Centreville Tech

What Centreville Tech does

Centreville Tech LLC is a privately held, founder-led IT services and software firm established in 2015 by Josh Lambert and headquartered at 38 Court Square West, Centreville, Alabama. The company operates with a 1–10 person team and delivers custom software development (Laravel), API and EDI integration, mobile app development on the Appcelerator Titanium SDK, enterprise WordPress build and maintenance, and private LTE/5G network deployment. Its core proprietary products include Rapid5GS, an open-source LTE/5G packet core; DNA SAMMIE, a freight visibility platform with AI-predicted arrival dates and exception detection; and TheEdgeMile.com, an equipment marketplace.

The firm has built vertically integrated telecom capabilities through Alabama Lightwave, a rural ISP operating owned fiber and wireless infrastructure, and through the 2024 launch of Lightwave LINK, a consumer-facing mobile app integrated with regional media partners such as WBRC FOX6. Equipment sales are enabled via partnerships with Nokia and Baicells, and enterprise software deployments span DNA Supply Chain Solutions, Command Alkon, CAI Software, CareAR/Xerox, and Menards. The company also serves startups, nonprofits, and event/media venues including Innovation Depot, Haven Today, The Bibb Voice, and the Coca-Cola Amphitheater.

Revenue is generated through a mix of project-based professional services, managed private-network contracts, recurring WordPress and ISP subscriptions, equipment marketplace transactions, and enterprise platform deployments. The business model emphasizes multi-channel monetization across logistics, manufacturing, government, media, nonprofit, startup, and telecom/ISP segments, with founder Josh Lambert holding governance influence as chair of the TiDev board overseeing the Appcelerator/Titanium open-source mobile ecosystem.
