An elite software consultancy
factor10 is a software consultancy based in Sweden, founded in 2007. We are a small team of senior software architects and developers, specialising in Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Test-Driven Development, (TDD) and software architecture modernisation. We work with industrial manufacturing companies, software product organisations, and scale-up companies across Sweden, Scandinavia, and internationally.
What we do
If we could only use two short phrases to describe what we do, it would be: solve bottlenecks and create leverage.
Finding and solving the current bottleneck in our customer's business or software is our way of saying we always want to solve the most important problem at any given time.
We love it when the outcome of a solution is disproportional to the work we put in – when the best and simplest solution to the right problem creates enough leverage to amplify the business impact by a factor of 10.
In practice, it might look like a two-week architecture review that uncovers why a development team has struggled for two years. Or a custom-built solution configurator that lets a manufacturer's customers quote complex solutions themselves, without having to involve a salesperson. Or coaching a development team in Test-Driven Development so that faster delivery becomes the norm rather than the exception.
Software is magic!
It's a material consisting only of words, but which does things. To have it do something else, just use other words – it really is that easy. It's called software for a reason.
Despite this, rigid legacy software is often the main obstacle for an enterprise to stay competitive, and the overall bottleneck to growth.
Now imagine a situation where changes in software systems are easier, quicker and less costly than changing other aspects of your business. Imagine a rapid adaptation to new and unforeseen needs and opportunities. And imagine that the software actually is as soft as it is meant to be.
That's not a utopian vision. It's what good software architecture and disciplined engineering practice actually look like. It's what we spend our days helping organisations build.
How we work
Everything we do is grounded in three principles. Not because we like methodology for its own sake, but because they help us consistently produce better outcomes for our clients.
We call them our cornerstones, and they are:
Theory of Constraints. A methodology for identifying the single bottleneck that limits value creation in a system. It's what keeps us focused on the most important problem for your business at any given time, rather than the most obvious or most convenient one.
Domain-Driven Design (DDD). An approach to software design grounded in a deep understanding of the business domain, developed in close collaboration with the people who know it best. It's how we make sure the software we build actually reflects how your business works – and stays aligned with it as things change.
Extreme Programming (XP). A disciplined approach to software delivery that keeps teams focused on working code, fast feedback, and continuous improvement. One of it's most important practices is Test-Driven Development (TDD) that lets us move faster, collaborate better, and focus on maximising value without the constant fear of breaking something. XP helps us move quickly without accumulating the kind of technical debt that slows everything down later.
The values that guide us
Our values at factor10 are centered around four action verbs: Excel, Challenge, Care and Lead.
More than just empty words in a document or on a webpage, these verbs guide how we act every day in society, toward our customers, together as a team, and as individuals.

Consultants
We have chosen to stay as a small company. Growing faster could entail a risk of diluting the integrity of our offering.

Offices
We have been a remote-first company since 2020. Our consultants work from locations across Sweden, with clients in Sweden, Scandinavia, and internationally.
Being part of the solution, not the problem
Together with our clients, we want to make the world radically better using outstanding software as leverage. We are constantly searching for the most impactful problems to solve to make the world a more sustainable and democratic place.
As a consulting company (with no factories, engines, chemicals or raw materials), our climate footprint is comparatively small to begin with. To improve even further, we've challenged ourselves to be the premium software consultancy with the lowest CO2e emission per consulting hour.

We are a Prevas company
In early 2022 factor10 was partially acquired by Prevas. As a company, factor10 operates autonomously, in close collaboration with top management at Prevas. Being a part of Prevas' decentralized ecosystem in the Nordics, gives us more opportunities to help customers make more out of their business.
