01 — Local economy

Business in Linz

The voestalpine steelworks on the Danube dominates Linz's industrial east side, and the neighbouring Chemiepark Linz produces fertilisers and industrial chemicals. Upper Austria around the city is dense with machine builders and automotive suppliers, such as Rosenbauer fire engines in Leonding, Engel injection-moulding machines in Schwertberg and BMW's engine and e-drive plant in Steyr, while the Tabakfabrik houses tech and creative firms.

Where software helps: Metalworking and machinery suppliers around Linz quote and produce to order with steel prices and energy surcharges that shift monthly, so job costing, material certificates and price escalation clauses need tight tracking.

02 — Industries

ERP and AI for steel, engineering and chemical businesses in Linz

What we would build first for the industries Linz is known for.

Steel & metals

ERP
Stock by grade, size, thickness and warehouse; weight-based pricing with cutting and loading charges; part-load dispatch; and credit limits checked before an order is confirmed. This is the problem our own SteelERP product was built to solve.
AI agent
A quoting agent that reads enquiries from WhatsApp or email (“20 tonnes TMT 12 mm, delivery Thursday”), checks free stock and the day's rate, and drafts the quotation for a salesperson to send.
Software for steel & metals

Engineering & machinery

ERP
Make-to-order and engineer-to-order projects tracked from enquiry to commissioning, with multi-level bills of materials, drawing revisions, subcontracted machining and spare-parts sales in one system.
AI agent
A spares assistant that identifies parts from a photo or serial number, checks stock and price, and answers dealer and customer queries on WhatsApp or email.
Software for engineering & machinery

Chemicals & plastics

ERP
Formula-based production with yield and loss tracking, batch and container-level stock, hazardous-goods documentation, and pricing that follows raw-material costs.
AI agent
An agent that answers customer questions on specifications, safety data sheets and order status, and routes anything technical to a chemist.
Software for chemicals & plastics

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Linz: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Linz?

Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Linz; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.

How do time zones work between Linz and Jaipur?

Jaipur is 4 h 30 min ahead of Linz on standard time, and 3 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 13:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 4 h 30 min to 5 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.

Can your AI agents talk to customers in German and English?

Yes. Current language models handle German and English well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it is unsure about to your team.

What would a first project look like for a steel business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For steel & metals that is often grade, size and location-wise stock and weight-based rates & price lists. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
