Jidoka—‘automation with a human touch’— get software that’s built to last, avoid technical debt and gain the advantage of ongoing innovation, keeping your systems modern and high-performing.
Discover how you can break free from technical debt and legacy constraints with Jidoka—empowering you to automate smarter, deliver higher quality, and stay future-ready through continuous modernisation.
You might feel stuck in a costly cycle—constantly replacing ageing systems with new ones that eventually become outdated themselves. It’s a frustrating loop that slows you down and limits your ability to adapt quickly.
That’s where Jidoka comes in. Born from experience across 100+ projects, it combines Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), DevOps, and real-world lessons to help you break the cycle. With Jidoka, you gain a smarter, future-proof approach to building software—one that evolves with your business, not against it.

You’ll see your business requirements brought to life as models—capturing your user flows, interfaces, requirements, data structures, and logic—all in one place.
From your models, templates are created or reused in your preferred modern tech stack—automatically generating most of the requirements. This means you get a tailored solution faster, with less development time and consistently high quality that aligns with your business needs.
Jidoka Cogs: Model-Driven Engineering Builds Momentum for Enterprise DevOps.
You’re not just replacing your legacy system with more of the same. While the external-facing elements—like the UI and APIs—are rebuilt to closely match what your users already know, the internal architecture is redesigned to meet your evolving needs. This gives you the best of both worlds: continuity on the outside, and flexibility and modernisation on the inside.
As your organisation grows, it’s natural to end up with a mix of disconnected systems—some digital, some manual—each developed in isolation over time. While this patchwork can create challenges, it also presents an opportunity: the lack of tight integration often makes it easier to introduce change and improve how everything works together.
Spreadsheets are widely used across organisations because they’re easy to start with and offer powerful features for managing and analysing data. But over time, you may find your team heavily reliant on them—until they become embedded in critical business operations, often beyond what they were designed for.
