Yes, absolutely! If Allocortech’s existing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) offerings do not meet your requirements, we will work with you to determine the best path forward. We consider our intellectual property library and in-house knowledge to be our strongest assets.

Our products are designed around the most common communications protocols but we can accommodate customers’ specific needs as well. For prototype purposes, we can work with you to determine if there are in-harness or other adapter solutions to ensure your vehicle arrives on time and on budget. For production vehicles, we are happy to discuss creating specific variants of products, or selling the bare boards, for further integration and modification.

Allocortech prides itself on having an open software development kit (SDK) that allows you to customize the software to your needs. Additionally, with appropriate NDAs in place, we can participate in system/vehicle integration allowing customers to leverage our software expertise for better on-time delivery. Allocortech also has a large and growing selection of integrations available in our SDK that is available for licensing.

Allocortech is happy to work with you to repackage any piece of electronics, ours or otherwise, to fit into your weight and size requirements. We also have experience in weatherizing solutions by repackaging and selecting environmental connectors.

Allocortech offers both a work-for-hire arrangement, whereby you own the resulting IP except for our existing background IP (for which you would obtain a license); and a shared license model, whereby we can negotiate reduced costs for including new modules into our SDK.

Allocortech’s future roadmap includes certification to DO-160 and DO-178 standards. We design our products to align with validation and verification requirements in the mechanical, electrical, and software domains. Where possible, we select third party software that has some level of support for certification. Allocortech is waiting for a pilot customer to inform the specific design assurance levels and other requirements before we commence on a formal certification program.

Yes! One of Allocortech’s differentiators is that all of our platforms and source code are open for you to modify as needed. Our software license is fairly permissive in that we allow reuse of the SDK as long as it’s used on, or for support of, our products. One time purchase of our software is an option, with an annual fee required only if basic software maintenance is desired.

Yes. Allocortech products contain US assembled printed circuit boards and all final assembly and testing is performed in Virginia, USA. However, as with all suppliers in the integrated global supply chain, certain mechanical and the majority of piece electrical components are sourced from overseas. We can provide detailed country of origin information on request.

No. Allocortech is a solutions provider for powering all types of vehicles. We can work with customers to develop a vehicle's entire propulsion system (sans motors). We also have motor partners that we work with to provide a complete propulsion system with the best possible SWaP-C.

Yes. We have several international customers and have developed a robust export process to make it easy for customers to receive products and support from our team.

For new customers, we will provide a limited specification review free of charge to ensure that our products fit the intended application before accepting a purchase order. To be transparent about costs without increasing the unit price, we typically will bundle a small support contract in with the first units to support integration activities.
