About us

We are technology orchestrators

Yodiwo was founded in 2015 by a mix of connectivity industry veterans and talented IT engineers. But the roots of our solutions date way back.

Since the birth of remote IoT, Yodiwo’s team has worked with leading electronic device manufacturers and system integrators, and understood the need for more user friendly, all-in-one tools for infrastructure management, readily adaptable to the diverse needs of end-customers. 

We got together to produce more human-centered systems that give users the power of control, simulation, and prediction for end-to-end assets and space management

With the sustainable growth of businesses and organisations in mind, we have built an interoperability ecosystem, helping everyone do more with their existing assets, while their teams remain connected and up to speed.

Core values

Environmentalism

We believe that green responsibility concerns all organisations, including our own. Yodiwo’s energy efficiency solutions are first applied internally, ensuring expert results for our clients.

Diversity

There’s strength in difference. Our solutions, as much as our team are all about combined strength!

Human approaches

We maintain Industry 5.0 principles. Our tools are always meant to engage and provide data-driven confidence to the real agents of smart organisations – their people.

Creativity

We value our team members’ ability to think outside the box and always a step further.

Flexibility

We support remote and hybrid working models to serve diverse workforce needs. Our solutions help organisations do the same, staying connected no matter where they are. 

Evolution

We believe in the evolution of our team as well as our technologies. Yodiwo has also partnered with some of the most renowned academic researchers in Europe to always bring state-of-the-art software to our clients. 

We maintain a multifaceted team, to discipline the IoT diversity

So, if you like working in a multicultural environment, feel free to apply for a job.
