What Scelto does

Scelto is a Norwegian IT consulting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered at Rådhusgata 20 in Oslo, specializing in two service lines: system development consulting (frontend and backend engineering, with consultants frequently holding technical or team-leadership responsibilities at client sites) and technical architecture consulting (architecture investigation and implementation across integration and standalone applications). The firm is part of the Iniva group and sells its services exclusively to the Norwegian market, with a customer base spanning public sector (NAV, Politiet, Statens Vegvesen, Ruter, Statens Pensjonskasse), financial services (SpareBank1, Nordea, Fremtind), energy (Statnett, CircleK), transport (Flytoget), retail (NorgesGruppen), and broadcasting (NRK). Technology breadth covers the Java ecosystem, React/Angular/TypeScript on the frontend, AWS/GCP/Azure, DevOps and CI/CD, and microservices architecture, with a deliberately senior bench (average consultant experience cited as 12+ years).

The business model is professional services staff augmentation on a 60% commission basis: consultants are employed by Scelto and billed to clients at hourly rates, retaining 60% of billings while Scelto covers employer taxes, insurance, equipment, and benefits on the remaining 40% spread. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales, participation in industry events such as JavaZone, content marketing via the company blog, and a strategic subcontractor relationship with Systek that has placed Scelto on multiple framework agreements including NRK and Statens Vegvesen. Headcount has grown from four at founding to over 40 consultants in 2025, and the firm has been recognized three consecutive times as a Gasellebedrift by Dagens Næringsliv (2018, 2019, 2021) and holds Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) environmental certification. Recent operating focus includes AI-assisted development practices, demonstrated through an in-house 'AI Fagkveld' event and 2025-2026 blog content on spec-driven development with AI agents.
