Alpha Technology is a small Hong Kong-based IT services company that builds custom software for businesses, operating through two subsidiaries: Techlution and NSL. Alpha's core offerings are custom cloud-based CRM and ERP systems for industries like real estate, carpark management, and social services, and AI-powered optical character recognition (AI-OCR) software that extracts and processes text from scanned documents such as invoices, receipts, and ID forms. Alpha also builds web and mobile applications and provides ongoing technical support. Alpha makes money through two revenue streams: one-time project fees for custom system builds, and recurring fees including monthly maintenance charges on completed systems and per-document usage fees for AI-OCR. The AI-OCR model charges approximately HK$0.57 per document processed, making revenue grow as customers increase document volumes. Alpha sells primarily through a direct sales team and customer referrals, and uses a mix of in-house engineers and outsourced vendors to deliver projects. Alpha's growth strategy focuses on expanding AI-OCR into financial services and insurance in Hong Kong and into Southeast Asian markets, and on a joint research initiative with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to develop a proprietary AI training architecture aimed at compressing custom AI model development time from months to days.
