Chapter 01 · Origin

Built from inside the problem.

01 — The mess

Allocentra started when our founder was managing IT operations — juggling multiple dashboards, a PSA tab, a patching tool, and notifications that never stopped. None of the tools shared data. All of them charged per device.

02 — Sandton, 2026

Founded in Sandton in 2026, we had our first production customer in July 2026: our founding partner, Zezwe ICT.

03 — Still shipping

We still take support calls. We still ship every week.

Chapter 02 · Principles

How we work.

Four rules that decide what ships — and what doesn’t.

Centred on the user

Every feature has to answer “does this make a technician’s day better?” If we can’t say yes, it doesn’t ship.

Less, but better

We’d rather ship five features at 10/10 than fifty at 6/10. Shelfware is disrespectful.

Calm software

No urgency theatre. The product should feel like it’s working for you, not at you.

Pricing without traps

Published prices. No data egress fees.

Chapter 03 · People

The team.

Small on purpose. Close to the product. Close to the customers.
