Apphuset: Harnessing international expertise to drive global impact

Based in Bergen and Oslo, Norway, Apphuset is a dynamic and innovative development agency whose local and international success is underpinned by its dedication to knowledge, skills, and a global perspective. With a diverse team and access to international competence, Apphuset makes the daunting task of developing and designing unique digital experiences simple.

Apphuset was founded in 2010 as a response to the increasing demand for native mobile app development in Norway. When the iPhone first announced its arrival in the Norwegian market, businesses had to start incorporating a mobile-first mindset when approaching digital solutions.

Due to a lack of extensive knowledge within app development locally, Apphuset quickly realised it would have to look internationally to acquire the right skills to keep up with the pace of the increased demand. From the start, the company model was to establish what to create (technical specifications, UX/UI) locally with its clients in Norway, and then use the necessary expertise from developers internationally for the implementation part (development, testing).

The staff at Apphuset and Seven Peaks enjoy close collaboration, benefiting customers on both sides of the pond.

In 2014, Apphuset co-established its sister company, Seven Peaks Software, in Thailand’s Capital. “We wanted to increase control and facilitate better scaling opportunities for our clients”, says Endre Soltvedt Brakstad, chief commercial officer at Apphuset. “With a local Norwegian presence in our Bangkok offices, we’ve been able to remove the difficulties of outsourcing. Our setup allows clients to efficiently reap the benefits of local connection and expertise, as well as easily access international competence when needed.”

Since then, Apphuset and Seven Peaks have expanded in both size and services, offering end-to-end design and development teams for companies worldwide. Having spent the last decade assisting large enterprises and SMB’s with digital transformation processes and overall software development needs, app development is now only a small part of the wide range of technical capabilities,

The symbiotic relationship has proven vastly successful, allowing Apphuset to focus its work on companies whose work it wishes to promote. With environment and sustainability high on the agenda, assisting companies related to efficiency within the energy sector, and exciting new technology in healthcare have been two of its main pillars as of late.

“Personally, I think one of the most rewarding engagements we have is helping a group of doctors with software solutions for the electrocardiogram sensor they have developed. The sensors are critical in monitoring abnormalities and diagnosing heart conditions, and are essentially saving lives,” says Brakstad.

Looking ahead, Apphuset is poised to continue its trajectory of growth and impact. The company will continue to assist forward-leaning companies in their pursuit of modernisation and effectivization.
