AI, Integrations, APIs, MCP Servers... we're striving to make Alpha Tracker even more open, connected, and accessible for our consultancy clients

Over the last week, we've had countless conversations with asbestos consultancies and water hygiene businesses wanting to make more of the data we store for them in Alpha Tracker.

We've always had a basic principle (which you can read on our website): data in Alpha Tracker is your data, stored in our database.  We've always tried hard to open up the system (securely, naturally) so that you have the right access to your data from wherever you need it.

Our focus now is on making it easier for you to integrate AI agents with your data.  We are using AI ourselves as we build the next generation of Alpha Tracker and related products and we know that many consultancy clients are also exploring the world of AI to improve productivity.
