Amesto Solutions

What Amesto Solutions does

Amesto Solutions is the technology and outsourcing division of Amesto Group, a privately held Nordic family-owned conglomerate operating under Spabogruppen and headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with roots dating to 2002 (and corporate lineage back to 1948). The group is organized into four core operating subsidiaries: Amesto AccountHouse (one of Norway's largest providers of outsourced accounting, payroll, and HR services, and the first Nordic deployer of the AI-powered Semine accounting robot), Amesto TechHouse (Nordic's largest Visma and SuperOffice dealer, delivering ERP, CRM, HRM, BI, AI, and analytics implementations), Toptemp (recruitment and staffing), and Amesto Global (international BPO serving multi-jurisdiction clients). It also operates intrapreneur ventures including ConnectMyApps (integration platform), Meet Dottie (HR SaaS for SMBs), Aprila Bank (digital SMB banking), Amesto Aces (Salesforce training program), and Amesto NextBridge (AI laboratory).

The group's underlying technology stack combines partner-led business systems (Visma, SuperOffice, Salesforce) with proprietary AI assets — most notably Semine for invoice automation, NLP systems deployed for the Red Cross, computer-vision analytics from the Bee Future project, predictive Power BI solutions for healthcare, and the ConnectMyApps integration layer — bundled together for Nordic SMBs, mid-market, and enterprise customers across Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and internationally through offices in the UK, Ireland, USA, Netherlands, Romania, and Spain.

Amesto generates revenue through a mix of recurring managed services (BPO for accounting, payroll, HR), subscription-based technology sales (ERP, CRM, BI, HRM, AI), professional services from recruitment/staffing (Toptemp), and managed international services (Amesto Global). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company sells via direct enterprise field sales teams, supplemented by partner/reseller channels for Visma and SuperOffice products, and pursues a triple bottom line (People, Planet, Profit) operating philosophy as a UN Global Compact member since 2012. Spabogruppen reported turnover of 1.2 billion NOK in 2020; the group employs more than 1,000 people.
