Customized technical solution and assistance.
Whether it is for 2D-cutting, 3-D cutting or tube and profile cutting applications, our software is highly customizable for specific technologies or uses, beyond post-processors. These applications are therefore particularly easy to integrate for a manufacturer or integrator. Combined to the technical performance of Alma’s software, this advantage offers a true added value to the manufacturer’s solution. In terms of service and support, Alma knows how to perfectly adapt to the manufacturer’s needs and constraints, in order to build a custom-made partnership.
Alma software offers customizable and productive applications to the manufacturer:

- Customizable user interface (menus, tool bars, insertion of a logo…).
- Post-processors developed on the basis of a proprietary Basic language allowing quick adjustment and any type of customization.
- Possibility for the manufacturer to develop or adapt its own “work” functionalities and to integrate them easily to the user interface.

- Programming tools allowing reduction of times and development costs, and offering great reactivity.
Custom-made partnership with manufacturers:
Alma has a large experience in the field of agreements with manufacturers, and proposes several levels of cooperation according to the degree of software customization and involvement wished by the manufacturer, for example:
