O.C.O: Scaling Global Operations with Alcove

O.C.O. Technology has unrivaled demand in the market. To keep up with this demand and maintain confidence in their management of the carbon credit inventory, the team needed a centralized quality assurance system that enabled them to engage with market stakeholders in an unprecedented, trust-building way. 

“Before Alcove, managing the carbon accounting within our international operations was a mountain to climb. Now the weight is lifted. We can focus on growing the business.”

About O.C.O. Technology

O.C.O Technology is a world leader in Accelerated Carbonation Technology (ACT). They convert industrial waste and CO2 into a carbon‑negative limestone aggregate. Their approach is a true carbon removal and their credits have been certified by Puro.Earth since 2021. The company operates three UK facilities and is expanding globally to scale their solution. 

Alcove was chosen as O.C.O’s partner on their journey to global scale. 

The Challenge 

O.C.O needed to meet the market demand for its carbon removal. Though the team leveraged Microsoft Dynamics to collect data across their process, this raw data required substantial work to organize and transform it into audit-ready spreadsheets. This made tasks like generating LCAs, or preparing for audits slow and frustrating, with full audit packages taking weeks to develop. With three facilities and an annual audit cycle, the team waded through manual processes, taking weeks to develop an audit package. 

The core issue was the lack of a digital monitoring, reporting, and verification system that would scale with the team. Without it, compliance tasks were fragmented, time-consuming, and error-prone. The manual process also limited visibility into projected credit inventory, making it harder to plan proposals, track transactions, and respond to buyers.

As demand for carbon removal grew, market complexity increased, audits became more frequent, and O.C.O finalized expansion plans, the stakes got higher. More facilities meant more credits, more audits, and more data to manage. Relying on spreadsheets wasn’t just inefficient—it was a blocker to scale.

O.C.O needed a system that could:

• Handle complex workflows with API access
• Speed up the audit preparation and review processes
• Provide a single source of truth 

Without a change, they risked bottlenecks, delays in credit issuance, and missed business opportunities.

The Solution 

O.C.O adopted Alcove to replace their manual systems with a centralized, digital platform. Alcove’s Developer Cloud provides: 

1. Tailor-made dMRV and compliance workflows
2. A single source-of-truth for carbon credits
3. Unrivaled connective tissue to market stakeholders
4. On-platform auditing, dramatically reducing timeline from audit package submission to credit issuance 

Alcove tailored the platform to match O.C.O’s specific operations. The flexibility to adapt the system to their operational needs, combined with on-platform auditing, made Alcove a clear fit for long-term scale. 

The Results 

Alcove enables the O.C.O. carbon team to manage 40–50 active credit inquiries with confidence. With a single source of truth for inventory and data management, the team spends far less time on data processing and more on 8 and 9 figure opportunities.
