We're a small UK team building workforce software the honest way
No investors to feed, no growth targets to hit at your expense.
Just a product we're proud of and a price that reflects what it actually costs to run.
"Software built to never stop running or improving. That's the whole mission."
Built by people who've done the job
No consultants, no MBAs guessing what shift workers need. We've been in the industry we build for.
No lock-in contracts
Month to month. If we're not earning it, you can leave. That's the deal that keeps us honest.
One platform, not six
Scheduling, payroll, compliance, comms - stop paying for multiple tools that don't talk to each other.
Pricing you can screenshot
What you see is what you pay. No asterisks, no "starting from," no surprise calls from sales.
About Alpaka
Phill Rodgers has been building software since 2014. What became Alpaka started as a set of separate tools built for different clients - then got combined into a single, redeployable base product. That's still how it works today: an off-the-shelf platform that can also build and host bespoke functionality on request.
Along the way, that software has formed the backbone of private business applications and management systems for clients including Adobe, NFU Mutual, Vodafone, Telefónica and Philips.
Alpaka is a small UK-based team, backed by international freelancers - no big office, no commute, just people who get the work done.
Thousands of freelancers, team members and small businesses around the world use Alpaka to solve problems and save money.

Hey Wilson, come here.
You see this? People use this app to say that they're arriving at work, and going home from work. You don't have a job.
So you've never done it right? Can you but I'll tell you what your PIN code is 1234. And when you're at work, you're going to say, enter. So can you have a go there?
And then at the end of the day, tell me before you do it, what do you think you're going to do at the end of the day when it's time to go home?
Excellent. Oh, that's a good guess.
Brilliant. And so you were only here for a minute. So I guess there's no wages.
Clear off
Can an 8 year old clock in and out?
We roped in family during lockdown to prove a point: if an 8-year-old can clock in without training, your team won't have any issues.
PIN is still an option if there is a legitimate reason to not use your face.
Why our customers stick with Alpaka
Real teams, real support, no hard sell.
Alpaka has been awesome, allowing all our employees to plan their work effectively and see where their team members are, making the team totally transparent to each other.

Forever Savvy
Alpaka is such a great tool since it allows for so many aspects to be controlled from only one place. While my colleagues can deal with anything timesheet-related, I can work on the digital marketing side and somehow synchronise these areas. This means that I can create email campaigns and templates, sort them, plan them and also even have an Updates page shown to everyone within the team all inside the same app.

I used alpaka to manage 10 remote working employees. It was very easy to use and I could see their appointments and schedules at a glance.

I cant recommend Alpaka enough, having worked with many systems during my career in care, i find that working with one system that amalgamates what can be three or more systems, saves so much time and resource. The user friendly and accessible formats means not only the system itself but exports are easy to navigate.
You get the owner on the phone. Phill's always on hand, and genuinely acts on suggestions as our business grows.

I use Alpaka to manage how we schedule employees, and it's does everything you'd expect - managing hours, holidays etc. With HR software, there's always a niggle in there somewhere which makes you feel like you're compromising or having to do everything "their way" (and I've tried a few solutions over the years!) Alpaka is the first platform where I've not felt like that. That's worth five stars alone.
