Product Details

What is Alpha Anywhere?

The Alpha platform is a unified mobile and web app development and deployment environment with distinct "no-code" and "low-code" components.

The vendor says that using the Alpha TransForm no-code environment, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Alpha TransForm's built-in programming language.

IT developers can use the Alpha Anywhere low-code environment to build complex, offline-capable web and mobile business apps with deep functionality. Alpha Anywhere can access and integrate with existing databases and web services, and can exploit built-in role-based security. Additionally, the vendor says Alpha Anywhere is designed to build applications in significantly less time than traditional coding. While most other mobile app development software addresses either the front-end OR the back-end, Alpha Anywhere combines all required client AND server development features. Enterprise level reporting, geo-location/mapping tools, charting, scheduling, media handling (including offloading options to the cloud) and responsive design are all built-in. This solution includes native-like quick start mobile templates right out of the box.

We currently use the runtime version to conduct Registered Livestock Sales for Livestock Producers. It has proved a very valuable tool for them as we can accomplish in 8 hours what took them over a month. With the Alpha product progressing to the Low Code/No Code paradigm and the Cloud, we have been hard at work converting our product to the web.

Alpha Anywhere is the primary development tool used to build custom applications that are used within the business and by our clients. The vast majority of these applications are browser based and are built to manage the business processes required by the end user. Anything from a simple income and expenditure application through to full ERP systems and everything in between.

The client base is across a wide range of business areas.

Alpha Anywhere is the Software Development platform we use to design and implement custom software packages for clients. Clients contact us when they want proprietary software to control the workflow and accounting for their businesses. In most cases, there isn't a software package available to meet their needs, so they commission our company to develop exactly what they want. Using Alpha Anywhere, we have designed applications for financial services companies, construction companies and retail store chains, to name just a few.
