About us

More room for what people do best.

Our mission

Make work easier. Keep possibilities open.

We build a workspace that supports people in their daily work and helps organisations act with confidence. We bring product, design, engineering and operations together early, test ideas on real tasks and refine them through feedback. Open technologies and control over data provide the foundation; we consider rollout and ongoing operations from the start.

Our team

Different perspectives. A shared purpose.

Product, design, engineering and operations come together at Autarq. We start with people’s daily work and take ideas through to practical use.

Our values

What guides us.

Our approach to decisions, collaboration and our product.

People first.

Technology should make work easier. For every solution, we ask who it helps and which task becomes simpler.

Stay open.

We learn from each other and question our assumptions. Open standards keep future possibilities open.

Communicate clearly.

We share knowledge, raise questions early and explain our decisions. That includes being clear about limitations.

Care in practice.

A good idea needs to work in daily use. We focus on clear interfaces, useful integration and reliable operations.
