"C'est à leur intention que le seco, l'Office fédéral de la justice, l'Office fédéral des assurances sociales et l'Administration fédérale des contributions ont mis en place le nouveau guichet électronique www.pmeadmin.ch"
I have come up with 'virtual point of contact', 'virtual office', 'electronic office', 'electronic gateway' and others.
Any thoughts?

Comment: "I balked at the word 'kiosk' (conjured up images of sweets and newspapers for me) and went a bit more vague with 'electronic information service'. Thanks for your help."

just an idea...not sure if they're actually offering just advice as such
Peer comment(s):

No, not as in snakes and ladders!
While the French take their numbered ticket to a "guichet" for some red tape, we get called to a counter, don't we? If you want something pretty literal, that should work. As for the qualifier, electronic, e-, virtual, etc., all would work.
