Adelante Dolmen

What Adelante Dolmen does

Adelante Dolmen is an Italian social cooperative (s.c.s.) founded in 1997 and headquartered in Milan, specializing in the workplace inclusion of people with disabilities under Italian Law 68/99. The company serves Italian enterprises—primarily in Lombardy (Milan, Monza e Brianza, Lodi, and Brescia provinces)—by providing outsourced personnel that fulfill mandatory disability hiring quotas through Article 14 of D.Lgs 276/2003 partnership structures. Its core offerings comprise three service lines: HR Solutions Law 68/99 (outsourcing of qualified personnel in office, IT, and operations roles), Disability Management (ongoing HR support and complex case management), and the Articolo 14 Outsourcing framework (structured employment pathways with flexible in-house, full-outsourcing, or hybrid models).

The company operates Wakiwi, an IT brand launched in 2019 that delivers help desk support, software development, and IT consulting while simultaneously functioning as a training ground for candidates with disabilities. Supporting offerings include ADcademy (a vocational training program for help desk operators launched October 2025), Andante Digitale (a smart-working preparation training initiative), and The Inclusion Challenge (a corporate inclusion awareness event format). Revenue is generated through managed services contracts—multi-year enterprise agreements where Adelante Dolmen employs personnel and places them in client operations—with pricing negotiated per engagement based on scope, headcount, and complexity. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality, and AGCM Rating di Legalità certifications, and is listed on the SAP Ariba Network as a certified supplier.

Adelante Dolmen's go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting companies with Law 68/99 obligations, supplemented by industry event participation (CGM conventions), content marketing via its news blog and social channels, and proprietary awareness events like The Inclusion Challenge. It serves 80+ named clients including HPE, Deloitte, KPMG, GSK, AMGEN, Haleon, Banco BPM, Johnson Controls, Artemide, Triumph, and BWH Hotels. With 80+ personnel (approximately 80% of whom are people with disabilities), the cooperative is a member of the Consorzio Nazionale CGM and operates without external equity funding, relying on member-owned cooperative governance under Italian social enterprise law.
