Questions
Questions about RODMENA
Where our platforms come from, who they are for, and how we work with clients.
Where do RODMENA’s platforms come from?
They come from about 20 years of engineering by our founder, Farshid Ashouri, together with open-source work and a decade of planning. RODMENA LIMITED was incorporated in 2025 to bring that work to customers. The products fit together because much of what we list is the core platform, the shared services they run on.
Which products lead?
Highway, Vellum, Provenance, Ledger and AgentBus lead the range. Highway is the durable workflow engine we are building as the foundation for enterprise applications. Vellum and Provenance are complete products that run on almost all of the RODMENA platform and show best what it is for. Ledger is a hosted double-entry ledger for money, credits and stock. AgentBus gives coding agents real email inboxes that they share with the people supervising them.
Who is RODMENA for?
Organisations that need to keep data in the UK, avoid depending on a single technology vendor, and run processes that can be governed and audited. That includes public-sector bodies and regulated businesses.
Who are your clients?
We do not discuss our clients or revenue in public. We share them with buyers privately, during their evaluation, under whatever confidentiality terms the buyer needs.
Why is the site in so many languages, including Scots, Cornish and Manx?
Partners and investors outside the United Kingdom can read about us in their own language. We produce the editions with RODMENA L10n, our own localisation product, and they double as a test of it in real use. What we learn from the editions, which cost us little, goes back into the product.
What happens if the director is unavailable?
Our platforms document themselves in our knowledge base, our continuous integration builds and records the releases, and credentials are held in Haven. If the director cannot work, a person holding a power of attorney can also reach them. Our Business Continuity Policy sets this out. The team grows as our work does.
Where is data held?
We are a UK company. Our platform runs on servers we operate in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, all within the UK and the EEA, and it is not locked in to any cloud platform. Vellum handles the most sensitive data. Its primary database is in the United Kingdom, its encrypted standby replica in Germany and its encrypted backups in France. Customer deployments are set per agreement and can be entirely in the United Kingdom, or on the customer’s own servers. The sub-processors are listed on the data-processing page.
How do we assess RODMENA as a supplier?
Start with Questions buyers ask, which answers what a supplier assessment covers, and the Trust Centre, which shows our certifications, insurance and policies with their current status. We will answer anything else directly.
Can the UK public sector buy from RODMENA through a government agreement?
Yes. RODMENA is an appointed supplier on the Government Commercial Agency’s Artificial Intelligence Dynamic Purchasing System (RM6200). We were appointed on 7 October 2026, and the agreement runs until 23 February 2029. UK public-sector buyers can invite us to their competitions under the agreement and award contracts through it. The Trust Centre gives the details and a link to the agreement.
