Case Study: OERCA achieves rapid deployment of an industry‑standard marine mammal care app with Alpha Software

Responsive Aquarium and Zoological Management System Speeds and Improves Animal Healthcare in the Field

OERCA, developed with Alpha Anywhere for marine mammal care operators, was created after Ocean Embassy — a marine mammal care and facility management company — found its Microsoft Access dolphin‑care system inadequate. The team needed a modern, mobile solution with robust reporting, charting, long‑term scientific data collection, secure data integration, and fast time‑to‑market.

Alpha Anywhere developer Steve Workings delivered a full responsive animal‑healthcare app in six months, leveraging rapid development, MS SQL compatibility, strong security, built‑in AJAX/JavaScript and easy third‑party integration. The system was quickly deployed in research/rescue operations, small zoological facilities and a major theme park, and is now becoming the industry standard for marine mammal care with plans to expand into aquariums, aviaries, turtle care and terrestrial zoos.
