About

In Alan, data models drive everything. Its unique application modeling language lets you write one model that generates both the database design and the user interface. That makes it a fast way to create an application and to iterate on it, without sacrificing data correctness. A dedicated team has developed Alan continuously since 2011, and it has been used to build powerful yet agile systems for multinationals: manufacturing execution systems (MES), ERP modules and specialized custom applications.

Features

The platform has more features than we have been able to document. These are some of them.

Bug-free by design

Applications are free of bugs by design, so no unit testing is required.

One application language

Model data, calculations and transformations, numerical types, authorization, procedures and workflow in a single language.

Windows, Linux and macOS

Develop on any of the three, with our tooling and extensions for several code editors.

Generated and custom GUIs

The generated GUI gives access to all functionality and is easily customized with annotations on the model. A custom GUI in Alan does something very specific, without losing Alan's full error checking.

Supported by every GUI

Authentication, internationalization, live data and independent platform updates.

System interfaces

Our system interface language lets you describe a system interface as one integrated whole, and map it safely to an application model, in both directions.

Kjerner

Kjerner took over the development of Alan from M‑industries at the beginning of 2019. M‑industries built Alan to help international businesses such as Tata Steel and Hydro improve their data quality and upgrade their legacy systems. Kjerner runs fully on Alan itself as well: for accounting, planning and more. We are based near the campus of Delft University of Technology.
