Deltabit

What Deltabit does

Deltabit Oy is a Finnish software and hardware company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Tampere, Finland, that provides an integrated time tracking and access control platform for Finnish employers. The company's core product, Deltabit Gatekeeper, combines electronic working hour monitoring with RFID-based keyless access control on a single platform, supported by its proprietary Deltabit Idis touchscreen terminals (supporting fingerprint, RFID, and PIN identification) and a browser-based mobile entry application. The system automatically interprets Finnish labor law (Työaikalaki) and sector-specific collective agreements (agriculture, food, manufacturing, services) to convert clock-in events into correct pay types, overtime categories, and absence calculations, and exports data directly to 26+ Finnish payroll and ERP systems (Netvisor, Procountor, Fennoa, Visma, Mepco, CGI, SD Worx, etc.).

The platform is organized as a modular suite: a base working hour monitoring subscription (69 EUR/month per user) covering access control, attendance monitoring, corrections, and payroll export; a Plus add-on (10 EUR/month) unlocking project/work-stage tracking, absence planning, cost center allocation, and API access; and a separate shift planning module with skills matching and shift publishing. Hardware is sold as one-time purchases (1,195–1,495 EUR per terminal). Deltabit serves over 1,000 customers across Finnish SMB and mid-market segments in manufacturing, food processing, agriculture, services, and municipal government — including named logos such as Safeplast, OAC Finland, Knauf, Vexve, Doka Finland, Brunberg, Joensuu City Theatre, and Heikkilä Farm. Distribution is direct sales-led via website demo booking, with implementation handled in-house either remotely or on-site, and the company markets through a Finnish-language website (also available in Swedish and English), industry-specific content, and social channels.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Visma: Large Nordic ERP/HR/accounting software group whose Finnish payroll/ERP products (Visma Fivaldi, Visma Nova) already integrate with Deltabit. A deep-pocketed Nordic incumbent that bundles HR and financial software — at risk of vertically integrating its own time-tracking module, displacing Deltabit.
• Personio: European HR SaaS for SMBs offering time tracking, attendance, and payroll across multiple European countries. Comparable to Deltabit's full-stack time + HR + payroll integration story and actively expanding across Europe, representing an emerging competitive threat in any Nordic expansion.
• UKG (Kronos / Ultimate): Large US-headquartered workforce management and HCM vendor formed from the merger of Kronos and Ultimate Software. Broad incumbent offering time tracking, scheduling, payroll, and access control at enterprise scale — an aspirational competitor if it localized its WFM stack for the Finnish market.

Direct peers

• Planday: Originally Danish shift planning and workforce management platform now owned by Xero. Closest Nordic equivalent for shift scheduling, employee scheduling, and time tracking — comparable to Deltabit's shift planning module and applicable to the same Nordic SMB/mid-market employers.
• Deputy: Australia-origin SaaS for shift scheduling, time tracking, and workforce management. Direct peer on time tracking and shift planning, serving multi-site operations in hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing — categories that overlap with Deltabit's manufacturing, food, and service verticals.
• Timetastic: UK-based absence and time tracking SaaS for small businesses. Comparable to Deltabit's combined time tracking + absence/holiday planning modules for SMB customers, though UK-only and without access control or sector-specific labor-law interpretation.
• Clockify: Time tracking and timesheet app from CAKE.com used by SMBs globally. Overlaps with Deltabit on electronic working-hour recording and project-time allocation, though Clockify is freemium, pure-software, and lacks the hardware/access-control and Finnish collective-agreement logic Deltabit bundles.
• Toggl: Estonian-founded time tracking SaaS widely used by SMBs and freelancers. Direct overlap with Deltabit's core time-tracking workflow — both sell electronic working-hour monitoring with payroll/export hooks — though Toggl is global and pure-software with no access-control or labor-law interpretation layer.

Regional players

• Sesame HR: Spanish cloud HR platform with time tracking, shift management, and payroll integration. Comparable in feature footprint to Deltabit's unified time + access + payroll workflow, but operating in Iberia with Spain/Portugal-specific labor logic rather than Finland/Nordics.

Emerging players

• Personia / Sympa HR: Finnish HR software platform (Sympa) already integrated with Deltabit for time and attendance data exchange. Comparable as a Finland-headquartered workforce/HCM SaaS player; if Sympa adds stronger native time tracking, it could substitute for Deltabit's module inside its installed HR customer base.
