Discover the real potential of your business and grow with confidence.
Your strategy partner for SMEs in Zurich
Daily operations rarely leave room to think about the bigger picture — yet that’s where your real potential lives. We’re the strategic partner who helps you find that perspective and turn it into smarter decisions and steady growth.
ABOUT ALPYME
Most business owners are so focused on running their company that they rarely get the chance to step back and look at it as a whole. This is as it should be, as daily operations take priority, and that’s exactly where an outside perspective becomes most valuable: spotting the opportunities, clarifying the bigger picture, and mapping out the growth that’s already within reach.
That’s where ALPYME comes in.
We’re a Zurich-based consultancy built for small and mid-sized businesses. We sit down with you, take the time to understand your business in depth, give you an honest assessment, and help you define exactly what to do next and how to progress.
We bring the analytical rigour and structured methodology of large-firm consulting, delivered in plain language and grounded in operational reality. Every recommendation is built on your numbers and shaped around what’s genuinely achievable for your company.
Based in Zurich. Working across Switzerland, Germany, and Southern Europe.
How We Help Businesses Grow
A clear, proven process — from understanding your business to making growth actually happen.
01 — Understand
We build a complete 360º picture of your business, hearing your needs and input, company history and culture, and analysing financials, operations, team, products, pricing, customers, competitors, and market evolution. We consider everything needed to understand where the client truly stands and where the opportunities are.
02 — Benchmark
We measure your company against market data, sector-specific studies, and proven best practices — identifying the real opportunities and risks. This external lens is what turns raw understanding into the foundation for a solid plan.
03 — Build the plan
We turn strategy into direction: mapping every possible action, weighing strategic options, trade-offs, and dependencies, and shaping it all into a structured plan. Projects are prioritised by impact, resources, and dependencies — always considering your financial capacity and market readiness. On top of that we work agile and close to the client, so you move forward with confidence.
04 — Make it happen
We stay involved through execution: coordinating, tracking progress, and unblocking decisions — while measuring results so the plan can adapt quickly when reality shifts. We make sure strategy translates into results, side by side to support you further whenever you need it.
We work with SMEs at any stage and at any level of involvement you need. Just get in touch — we’ll adapt our approach to your specific goals.
What We Do
The work is organised into five areas. Strategy, operations, and finance are the core — where most engagements begin and where the biggest value tends to sit. Technology and marketing build on and extend that foundation when you’re ready.
Strategy & Direction
Set the course — then turn it into action.
Set the course — then turn it into action.
We start by understanding exactly where your business stands, define where it should go, and build the plan to get there — including the people and culture side of change.
Business Diagnosis
A fast, structured assessment across performance, operations, team, customers, and market position. We identify what’s working well and where the biggest opportunities lie. The starting point for any serious engagement.
Strategy & Direction
We help you weigh your strategic options and choose the most promising path forward: growth, pricing, new services, geographic expansion, or a shift in business model. Clear, actionable, and financially grounded.
Project & Initiative Management
We define initiatives, set priorities, structure projects, and track that things actually get done. Structure without bureaucracy.
Change Management
Every strategic or operational shift asks people to work differently. We manage that transition — explaining the why, building buy-in, and establishing new habits — because people are what make transformation stick.
Operations
Make the business run better — processes, people, and systems.
Operations is the engine of your business.
We look at how work flows — across services, teams, geographies, and verticals — and redesign how things run, then put the right tools in place to support it.
Operational Improvement
We map and simplify your processes across services, teams, verticals, and regions. Clarify ownership and build the operational foundation that makes better decisions possible at every level.
Transformation & Implementation
Once priorities are clear, we structure and run the change: leading projects, coordinating teams, and implementing systems on the ground — on-site when needed.
Odoo ERP & CRM
Odoo is one of the most practical ERPs for Swiss SMEs: affordable, modular, and powerful. We implement and configure it around your real operations — sales, CRM, accounting, inventory, HR, and more — so your team adopts it easily and you gain full visibility across the business.
Finance
Strategic financial leadership — without the full-time cost.
Make the business run better
A Fractional CFO gives you sharp, experienced financial leadership exactly when you need it — at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Fractional CFO
We act as your part-time Chief Financial Officer — joining management meetings, reviewing your numbers, and turning financial data into decisions.
Financial Planning & Forecasting
Rolling 12-month cash flow forecasts, annual budgets, and multi-scenario models. The financial visibility you need to make confident calls on hiring, investment, pricing, and growth.
Financing & Banking Support
Preparing for a credit line, a cantonal bank loan, or an investor conversation? We structure the documentation, prepare the pitch, and support negotiations — so you walk in with clean numbers and a clear story.
Marketing & Growth
Attract the right clients — consistently and predictably.
Marketing & Growth is about building a reliable system to attract clients, so your pipeline keeps flowing alongside referrals and your personal network.
Marketing Strategy &
We define your positioning, identify your most valuable segments, and build a message that lands: who you’re talking to, what makes you different, and why a client should choose you.
Go-to-Market Planning
Launching a new service, entering a new region, or targeting a new type of client? We build the plan: channels, timing, pricing angle, sales approach, and KPIs. Practical and right-sized for your business.
Marketing Automation
We set up automated sequences for lead capture, nurturing, and CRM integration — so your pipeline keeps moving even when you’re focused on delivery.
Digital Presence & Lead Generation
LinkedIn, Google, your website: these work for you when you’re not in the room. We set up the essentials that generate inbound interest — a clear message, a smooth contact flow, and content that positions you as the expert.
CRM & Sales Process
We implement your CRM, define your sales stages, and build the habits and reporting that turn conversations into closed deals.
Technology
The technical layer that supports everything else.
Technology is infrastructure.
It should work, stay secure, and support the business smoothly. We handle the technical transitions and implementations that benefit from external expertise.
IT Migration
Switching operating systems, migrating your Microsoft environment, or consolidating tools across the company. We manage the full transition — planning, execution, and staff onboarding — so the business keeps running throughout.
Cybersecurity
We assess your exposure, put practical protective measures in place, and train your team — aligned with Swiss nLPD data protection requirements.
AI & Automation
From AI chatbots and document automation to intelligent workflows, we find where automation creates real value and implement it. Practical, not experimental. Most projects pay for themselves within 3 months.
