Custom software and development is one of the largest growing industries in the United States, especially with regard to small and medium size companies.  Every company operates differently.  This is the very reason why some companies, perhaps yours,  do better than others.  Most business owners have found that off-the-shelf software is too generic to meet the company needs, and have turned to custom software developers to build applications that enhance the company business procedures that are currently in place.

At Alpha Custom Applications, we design and develop custom computer database software for use across the U.S..  We service remote locations with remote desktop sharing and conference calls, and we provide onsite service in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Nassau and Suffolk county areas of Long Island, NY New York.  We also provide phone technical support for Alpha Five to developers throughout The United States, Canada, and The United Kingdom.

Alpha Custom Applications has been designing custom database software for over 20 years, and today has over 100 custom applications in use. 

Our programmers deliver applications that exactly meet the needs and specifications of our nationwide clients.  We design both desktop and web based applications, and specialize in cross platform data communication.  Your custom software will enhance your operations, and will streamline data entry by importing, exporting, and sharing data from other sources like UPS, USPS, FEDEX, SQL, ODBC, Google, MapQuest, QuickBooks, Visual Manufacturing, and virtually any other data source.  Recently, we developed and enhanced an application that interacted directly with Infor Visual Manufacturing software, using an SQL connection.  The resulting custom forms save the manufacturer dozens of man hours every week.

Our services also include the use and integration of computer barcode printing and scanning in the software.  Whether you need simply to scan inventory, or to print, label and inventory stock, we can help.  Remember, UPC barcode use and printing saves money, and we can point you toward the right laser scanner equipment to purchase

Another popular service we provide is website design, web based appointment calendars, online shopping carts, and customer browser based sign in portals.  Many of our clients enjoy the flexibility of sharing data entry with their clients and offsite co-workers, avoiding phone calls, emails, and redundant data entry.

While we develop in other platforms, our primary database engine is Alpha Software’s Alpha Five.  Alpha Five is the leader in relational database platforms, and has won numerous awards for its capabilities.

We have been using Alpha Software since the early days of Windows, first developing in the DOS based Alpha Four, and then later in the Window’s based Alpha Five.  We still migrate older Alpha Four applications onto Alpha Five, converting applications, and updating it as needed.  Alpha 5 and Alpha 4 are Exceptional relational database solutions.

Our applications are in use every day in dozens of companies.  They are used for services to Home Depot, Toy's 'R Us, National Wholesale Liquidators, machine shops, night clubs, caterers, assembly companies, youth organizations, and small offices across the US.

We also design web applications in PHP, ASP, FLASH, SWISH, and of course, are proficient in HTML.  We have been developing in PHP for over 10 years, and ASP, SWISH, and FLASH for more than 8 years.  This, combined with our website design and graphics capabilities, allows us to build and design software that spans the requirements of even the most complex businesses found in the United States.

Lastly, as we design your website or web based portal, we will optimize your web pages to achieve search engine visibility.  After all, a website is of little value if no one can find it in Google, Yahoo, and MSN.  We are experts at search engine optimization, and we will show you dozens of examples where we have optimized pages on specific keywords that drive traffic to our websites we have designed..

We look forward to hearing from you, and we will give you straight forward, easy to understand information that will help you determine what we can do to help streamline your United States based business, and increase your profit.
