What vieww does

vieww GmbH is a German sports technology company headquartered in Aachen that develops FIFA-certified officiating technology for professional football, including Goal Line Technology (GLT), Video Assistant Referee (VAR), and Virtual Offside Line (VOL) systems. The company's core product is a FIFA-certified 4-D image analysis platform built on intelligent cameras synchronized to microsecond precision, delivering 200 full-HD frames per second from up to 14 cameras per stadium. Its View 4D 2.0 software combines GPU-accelerated ball tracking with an intelligent server/client architecture, enabling sub-second goal/no-goal decisions and feeding all installed camera feeds directly into the VAR workflow for penalty-area analysis. AI-assisted modules (AVOL and SAOT) overlay player detection, triangulation, and semi-automated offside detection on top of the deterministic image pipeline. The modular portfolio is rounded out by GLT Light, VAR Light, Football Video Support (FVS), and the VideoHub distribution platform.

vieww monetizes through a mix of software licensing, hardware solutions (commissioned via a separate company), and professional match-day VAR/GLT services. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major football leagues and federations, distributed primarily through its parent Sportec Solutions AG — a joint venture between Deltatre and the German Football League (DFL) — and via a deployment partnership with DFB Schiri GmbH. Named customers include the DFL (Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2, DFB Pokal, German Supercup), Major League Soccer, and Portugal's Liga 3. vieww was acquired by Sportec Solutions AG in June 2022, becoming part of the Deltatre Group, and is one of only two providers globally holding dual FIFA certification for both GLT and VAR.

Product overview
