    Valais municipalities launch online.vs.ch

    In four pilot municipalities in Valais, the confirmation of residence is available as a digital service, simply, regardless of location and around the clock. The service is provided via the online.vs.ch portal, which has been set up since January 2025 as a joint access point for digital services from the canton, municipalities and semi-public institutions. By the end of the year, all 122 municipalities in Valais should offer this online service, taking their residents’ services a further step towards end-to-end digital processes.

    A portal for modern government services
    By launching this service, the canton and municipalities are responding to the growing expectations of the population and businesses for simple, accessible contact with the authorities at any time. As the project organiser, the canton of Valais is responsible for financing the project and is working closely with the pilot municipalities to design and introduce the services. The aim is to consistently simplify administrative procedures, avoid media disruptions and make digital interaction the preferred option for contact with the administration.

    Electronic identification increases security
    Until now, many online applications have been based on web forms with subsequent manual identity checks. Identification is now carried out electronically via online.vs.ch, which simplifies the completion of forms, speeds up processing and increases data security. Users can choose between two types of connection, including the AGOV public authority login provided by the federal government, which does not require a password and is based on modern authentication technologies. This provides better protection for personal information and at the same time makes access to digital administrative services more convenient.

    Expansion of the offering
    Since going live at the beginning of 2025, over 40 cantonal administration services have already been integrated. Further services from the canton, municipalities and semi-public organisations will follow step by step. In the long term, the portal should become the central access point for all digital services of the Valais authorities and thus bring the cantonal digitalisation strategy to life.

  • The Livit laundry room is going digital

    The Livit laundry room is going digital

    Tenants and landlords have personal access to an online portal. After logging in, the tenants can see whether the washing machine and / or dryer are free, select the devices and book them. Offsetting is also carried out via the system, in which the tenant purchases a credit (online or via a payment slip). There is no longer any need to collect coins or manage washing cards by the caretaker. And when the laundry or the dryer is ready, the tenant receives a message on the cell phone – a great advantage especially when he or she has to climb several floors.

    Tenants, administration and owners benefit equally
    The advantage for tenants is obvious – they benefit from the convenience that the new system offers them. Livit and the owners benefit by being able to preset washing times or block the devices for repairs and maintenance. The administrative effort is reduced and a dashboard provides an overview of usage at a glance. Livit is one of the first companies in Switzerland to completely digitalize billing in communal laundry rooms. For the implementation, Livit has chosen the company ELEKTRON AG as its partner, which has decades of experience in simple and cashless billing in communal laundry rooms. The fully automated, manufacturer-independent billing solutions offer tenants maximum flexibility and minimum administration effort. “On the one hand, it was crucial that the solution was independent of the manufacturers of the devices. On the other hand, there is also the flexibility and real Swissness that ELEKTRON embodies, ”says Adrian von Burg, Head of Business Solutions at Livit.
