MODERN MOBILITY

Accelerating software delivery for vehicles, fleets, and beyond.

In a world where mobility is defined by code, Modernize.io empowers manufacturers and suppliers to deliver software defined innovation at the speed of digital transformation, securely, continuously, and confidently. We are hands on engineering teams who understand complex mobility problems and can deliver tactical, project-oriented solutions.

CHALLENGES

SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle)
The transition to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) is challenged by the shift from fragmented legacy hardware to centralized zonal architectures that consolidate computing and require Tier-2 suppliers to deliver scalable, updatable software stacks supporting software-controlled

E/E platforms and OTA capabilities.
Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates Over-The-Air (OTA) updates face challenges in securely managing both FOTA (Firmware-Over- The-Air) and SOTA (Software-Over-The-Air) processes across fragmented supplier ecosystems. Ensuring ISO 21434-compliant delivery, integrity verification, and full auditability of update pipelines is essential to prevent exploits and maintain vehicle safety throughout the release lifecycle.

CI/CD Workflows
In automotive software development, crafting CI/CD workflows that seamlessly integrate with the V-Model presents a formidable challenge, demanding reproducible, safety-compliant builds that adhere to ASPICE and ISO 26262 standards while wrestling with flaky tests, toolchain variability, and the need for ironclad audit trails to secure FOTA/SOTA release validation and certification.

OPPORTUNITIES

Modernize.io helps OEMs and suppliers optimize the way vehicle software is built, tested, and delivered, bridging the gap between traditional engineering and software-driven mobility.

End-to-End Release Orchestration
Streamline fragmented development pipe lines into unified, automated CI/CD workflows spanning embedded firmware, cloud services, and OTA delivery.

Compliance by Design
Embed ASPICE, ISO 26262, and UNECE R155/R156 compliance directly into workflows to ensure every release is secure, auditable, and certifiable.

Integrated Collaboration & Insight
Break down cross-tier fragmentation by connecting OEMs and Tier 1/2 suppliers through unified, data-driven workflows. Combining traceable collaboration with AI-assisted analytics and observability to enhance transparency, reduce integration friction, and continuously improve build quality across the entire vehicle software lifecycle.

GLOSSARY 

ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level)
Higher ASIL = stricter testing, documentation, and independence.

ISO 26262
The global standard for functional safety in automotive systems. Defines how to design, test, and validate safety-critical components throughout the development lifecycle.

ISO/SAE 21434
The cybersecurity engineering standard for road vehicles. Requires Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment (TARA) to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities across the vehicle supply chain.

TARA (Threat Analysis and Risk Assessment)
A structured process for identifying and prioritizing cybersecurity threats in vehicles, ensuring risks are mitigated early in development.

UNECE WP.29
United Nations regulation requiring automakers to maintain certified cybersecurity (CSMS) and software update management systems for type approval in most global markets.
