculation, payment, publishing, and bulk email delivery.

Integrations, Permissions, and Compliance

Interiware offers strong support for the Swiss local business ecosystem, including PepperMint accounting software, CCT TempData, SUVA Taritemp, Postfinance E-Bill, Swissdec 5.4, and Swisssign. On permissions, the documentation emphasizes that every user should be declared and assigned the appropriate permission profile; declaring users does not increase licensing costs, and only the number of concurrent accesses affects pricing. For compliance, the platform supports Swissdec monthly/annual declarations, SUVA Taritemp standards, and electronic signatures, but it does not disclose deeper security details such as data hosting, encryption, audit logging, certifications, or backup policies.

Pricing and Services

The official website does not publish specific pricing, plans, or trial policies in the main content; it only states that costs are affected by the number of concurrent accesses. Support options are relatively clear: offline training courses are available, covering placement, payroll, invoicing, and Interijob; a phone hotline is available on business days, and a ticketing system is used to track requests. Backoffice services are also available as an option, allowing agencies to outsource certain administrative tasks to Interiware, such as payroll calculation, DTA files, Swissdec transmission, control lists, and payroll publishing.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its strengths are its strong fit for a vertical staffing use case, rich Swiss compliance support and third-party integrations, and full-loop coverage from front-office recruiting to back-office payroll and invoicing. Its drawbacks are limited public transparency, especially around pricing, trials, security certifications, API documentation, and internationalization. It is best suited to staffing agencies operating in Switzerland that need to handle CCT, SUVA, Swissdec, electronic signatures, and temporary worker payroll. For Chinese companies or multinational HR teams, key points to verify include language support, network accessibility, payment methods, data residency, and compatibility with local regulations. There is no clear information on access from China, so network connectivity should be tested before purchase. Local alternatives in China may include Beisen, Moka, and DingTalk HR, though they may not cover Swiss staffing compliance requirements.
