Pubfront ApS is a Danish software company that develops digital publishing and distribution platforms. It is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark. The company was originally founded as Riidr ApS in March 2010. In 2014, it sold its consumer-facing business, Riidr.com, to JP/Politikens Hus and continued operations as a B2B technology provider under the name Pubfront.

History

Pubfront was incorporated in 2010 as Riidr ApS, with a focus on developing e-reading applications tailored to the Scandinavian market. Its initial platform allowed users to purchase and read e-books across devices.

In 2012, the company partnered with Swedish digital retailer Bokon.se to expand into the Swedish market. In 2013, it entered the Norwegian market via a platform partnership with EBOK.NO, which went on to become a leading digital book service in Norway.

In November 2014, Riidr.com was acquired by JP/Politikens Hus, a major Danish media group. Following the sale, the company was renamed Pubfront ApS and shifted focus exclusively to white-label digital distribution platforms for publishers and media organizations.

Products

In 2019, Pubfront launched Audiorista, a no-code platform that enables content creators and publishers to launch custom-branded iOS and Android applications for audio and multimedia content. The platform includes tools for content management, subscription-based monetization, payment processing (via Stripe and RevenueCat), analytics, and third-party integrations.

Clients and Partnerships

Pubfront's technology has been implemented by several notable partners:

EBOK.NO, a Norwegian e-book and audiobook retailer.
Bokon.se, a Swedish digital bookstore.
Politiken Books, a Danish subscription service launched by JP/Politikens Hus using Pubfront’s backend technology.

Media Coverage

Pubfront and its products have been featured in both Danish and international media. In 2014, Danish tech outlet Trendsonline.dk profiled the company’s transition toward audiobooks and white-label distribution. That same year, Good E-Reader published an article highlighting Riidr’s white-label e-book platform and its impact in the Nordic market.

Company Overview

Pubfront is a privately held company based in Copenhagen and has not received external venture funding. Its current focus is on developing scalable SaaS solutions for content distribution under the Audiorista brand.
