Hoshin Kanri with the cascade connected to real work.
Vindaris links breakthrough objectives, annual objectives and improvement priorities to the tasks executing them, so catchball produces commitments the system can actually track.

Pre-built workspace. No signup.
The Hoshin cascade on one board: breakthrough objectives at the top, annual objectives and improvement priorities beneath, and the work each level actually depends on. Click through the live workspace, no signup.
Built for the moments the cascade stops carrying signal.
The X-matrix looks aligned. The improvement work says otherwise. These are the moments Hoshin teams turn Vindaris on.
One connected system, from the breakthrough objective down to a single task.
The X-matrix and the improvement work do not live in separate tools that someone reconciles before the review. In Vindaris they share one model, so a closed task moves the objective above it on its own.
Objectives and work in one graph
Breakthrough objectives, annual objectives, improvement priorities and the work beneath them connect on an open canvas. The cascade keeps its shape without being squeezed into a fixed grid.
Risk that finds you first
The Work Graph reads the edges between each objective and the work carrying it, then alerts the owner when an improvement priority stalls, a metric trends off, or a level of the cascade goes quiet.
Work stays where it lives
Connect HubSpot, Jira, Planner, Asana and Google Tasks. Sync runs both directions, so no team migrates and every synced item keeps a tag pointing back to its source.
Build your Hoshin hierarchy
Define breakthrough objectives, annual objectives and improvement priorities on the Alignment Canvas. Cascade across departments and teams, at as many levels as your deployment needs.
- No fixed number of levels, so nothing gets flattened to fit.
- Filter by owner, team or time range to inspect one branch of the cascade.
Connect the tools your team works in
Plug in HubSpot, Microsoft Planner, Google Tasks, Asana or Jira. Bidirectional sync pulls tasks and projects into Vindaris while your team stays in their own workflow.
- No team migrates. The work stays where it happens.
- Every synced item keeps a tag pointing at its source tool.
Map tasks to improvement priorities and targets
Connect the tasks driving each improvement priority and the work influencing each target metric. Vindaris suggests connections from owners, labels and project structure.
- Suggestions come from the work, not from a naming convention.
- Each level sees its own slice, ranked by what it affects upstream.
Get alerted when priorities or objectives fall behind
The Work Graph evaluates task velocity behind each improvement priority. When work stalls, the impact cascades upward and flags the at-risk objective before the review cycle does.
- Twelve alert types, each with the blocking work named.
- Scheduled AI summaries land in Slack, Teams or email.

Write the breakthrough objective in plain language, get a canvas.
Describe the plan the way you would present it in catchball. Mention an objective, metric, priority or task with @ and Vindaris maps it onto the Alignment Canvas.
The Work Graph watches every breakthrough priority and flags where it slips.
Vindaris reads the edges between your Hoshin plan and the work driving it. When an improvement priority stalls, a target trends off, or a task drifts loose from the X-matrix, the owner hears about it with the reason attached, before the review. Each alert is execution risk caught while there is still time to act.
Twelve deterministic and AI-driven alerts watching for slipping work, broken routines and misaligned focus.
Your framework, your language, your data in Europe.
Vindaris adapts to the operating model and compliance posture you already run, instead of asking you to adopt a new one.
Runs the Hoshin cascade at any depth
Vindaris ships without a prescribed methodology and without a fixed number of levels, so a cascade can run from breakthrough objective to shop-floor task without being flattened. The same workspace can hold Hoshin for operations while a commercial team runs OKRs.
Your data stays in Europe
Vindaris runs in a Hetzner data center in Nuremberg and was built around European data sovereignty from the start. Procurement and your DPO will find the answers they need in the trust center.

Common questions, answered
What is Hoshin Kanri software?
Hoshin Kanri software helps organizations deploy strategic plans from top-level breakthrough objectives down to team-level improvement priorities. Vindaris supports the full Hoshin process and connects each priority to real tasks so progress is always traceable.
How does Hoshin Kanri differ from OKRs?
Hoshin Kanri focuses on a small number of breakthrough objectives deployed through catchball alignment across all levels of the organization. OKRs tend to be shorter-cycle and broader in scope. Vindaris supports both, so you can use whichever fits your planning cadence.
Can Vindaris support the X-matrix?
Yes. Vindaris lets you map breakthrough objectives to annual objectives, improvement priorities, and measurable targets in a connected structure. Because tasks link directly to priorities, your X-matrix reflects live progress from real work.
How does Vindaris connect breakthrough objectives to daily work?
Each improvement priority links to tasks in Jira, Microsoft Planner, Google Tasks, or HubSpot. Task completion rolls up through annual objectives to breakthrough goals automatically, giving leadership a live view of strategic execution.
