ALPHA INFORMATIK · SWITZERLAND · IN USE INTERNATIONALLY

We build systems that take over your routine

Reading documents, applying rules, deciding cases — and presenting every exception with a reason instead of waving it through.

Developed and operated in Switzerland — in use far beyond it.

Connection

Your system stays. We dock on

Nobody likes replacing something that works. Our products do not replace your environment — they attach to it. The result lands where your people already work.

No change of systemYour ERP, your CRM, your line-of-business application and your archive stay where they are. We sit in front of them and behind them, not in their place.
We connect to what is thereThrough your system's interfaces, if it has any. Through files, mailboxes and folders, if it does not. Older software can be connected too.
Your people learn nothing newThe result appears in the screen they know. Our own interface is only needed by whoever checks the exceptions.

What we do

Eight steps. One waits for a person

Alpha Informatik is a house of systems programmers. We build software for businesses that work with documents, messages and rules every day. No black box: every step is visible, every decision has a reason — and at the point where it matters, no algorithm decides.

AUDIT TRAIL

The document is synthetic. What is unambiguous goes straight through — here the system stops before release because a rule applies. After that it is filed where you already work: in the customer file of your CRM, in the folder on the drive or in the spreadsheet.

Who it is for

Eight everyday sentences. If two of them are true, we should talk

Not every company needs this. It pays off where the same work is done by hand every day and where somebody has to answer for it in the end. Read the list — after twenty seconds you will know whether we mean you.

  • Documents are retyped even though they have long arrived digitally.
  • The same question is answered afresh every week.
  • A deadline has already run out because a message was further down the pile.
  • Two people decide the same case differently.
  • Before an audit you gather documents together instead of showing them.
  • One particular person's holiday slows down a whole procedure.
  • A spreadsheet holds together something that belongs in the system.
  • You pay monthly for functions you never open.

What is behind it

The inbox decides what is due todayIt is not the plan that sets the order but whatever is on top. By the evening the pile is smaller — what was left lying around, nobody knows.What hangs on this: you only hear about what was left lying around when somebody complains.
You still have to justify decisions years laterThe question does not come when everything is going well. It comes from an audit, two years afterwards — and the person who decided is long gone.What hangs on this: without a log, your answer is a recollection. That does not count in an audit.
Knowledge depends on individual peopleOne person knows how the special case works. If they are on holiday, the special case waits. If they retire, somebody starts from scratch.What hangs on this: a resignation becomes an operational risk instead of a staffing question.
You have no IT department of your ownWe build, operate and hand over — with documentation that somebody else can read too. You do not need a developer in the house for it.What hangs on this: every small change turns into a negotiation with a supplier.

If none of this applies, you do not need us — we would rather say that now than after the third meeting.

YOUR DATA IS STORED ENCRYPTED IN SWITZERLAND.

What does that mean?

Nobody reads alongEncrypted in transit and at rest. Without the key it is gibberish there — for us as well.
Every access is in the logWho opened which document and when can be looked up. Rejected accesses too.
You decide for how longDeletion periods according to your specifications, not ours. From the backup copies as well.

The legal basis is the revised Swiss Data Protection Act, and for personal data from the EU the GDPR in addition. We put the data processing agreement in writing before the first document flows — not afterwards.
