AI for proALPHA ERP
proALPHA is a German mid-market ERP, in the market since 1992 and one of the most widely used systems among DACH manufacturers in machinery, metal fabrication, and automotive supply. It is a deep, screen-heavy system covering production orders, multi-level bills of material, capacity planning, and shop-floor data collection. Incredible drives proALPHA by voice, handling the order entry, time reporting, receipts, and lookups a shop-floor or office user would otherwise key into its dense screens.

Can Incredible drive proALPHA without touching the integration layer?
Yes. Incredible operates proALPHA through the same desktop client your team uses, reading the screen and entering data by keyboard and mouse. proALPHA is a deep, screen-heavy system, and while it ships an Integration Workbench for connecting other systems, setting up and maintaining that route is a project of its own.
Incredible does not require it. Where your site already has integration in place, that path is more robust and Incredible can use it. Where a task lives in the client, Incredible drives the client, so the day-to-day entry gets handled either way.
How does it learn a repeating proALPHA task?
You record it once. Walk through a production order, a time report, or a goods receipt with Incredible watching, and talk through each step. Incredible learns the sequence of steps rather than the pixel positions, so it repeats the task on its own.
In a machinery or metal-fabrication shop the same proALPHA entries run all day across dense screens, and recording them once removes the repetitive keying. Because the steps describe intent rather than screen coordinates, they hold up when proALPHA rearranges a form in an update.
What stops it from releasing the wrong order?
Incredible asks before anything that commits. Checking a stock figure or comparing planned to actual hours is read-only and runs straight through. Releasing a production order, posting a receipt, or sending a purchase order changes your records, so Incredible pauses, shows you the exact action, and waits for you to approve.
Every step is logged, so a production controller can see what was entered, against which order, and when. If a quantity or an article is wrong, you catch it before it commits.
Questions, answered
Is Incredible built by proALPHA?
No. Incredible is a separate assistant and is not built, certified, or endorsed by proALPHA. It operates the system the way your staff do, through the normal client.
Does it replace proALPHA?
No. proALPHA stays your system of record. Incredible handles the repetitive order entry, shop-floor reporting, and lookups people do inside it.
Do we need the Integration Workbench?
No. Incredible can drive the proALPHA client on screen. Where you already run integration through the Workbench, that path is more robust and Incredible can use it.
Will it survive a proALPHA update?
Recorded tasks follow the steps rather than fixed screen positions, so most updates do not break them. You can re-record a step if a form changes.
Can it report a whole shift of time at once?
Yes. It can enter a batch of time or material reports, pausing for your confirmation before the batch is posted.
Does it stay within our permissions?
Yes. It works inside the same proALPHA login as the person using it and cannot reach anything that account cannot.
