An Ode to the Alpine IQ Journey
Alpine IQ started as a data management company at its inception. Focused on being the nexus for regulated industries, brothers Nick and West Paschal, alongside partner Shahzil Abid, sought to create a system to make retail data clean and actionable for customers on their platform.
Significant gaps in the tech infrastructure existed for regulated markets at this time. The communication platforms and privacy-first, medical-focused tech available seemingly forced businesses to operate around their structure, not the other way around. Organically, they wanted to change this.
A Single, Powerful Platform
In February 2020, the Paschal brothers and Abid launched Alpine IQ, disrupting the market with a transparent approach to data management and tackling customer issues head-on with their service.
Alpine IQ’s market footprint has dramatically evolved since its launch, growing from one customer to 3,800+ locations in just 36 months.
Now, Alpine IQ fuels retail infrastructure on a large scale, transforming its data platform into an entire tool suite. This effectively bridges the gap between retailers and their customers that existed when it first entered the market.
Looking ahead, this growth journey has poised the Alpine IQ system to serve retailers beyond regulated markets. Trusted to create the ultimate customer experience, driving revenue and increasing retention with a single, powerful platform.
