Aikido ICP — Integrated Control Platform

Turn complexity
into clarity

Aikido brings fragmented programme data into one clear view — so rail and infrastructure teams can stop chasing spreadsheets and start delivering with confidence.

The problem

Sound familiar?

Modern rail and infrastructure programmes generate more data than ever — but the tools used to manage it haven’t kept up. The result: more effort, less confidence.

Data lives in silos

P6 schedules, risk registers, cost models, status reports — each in a different system, each with its own version of the truth.

Reporting is slow and manual

Days spent gathering, reconciling, and reformatting before anyone can actually look at the numbers.

Teams see different pictures

Programme directors, delivery leads, and stakeholders work from different exports — and decisions drift apart.

Legacy tools weren’t built for this

Desktop installs, version sprawl, and brittle integrations that bend but don’t flex to how programmes actually run.

What Aikido does

One platform. One source of truth.

Built specifically for the complexities of rail programme delivery — not a generic dashboard tool retrofitted for infrastructure.

Integrate

Connect your programme data — Primavera P6 schedules, ARM risk registers, cost data, and more — into a single platform. No more chasing spreadsheets across teams.

  • Direct P6 + ARM integration
  • API-first architecture
  • Automated nightly syncs

Visualise

Dashboards and reports that show what matters. From programme-level summaries to task-level detail — tailored to each audience, refreshed continuously.

  • Role-tailored dashboards
  • Drill from programme to task
  • Live, not weekly

Deliver

Consistent, reliable reporting that keeps teams aligned and programmes on track. Less time gathering data, more time acting on it.

  • One source of truth
  • Print-ready exec packs
  • Audit-traced changes

Intelligent insights

AI-powered analysis surfaces risks, highlights schedule drift, and helps your teams focus where it counts — before issues become incidents.

  • Risk pattern detection
  • Schedule drift alerts
  • Narrative report drafts

The Aikido philosophy

Use the strength of your data to work for you

Why Aikido

What makes us different

There’s no shortage of dashboards. There is a shortage of platforms built for the way rail programmes actually work.

Built for rail

Not a generic PM tool adapted for infrastructure. Purpose-built for the complexities of rail programme delivery — from possession planning to renewals reporting.

Modern technology

A modern, cloud-based platform — not a legacy desktop install. Accessible anywhere, updated continuously, no IT rollouts required.

Data-led integrations

Connects directly with Primavera P6, ARM, and other industry-standard tools. Your data, exactly where it lives, surfaced where decisions are made.

Configurable per client

Multi-tenant architecture with client-specific deployments, branding, and access controls. Your data stays yours, isolated and secure.

Secure by design

Penetration tested, Cyber Essentials aligned, GDPR compliant. SSO via Azure AD and Okta. Auditable from edge to database.

Delivered by people who get it

A small, focused team with deep rail delivery experience. You speak to the people building the product — not a five-tier support queue.

Modern technology

Aikido pairs deep rail domain knowledge with modern, data-led technology — so your teams get the reliability of purpose-built tooling and the pace of a continuously improved platform.

  • Cloud-based and accessible anywhere — updated continuously
  • Direct integration with Primavera P6, ARM and cost systems
  • AI-assisted insights that surface risk and schedule drift

About

A small team with deep rail expertise

The PACE ICP team in a planning meeting

Aikido ICP is built by PACE ICP — a UK-based team of engineers, delivery professionals, and software specialists who have spent careers in rail.

We built Aikido because we saw the same problem on programme after programme: brilliant people held back by tooling that hadn’t kept up with how modern delivery actually works.

The name reflects the philosophy: using the strength of your data to work for you, not against you.
