Drive Continuity with Automotive Software Escrow

When Vendor Support Stops, What’s Your Plan?

As the global leader in software escrow, Escode helps leading automotive manufacturers secure the critical software behind their most advanced vehicle systems. We ensure it remains accessible and ready to use when it matters most.

As OEMs become more reliant on third-party software, the risk of supplier disruption increases. Escode’s software escrow and verification services give you the confidence that your critical code remains accessible, buildable, and within your control.

Escode helps you:

• Maintain control of critical software assets in the event of supplier failure
• Enable innovation without compromising business continuity
• Reduce vendor risk across the entire vehicle lifecycle
• Ensure access to usable, tested code when supplier disruptions occur

From Legal Access to Verified Readiness

Establish your legal rights

Secure contractual rights to access and use your software — even if your supplier fails.

Full knowledge transfer and verification

We verify that the escrow deposit includes everything you need: source code, build instructions, documentation, and technical know-how. No gaps, no guesswork.

Scenario testing

We validate real-world recovery by building and testing the code independently. You don’t just store software — you prove it works.
