What delta3 GmbH does

delta3 GmbH is a German software vendor founded in 2021 and headquartered in Lemgo, North Rhine-Westphalia, that develops modular digital assistance software for inclusive workplaces. Its core products are Alino, an all-in-one touchscreen-based guidance appliance; AlinoPlanner, a structured daily task planner with automatic reminders; and the Xtend Platform, a SaaS knowledge-management system with an editor, an offline-capable mobile app, and central user/content administration. The platform delivers step-by-step instructions in text, image, and video formats on standard hardware (Windows, Raspberry Pi, Apple Mac), supports offline and cloud operation, and integrates with industrial systems via MQTT, OPC UA, and REST interfaces for MES/ERP connectivity.

The company primarily targets B2B institutional customers in Germany, with a primary focus on workshops for people with disabilities (Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen, WfbM), and secondary segments including vocational education providers, industrial manufacturers with inclusive workforce practices, landscape-gardening firms, and hotels and hospitality operators. Revenue is generated through quote-based subscription licensing for Alino, AlinoPlanner, and Xtend Platform, supplemented by professional services (product training, workplace application consulting, process optimization, integration consulting, content creation, and technical support), training workshops, and custom software development. Sales are direct and consultative, anchored by case studies with named customers such as Harz-Weser-Werke (30 locations, 900+ employees), Kiebitzhof, Hotel Marco Polo, Bottroper Werkstätten, GrünBau inklusiv, and Wertkreis Gütersloh. R&D and ecosystem reach are reinforced by partnerships with the inIT institute at TH OWL, garage33 incubator, and federal funding bodies including the Bundesministerium für Forschung Technologie und Raumfahrt (BMBF).

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Whatfix: Digital adoption platform that delivers in-app, step-by-step guidance and task-level assistance to end users; directly comparable to delta3's Alino/Xtend concept, though Whatfix focuses on software adoption rather than assistive/accessible work instructions.
• AssistiveWare: Specialist assistive technology vendor known for Proloquo (AAC) and accessibility tools; peer in the disability/inclusion software ecosystem where delta3 focuses on workplace guidance rather than speech-output AAC.
• Dozuki: Visual work instruction and standard operating procedure platform for manufacturing, with photo/video step-by-step content and analytics; closely comparable to delta3's modular work-instruction content for industrial inclusive labor.
• Tulip Interfaces: Frontline operations / operator-facing app platform for manufacturing and assembly work instructions, quality, and training; comparable to delta3's Alino/Xtend deployment on the shopfloor, including MES/ERP integration and visual instructions for inclusive workforces.
• Tobii Dynavox: Leading AAC and assistive communication hardware/software vendor serving people with disabilities; adjacent peer in the AT-for-disability category where delta3 focuses on workplace process digitization rather than AAC devices.
• SwipeGuide: Mobile-first, multilingual, step-by-step work instruction platform for frontline operations; comparable UI/UX to delta3's Alino for visual assembly and process guidance across multilingual/accessible workforces.

Broad incumbents

• WalkMe: Large digital adoption platform offering in-app guidance, automation, and analytics across enterprise applications; broader incumbent whose guidance/walkthrough concept overlaps with delta3's step-by-step assistance, but delivered at IT-software scale rather than shopfloor AT scale.
• Pendo: Product experience platform with in-app guides, walkthroughs, and analytics; comparable capability layer to delta3's Xtend Platform for guided task execution, but oriented at software product teams rather than frontline inclusive workforces.

Regional players

• 360Learning: Collaborative LMS / digital learning platform used for workforce training and onboarding; comparable to delta3's training/workshops revenue stream and AlinoPlanner daily-scheduling utility, though broader in scope than assistive deployments.

Emerging players

• Lemon Learning: European digital adoption platform with interactive in-app guidance and change management; similar step-by-step adoption concept to delta3 but focused on enterprise SaaS rollout rather than inclusive workforce deployment.
