alpin-code — business software held to engineering standards
Affordable software with engineering precision. For an efficient start.
Two families, one ecosystem: Shopify apps under the shopforge roof for your store — and the Kompass family for time, bookkeeping and whatever your business needs next. They grow with you — and sync into each other.
Optimisation DNA from mechanical engineering — hands-on at Audi, BMW & Keyence

FirmenKompass
BilanzKompassFor your business
The Kompass family — grows with your company.
From first orientation to the balance sheet: start with what you need today — every further app docks on seamlessly. All built to German regulations.
Start here — for your business and for you privately.
steuermut is the free front door: founding guides, calculators and a business plan tool. Enter your company and play through tax structures — or plan privately: taxes, saving, retirement. When your business grows, the Kompass apps are ready.
Software tools for orientation — not tax advice.
BilanzKompass
From incoming invoice to balance sheet: capture receipts, file VAT returns straight via ELSTER, hand your accountant a DATEV batch — without an expensive bundle.
Needs the bank connection (finAPI) — and has to be exact from day one.
KundenKompass
Contacts, quotes and pipeline in one place — using the invoice truth from BilanzKompass instead of a second customer list.
Actively being built — contacts and quotes are in, the pipeline comes next.
Hours & expenses→land in the books automatically→one click to VAT return & DATEV — no double entrySpecial topic
luvex — UV engineering
Where we go deep: a vendor-neutral engineering platform for the UV industry.
Why alpin-code
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
Mechanical engineering
A part is finished or it isn't. We hold software to that same standard.
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.
Keyence
Technical sales. You sit inside the businesses and hear where it jams — usually somewhere other than the catalogue assumes.
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.
