What Dimedis Gmbh does

Dimedis GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Cologne, operating with 11–50 employees. The company builds data-driven customer experience software for three primary verticals: retail, trade shows and events, and corporate environments. Its core product platform comprises kompas, a digital signage software for dynamic communication in offices, waiting areas, and production facilities; nova, a retail media-advertising manager enabling retailers to monetize point-of-sale digital inventory; and atlas, a retail analytics platform that combines software with installed measurement sensors to provide frequency and attention-time data. For trade shows, dimedis offers an integrated suite covering event registration, ticketing, digital signage, exhibitor and product databases, lead tracking, event apps, and visitor management.

The company monetizes through software licensing and recurring subscription contracts sold via a direct enterprise sales motion to large organizations. Named reference customers include major German trade fair operators (Messe Düsseldorf, Koelnmesse, Hamburg Messe, Messe Karlsruhe, Maimarkt Mannheim), retailers (POCO Einrichtungsmärkte, XXXLutz, Snipes, SPAR), utilities (EnBW, Stadtwerke Karlsruhe), and financial services (Wüstenrot Bausparkasse). Distribution is DACH-focused, with marketing executed primarily through the company website, case studies, LinkedIn, and industry events.

In 2024, dimedis established a joint venture called "dimedis Moments" with Marketing of Moments to bundle technology, data intelligence, and commercialization into a commerce-media offering that transforms trade fairs into measurable digital advertising channels. The company has also publicly begun integrating AI into internal and customer workflows, as documented in an April 2026 corporate blog post. Dimedis positions itself as a "made in Germany," scalable and individually adaptable software provider with no external private equity or venture capital ownership disclosed in the source material.

Direct peers

• Broadsign: DOOH and digital signage software platform providing content management, network operations, and programmatic capabilities for retail and out-of-home networks. Direct overlap with kompas for digital signage CMS in retail environments.
• Net Display Systems (NDS): European (Dutch) digital signage software vendor with comparable CMS, content scheduling, and enterprise deployment capabilities to kompas, and a similar regional mid-market enterprise positioning in DACH-adjacent markets.
• Ungerboeck (Momentus Software): Direct peer in event and venue management software for trade shows, exhibitions, and conferences. Closely comparable to dimedis's event suite (registration, ticketing, exhibitor database, lead tracking) for the same Messe/exhibition organizer customer segment.
• Signagelive: Cloud-based digital signage SaaS platform serving retail and enterprise customers globally. Highly comparable SaaS delivery model, CMS architecture, and target verticals to dimedis's kompas platform.
• CTS Eventim: German-headquartered ticketing and live entertainment platform operating primary ticketing, event software, and event marketing services. Directly comparable to dimedis on the trade show and event ticketing/registration side, and a fellow DACH-based event software competitor.
• Navori Labs: Swiss-based digital signage software vendor with a strong European enterprise footprint; comparable to dimedis in CMS-driven signage deployments for retail, corporate, and public-sector use cases.
• Scala (Stratacache): Enterprise digital signage software platform serving retail, QSR, and corporate communications — the same use cases addressed by kompas. Closely comparable in core CMS, content management, and network management functionality for digital signage deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Cvent: Large, established event management software platform covering registration, ticketing, lead capture, and event marketing. A broader incumbent that overlaps with dimedis's event suite but serves a wider range of corporate events beyond trade fairs.

Emerging players

• Bizzabo: Event experience and management platform focused on registration, attendee engagement, and analytics. Comparable to dimedis's event suite for hybrid events and exhibitor/lead management, though with a corporate-event rather than Messe focus.
• Swapcard: Event technology platform offering registration, networking, exhibitor management, and lead capture for trade shows and B2B events. Emerging competitor to dimedis in the digital trade show and exhibitor engagement layer.
