Revenue model

1. Subscription — Consumption-Based SaaS (DALIM FUSION): DALIM FUSION is delivered as a fully managed SaaS platform on AWS. The platform operates on a consumption-based (pay-per-use) model — base price plus only what is used, not per user or module. Unlimited users can be added; capabilities scale up or down; costs adjust automatically to production demand. Hosted exclusively by Dalim Software as a managed service.
2. Professional Services: Implementation, configuration, advisory, and consulting services delivered via Statements of Work (SOWs). Includes technical assistance for configuration, training, and Deliverables development. Billed separately per SOW.
3. Managed Services: Ongoing managed services beyond the standard SaaS platform, providing extended operational support and management for enterprise customers.

It is delivered primarily as a managed SaaS service on AWS, with optional partner-hosted or self-managed deployments, and is sold on a consumption-based subscription model. The company also offers the DALIM ES and DALIM TWIST product families, the free PDFLight compression tool, and separately billed Professional Services and Managed Services for enterprise customers in print, packaging, brands, agencies, and government sectors.

Product overview

Dalim Software offers the DALIM FUSION content production platform as its primary offering — a modular, unified platform combining Digital Asset Management (DAM), Review & Approval (Online Proofing), Workflow Automation, Project Management, File Checking & Transformation (Pre-Flight), Imposition, and FUSION AI. The platform is complemented by two product families: DALIM ES (Enterprise Solution) focused on established enterprise deployments, and DALIM TWIST for specialized print production and prepress automation. Dalim also provides a free standalone tool, PDFLight, for PDF compression. Services include Professional Services and Managed Services.
