Security First
With version 8, and after 35 years of development, Office Maker continues to rejuvenate and strengthen itself. Our software confirms its position at the forefront of technology, security, and ease of use. Version 8 brings many new features, the main ones of which are presented here.
Security improvements
The security of your data is our priority.
For several years now, each major version of Office Maker has brought new enhancements. Version 8 is the culmination of our goals in this area.
Office Maker is the only Swiss ERP to use the QUIC protocol, which prevents any interception of communications between client and server, with a strong encryption key that is renewed at least once a month and is unique to each server.
Our servers, their backups, and all our employees are based in Switzerland. None of your data leaves Switzerland.
For both cloud and local server versions, Office Maker is one of the few Swiss solutions to use dedicated client software rather than a web browser to connect to the server. This not only allows for superior performance and greater ease of use, but also better security.

New features in version 8:
-
Two-factor authentication via email. With this option, a six-digit authentication code is sent by email after the password is entered.
-
Two-factor authentication via TOTP. This option uses a free TOTP app on the user's smartphone to provide the login code after the password is entered. This allows for biometric authentication, as smartphones are generally protected by facial recognition or fingerprint recognition.
-
Protection by identifier of workstations authorized to log in. This option is less restrictive than the previous two and has the advantage of preventing any connection from an unauthorized computer, even if the password has been guessed or disclosed.
New REST module
Office Maker 8 offers a new REST module available in all three programs in the range, in cloud and local server versions, in Standard or PRO versions.
This is a very important development in our programs. Our REST API (Application Programming Interface) will allow other applications or web apps to connect easily and securely to our server versions to read or write data in real time, without having to go through import or export files.
This opens up a huge range of possibilities, such as linking to EDM applications or time tracking software or any other specific software, custom development by third-party programmers of peripheral applications, or opening up to artificial intelligence. All the special functions of the integrated spreadsheet are also available via REST.
Detailed documentation for programmers is available.
Multiple modification dates
Version 8 provides much more information and offers better traceability of the current status of the file.
The exact date and time of creation, as well as the author of the creation, are always retained, along with the last ten modifications.
The user mentioned may be a person or a REST account. A Type is associated with each step to distinguish, for example, between manual or automatic entries or data imports.
Certified for macOS Tahoe and Windows 25H2
Our software is optimized for the latest processor architectures and will run optimally on recent computers.
The software icons have been modernized and adapted to the dark or transparent modes of macOS Tahoe.
Version 8 continues to run on the same configurations as version 7.4, except on Mac, where the minimum system requirement is now macOS 13 Ventura.
See our Recommended Environment document for more details.
Version 8 will be gradually rolled out starting in mid-November 2025.
