Oberalp uses the advantages of Alpin’s long-term document storage with d.3ecm Suite

Bolzano – Oberalp AG, a long-established company in the mountain sports sector with headquarters in Bolzano and eight locations across Europe and North America, is gradually introducing d.velop AG’s d.3ecm system for long-term document storage. The implementation is being carried out in cooperation with Alpin GmbH, a DMS specialist based in Bolzano. Friedrich Raffeiner, Head of Administration at Oberalp, explains: “With Alpin GmbH, we have found a competent local partner who brings the necessary expertise from years of experience to further improve the flow of information within our company.”

Optimizing information flow with state-of-the-art technology.

After transferring contract documents from the previous system, d.3ecm is now used as the central company archive and process platform. Alpin implemented the filing of all incoming invoices by integrating the system with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. The solution is supported by automated invoice processing and a custom approval workflow tailored to Oberalp AG. This process significantly shortens processing times, increases transparency, eliminates transport and idle times, reduces costs, and ensures compliance with payment deadlines.

“After nearly two years of successful collaboration with Alpin, the sub-projects we’ve implemented have led to a significant optimisation of our administrative processes,” says Friedrich Raffeiner with satisfaction.
