Frequently asked questions about ALIX

Quick answers for manufacturers evaluating manufacturing software.

Which ALIX plan includes lot and serial number traceability?

Every ALIX plan includes full lot and serial number traceability, starting with Essential. Traceability is built into the platform, not sold as a paid add-on, so you can trace materials from receiving through production to shipment.

Can shop floor workers use ALIX on a tablet?

Yes. ALIX runs in any modern browser, including on shop floor tablets, with a production interface anyone on the team can learn in about 20 minutes — tracking operations, punching in and out, and scanning barcodes directly from the floor.

Where is ALIX data hosted?

ALIX data can be hosted in Canada or in the United States, according to your preference. All plans include 256-bit encryption, daily backups, DDoS protection and a dedicated database that isolates your data.

Does ALIX include MRP (material requirements planning)?

Yes. MRP is included in every plan. ALIX calculates material needs automatically from your sales orders and production plans, generates shortage reports in real time, and can group purchase orders by supplier.

What integrations does ALIX support?

ALIX integrates natively with Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, Zoho Analytics, and Zoho Forms, connects to Shopify and WooCommerce for e-commerce and offers a REST API. Details are on the integrations page.

What is the difference between included features, add-ons, and higher-tier features?

Included features come with your plan at no extra cost. Add-ons, such as IIoT monitoring, are optional paid modules you can activate when you need them. Higher-tier features unlock automatically when you move up a plan. Full details on the pricing page.
