Your core systems shouldn't decide how fast you move
They are robust and well understood just not built for rapid change. Instead of replacing them, we connect to them and build the solutions you and your customers have wanted for years. Startup speed, without risking the core.
“I've never once been told 'that's not possible' or 'that won't work' even when it comes to complex matters involving legacy systems.”

Who this is for
Established companies that need to move faster than their systems allow
Something small starts as a good idea, a portal for customers, a clearer view of what's where and turns into a conversation about what the systems can take. Somewhere in there it loses momentum.
Meanwhile competitors are shipping things fast. Tracking, self-service, automatic updates. For them it's a feature. For you it's a project.
And behind all of it sits a bigger question nobody wants to open: can the systems we run on keep up with the pace we need? Answering it properly costs more than you want to spend finding out you were wrong. But you can start building before that question is settled.
The long game
Your competitive advantage shouldn't live in someone else's software
Most companies face the same question eventually: stay with what you have, or replace it? It's an expensive decision, and you're often forced into it before you understand what you actually need.
Building your own solutions in a layer on top changes the question. Standard software is right for standard work but the workflows that make your business what it is, the exceptions no off-the-shelf system accounts for, that's where it stops fitting and requires the most attention. You start to bend the business to fit the software, instead of the other way round. That's what makes these projects fail. Place what makes you different in the new layer, and let the core system handle what it's good at.
Three paths, over time
- 1
Keep the core
You think the core system still has a future its stable, supported, no sign the technology underneath is running out of road. You keep extending the layer on top and never run a replacement project at all.
- 2
Swap the core
You feel the core system is showing its age and you need something more modern. Since everything non-standard runs in the layer on top, you only need a system that handles the fundamentals. No product built for thousands of companies will fit yours exactly, and now it doesn't need to.
- 3
Outgrow it
Much of the operation now runs in the new layer and the core handles less and less. It makes sense to bring across the last pieces it still covers. You end up with software shaped precisely around how you work, and you own it outright.
A Norwegian Company, Built in Kathmandu
Avinto was founded in Kathmandu in January 2024, when Norwegian entrepreneur Kristian Fauske teamed up with Nepali partners Rahul Kayastha, Sakar Sedhai, and Animesh Adhikari. Having seen firsthand how hard it was to build strong tech teams in Norway, and recognizing Nepal's booming IT talent pool, they combined Norwegian leadership with skilled Kathmandu-based developers creating a "Norwegian company in a Nepali setting," a unique model in remote IT services.
