DIGITALDRINK: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

DIGITALDRINK is a digital platform for the Swiss beverage market that connects beverage producers and wholesalers. It serves as a data hub for article master data, product information and market data, including legally required food information such as allergens, nutritional values and ingredients, and offers a promotions calendar. Wholesalers receive article data and promotions directly in their ERP system through interfaces, and orders can be delivered there. Modules include DD Order and DD Shop, a B2B webshop for wholesalers, and, for producers, DD Business Intelligence and DD Gastro-Rückvergütung.

Digitaldrink AG is based in Regensdorf, Switzerland, and its website names no foreign owner. Switzerland is not an EU member but is an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision. The privacy statement refers to Swiss data protection law. The website does not state where the platform is hosted, so organisations that upload sales and master data should ask the vendor for the hosting location and the data-processing terms. Users decide who may access the sales data they upload.

Why digital sovereignty matters with DIGITALDRINK

DIGITALDRINK is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

DIGITALDRINK hosts data in Switzerland only. Switzerland is not part of the EU or the EEA, so the GDPR does not apply there directly; the European Commission does recognise Swiss data protection as adequate, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. Our model therefore scores it between EU hosting and hosting outside Europe. If you require strictly EU hosting, take this into account.

DIGITALDRINK is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs DIGITALDRINK together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
