Business in Basel
Roche and Novartis both have their global headquarters on the Rhine in Basel, and their research and production campuses employ many thousands across the region. Syngenta and Clariant continue the city's chemical tradition, the Swiss Rhine Ports give landlocked Switzerland its link to the North Sea for containers, fuel and bulk goods, and the Bank for International Settlements and the Art Basel fair bring international visitors.
Also known as Bâle.
Where software helps: Life-science suppliers and contract manufacturers around Basel must keep GMP-grade batch records and supplier qualifications, while invoicing customers under Swiss, French and German VAT rules in two currencies.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Basel: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Basel?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Basel; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Basel and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 4 h 30 min ahead of Basel on standard time, and 3 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 13:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 4 h 30 min to 5 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.
Can your AI agents talk to customers in German, English and French?
Yes. Current language models handle German, English and French well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it is unsure about to your team.
What would a first project look like for a pharma business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For pharma & life sciences that is often batch & expiry control and formula and recipe management. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
