Y5 tackle the most challenging problems and create data rich systems that are easy to use.
At Y5 we prioritise long term success. While there are quick wins to be had, we believe resilient, long term thinking rewards the people we work with. We embrace lean principles - eliminate waste, 5S, kaizen and asking “Why?” five times to get to the root cause of a problem.
We prioritise reducing friction, making sure we are able to act with intent without distraction. By focusing on the way we work we are able to increase productivity.
Our environment, office and culture promote an anything-is-possible atmosphere and a commitment to carry an idea to it’s conclusion. We’re intentionally a few minutes out of town in the old Matangi Dairy Factory - home to an eclectic mix of businesses and the birthplace of many great companies. We travel and arrive at a place that straddles old and new. By creating space we prime ourselves for creative endeavours.
“…it’s a powerful tool indeed, and will create many efficiencies across our growing business. I see it as our first foray into Big Data as a small business, thanks for your efforts and expertise on this!”

“Deliver and request money in short cycles. Reduce the cost and risk to run a cycle. Increase the speed of your cycle. Increase the values, alignment, qualities obtained each cycle. Increase how much you and your teams enjoy it, because the cycles never end.” - Y5 guiding principles
