1Venda is a software company. We build, host and protect the platform; our partners put their brand on it and offer it to their ecosystem. 1Venda has powered Tickito in Botswana since 2023 and has been founder-built since 2019. It is the engine the whole 1Group runs on.
1Venda's role is the software
We own the ticketing, cashless, coupon and marketplace platform and we provide, brand, host and support it. Hosting, upgrades, firewall, security and software support are ours, and so is the record: zero security incidents since launch. Partners bring the ecosystem and the brand. IP stays with 1Venda; data belongs to the partnership and is exportable.
2019
The founder starts building the platform and, in December, co-founds Tickito with The Voice Newspaper and Contrast Marketing as its first operator.
2023
After the COVID pause, Tickito restarts on the platform in Botswana and grows into the country’s second-largest ticketing company by volume.
2025
1Venda v1 is complete. Work begins on v2, the automation release: work orders, print automation, finance and marketing in one admin app.
2026
The platform is offered to partners as a white-label product, 1Connecta prepares to launch, and 1Paya, 1Prop and 1Travela are being built on the same engine.
Each company lifts the others
A delegate who registers for a conference through 1Connecta already has a wallet that works at a 1Venda-ticketed festival. A traveller booked through 1Travela is a customer 1Prop can serve. 1Paya settles all of it. For a partner that means one brand, one sign-in and one ledger across more and more of the things its ecosystem does, and a growing pool of users who already know how to pay.

What we hold to
Fairness at the gate
The gate is where the money goes missing. Every ticket is serialised, every scan is counted, and the organiser sees the same numbers the operator sees. Whoever sold it.
Trust
Ticketing is about selling trust. Buyers trust the ticket, promoters trust the report, partners trust the software. We earn each one on the night, with a reconciled report before the lights go off.
Security without excuses
Zero incidents since launch is not luck. It is a core nobody can reach, a web layer built to be attacked, and a team that answers within the hour.
A new country gets its own name, site and gateway
The platform is white-label by design. A partner receives a branded server, admin, front end, Cashless Manager and scanner app, with the brand on every printed item and every message. Customers never need to know that 1Venda is behind it. That is how one tested codebase becomes a ticketing company in each market.
The team that built and runs Tickito
1Venda is run by the people who built the platform and who still run Tickito’s gates, print days and reconciliations. That is deliberate. Every feature in the admin app was added because someone on the team needed it at an event, and every service level on the platform page is one the team has had to meet itself. When a partner calls support on an event night, they reach people who have stood at a turnstile with a scanner in their hand.
