What rdgKompagne does
rdgKompagne B.V. is a privately held Dutch limited company (KvK 41031183) headquartered in Enschede with an additional training facility in Utrecht. Founded in 1993, it operates as the Netherlands' largest advisor and supplier of assistive communication and control devices for people with speech and motor disabilities. The company distributes a catalog of more than 200 products across five categories: communication aids (from single-message starter devices through dynamic eye-tracking systems), input and control devices (eye control, switches, mouse alternatives), independent-living solutions (environmental control and call systems), development and therapy tools, and adaptation technology. Most clients access products through the Dutch health insurance reimbursement framework (basisverzekering), with additional pathways through municipalities (Wmo, WIz) and UWV, supported by a nationwide network of regional advisors providing on-site consultation, fitting, and FGI application guidance.
The core technology stack combines hardware from Tobii Dynavox (TD I-13, I-16, I-110, Tellus, Vibe, TD Pilot, Navio) and Jabbla (Mind Express platform, Vibe devices) running communication software (TD Snap, TD Talk, Mind Express, Communicator, TouchToTell, Proloquo2Go), supported by vocabularies (Score, ALOHA, Snap Core First, Crescendo, PODD, Amego, AlphaCore). Recent capability additions include ElevenLabs AI voice synthesis (with offline fallback), Microsoft Neural Voices, iOS Native Voices, personal voice cloning via the ElevenLabs Impact Program, and an AI sentence-improvement feature in Mind Express 5. rdgKompagne complements distributed products with its own in-house workshop producing bespoke mounting systems, wheelchair integrations, custom rasters, and protective housings, and co-developed the national FGI (Functioneringsgericht Indiceren) protocol and digital portal alongside Lacoh and ISAAC-NF, which now underpins structured reimbursement applications across the Dutch AAC sector.
Revenue is generated through hardware sales reimbursed via Dutch health insurance, software licenses (Mind Express, TD Snap, TD Talk, Communicator), professional workshops (€180-200 per participant, with ADAP-accredited courses), custom adaptation services, and FGI guidance for therapists. Distribution relies on direct field sales via regional advisors supplemented by webshops for simpler accessories and on-site workshops for institutions. The company works with all Dutch health insurers, all care offices, and municipalities, co-founded the ARKOM international AAC network in 2002, is a member of DATEurope, has collaborated with NVLF since 2017, and is a founding member of Lacoh.
