Historical background
-
2011
Brightspark was founded
Kari Maripuu and Markko Legonkov started the software develpment company Brightspark, naming the company to state that only the brightest sparks will be working for the company so that only the best solutions would get published as a result. -
2018
The initial concept of Lexi.Market was introduced
Brightspark has been developing an inhouse product information management platform for Coop Estonia since 2015. Throughout the entire development period, Brightspark realized that they are only solving one part of the problem but the need is much wider. The company realized that if they want to bring the real value to the entire market, the concept of an online data exchange platform must be launched. So, on this day Brightspark introduced the concept of Lexi.Market for the Estonian Retailers Union and it was positively accepted as one of possible solutions. -
2019
Brightspark sold its software development unit
Brightspark has signed the contract with Uptime to take over the software development division and its customers. With this deal, Brightspark has finalized its long-term business ambition to transform from custom software develpment house to single-product developer and distributor. -
