05 — FAQ

Custom software in Sweden: common questions

Do you work with businesses in Sweden?

Yes. Flip Retail is based in Jaipur, India, and works with Sweden businesses remotely. We have no office in Sweden; discovery happens on video calls, you get working software every two weeks, and the engineers who write the code are on the calls.

Can a custom ERP handle VAT and e-invoicing in Sweden?

Yes. Invoicing is built for Sweden's VAT (standard rate 25%). B2B e-invoicing is voluntary but widely used, and e-invoices via Peppol have been mandatory for suppliers to the public sector since 1 Apr 2019. Sweden is reviewing a domestic B2B mandate and ViDA digital reporting, with no date set. If you or your customers want it, a custom ERP can connect to Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 through an accredited provider.

How do you handle GDPR?

GDPR applies directly, supplemented by the Data Protection Act (Dataskyddslagen, SFS 2018:218) and supervised by the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY); B2B buyers expect an Art. 28 data processing agreement, a sub-processor list and, in practice, EU/EEA hosting or SCC-covered transfers. You choose where the system is hosted, access is role-based, and we work on test or masked data during development wherever possible.

Can you migrate us from Fortnox, Visma eEkonomi or Visma Spcs?

Yes. Masters, ledgers, stock items and opening balances move across and are reconciled with your accountant before cutover, ideally at a year-end or quarter-end.

Are there AI rules we need to follow in Sweden?

The EU AI Act applies directly: prohibited AI practices have been banned since 2 Feb 2025, general-purpose AI model rules apply since 2 Aug 2025 and transparency duties (e.g. chatbot disclosure, AI-content labelling) since 2 Aug 2026, while the Digital Omnibus on AI (in force 27 Jul 2026) moved stand-alone high-risk (Annex III) obligations to 2 Dec 2027 and product-embedded high-risk (Annex I) obligations to 2 Aug 2028; the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) has been proposed as coordinating AI supervisor. We design AI agents with logging, human oversight and clear disclosure from the start, which covers most current requirements.
