About
A distributor that stays focused on four products and the dealers who sell them.
Carrera Software is a specialist distributor based in Irene, Pretoria. We find enterprise software built for organisations with 500 or more computers, price it for South Africa, and distribute it through our authorised dealer network.
Who we are
Carrera Software is a specialist distributor of enterprise-level software solutions in South Africa. We identify world-class software products from around the globe and make them available to the South African market through our established network of authorised dealers.
Our focus is on sourcing innovative, best-in-breed solutions that address the real needs of modern enterprises — from mobile device management and cybersecurity to remote access and security analytics.
We believe in building strong partnerships — both with our global vendors and our local dealer network. By providing exceptional support, competitive pricing, and deep product expertise, we ensure that our channel partners have everything they need to succeed.
How it works
Choose
We look for products built for large fleets and already proven elsewhere. Miradore from Finland; Webroot, Splashtop and Abstract Security from the USA.
Localise
We set a price for the South African market and provide installation and local support.
Distribute
Authorised dealers sell, install and support the product.
Two things we hold to
A short list
Four products, for organisations with 500 computers or more. A longer list would mean knowing each one less well.
A local price
Each product is priced for the South African market.
Carrera Software has distributed enterprise software in South Africa since 2000.
A note from Dean Barkhuizen
I have worked in South Africa's computer industry since 1986. I spent nineteen years as managing director of Mustek, where I founded Mecer Computers, and I have run Carrera since 2007.
We carry four products because we would rather know four well than forty badly. A product earns its place on the list only when our dealers can sell, install and support it properly.
If you look after 500 computers or more, tell us what you run and what is giving you trouble. We will tell you honestly whether one of our four products fits.
