What Kodamera does

Kodamera AB is a privately held Swedish web and digital agency founded in 2003 in Gothenburg, focused on building custom websites, e-commerce platforms, and web applications for Swedish public-sector and commercial clients. The firm operates from a coworking space in central Gothenburg and reports a headcount in the 11–50 range, with no external venture or private-equity capital disclosed in available materials. Ownership-related commentary indicates an employee-driven, partner-managed structure with Jonas Sahlin acting as customer-account principal (Kundansvarig/Partner).

The agency's technical foundation is open-source-centric and centered on Drupal since 2007, with supporting capabilities in Shopify for e-commerce and a modern JavaScript stack — Next.js, React, Sanity, and Directus — used for headless and content-driven web applications. Notable integrations include BankID authentication (Svenska Lottakåren member portal), Visma Business ERP (Holistic dealer platform), Klarna payments, and Google Analytics 4 / Matomo with consent-mode compliance. Kodamera has built complex multi-site Drupal deployments for clients such as Göteborgs Universitet (180 departments from a single install) and membership platforms for non-profits such as Svenska Lottakåren and Sjöräddningssällskapet, alongside e-commerce work for ICA, Boråstapeter, Götefors Porslin, and Ebeco.

The business model is primarily professional-services revenue from multi-month website, e-commerce, and web-application projects (with publicly confirmed multi-year contracts and project-based pricing), supplemented by recurring retainers for hosting, security, accessibility optimization, upgrades, and content updates. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led through named partners/account owners, targeting mid-to-large Swedish organizations (universities, municipalities, NGOs, and retailers). Marketing is content-driven via a Swedish-language blog, case studies, DrupalCon participation, and LinkedIn, and the firm has begun offering an AI search-engine-optimization (GEO) service adjacent to its core web work. Geographic footprint is concentrated in Sweden within the broader Nordic market.
