Software with the precision of mechanical engineering.

Behind alpin-code sits optimisation DNA: mechanical engineering, optimisation projects at Audi and BMW, technical sales at Keyence, ERP and CRM systems both seen and built. That standard, efficient, precise, affordable, goes into every app.

We build from the process, not from the feature list.

If you have optimised shop-floor workflows, you look at the work first: who does what, with which tool, in what order, and where time is lost. The software comes after that. That is why our apps mirror how a business actually works, instead of ticking off a feature list that only looks complete on paper.

Where the standard comes from

  1. Mechanical engineering

    A part is finished or it isn't. We hold software to that same standard.

  2. Audi · BMW

    Optimisation projects on the shop floor. Once you have improved a workflow there, you look at the work first and at the tool second.

  3. Keyence

    Technical sales. You sit inside the businesses and hear where it jams, usually somewhere other than the catalogue assumes.

  4. ERP & CRM

    Both seen and built ourselves. So we know what such a system really has to do, and what it may cost.

That is what every app is made of: efficient, built properly to the end, affordable.

Tell me when it launches.

None of the apps is in the store today, but each one has a date ahead of it. One email when yours is ready. No newsletter, no noise.
