Delphi in action: Real-world use cases across industries in 2025

Delphi use cases

Developers are like you are no doubt encouraged to create applications for different platforms much more quickly with a comprehensive set of features that users need and love. But this can be a complex task to complete.

Delphi, Embarcadero’s powerful Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool, continues to thrive in 2025 as a cornerstone for building high-performance, cross-platform applications. With its robust Object Pascal language, visual component-based development, and support for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux, Delphi is empowering developers across a wide range of industries.

Let’s explore how Delphi is making an impact in different sectors and how you could use it to your own advantage for quick, cross-platform development. Check out the Delphi use cases below.

1. Healthcare and medical technology

Indoor cycling app for health and fitness

Startup Indoor Training UG developed a cross-platform indoor cycling app using Delphi and FireMonkey. The app supports heart rate monitors, cadence sensors, and integrates with various fitness devices via Bluetooth and ANT+. It runs on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, offering a cost-effective alternative to mainstream fitness platforms.

Medical imaging and patient records

Delphi is widely used to build healthcare management systems, including medical imaging software and electronic health records. Its responsive UI and secure data handling make it ideal for clinical environments.

2. Retail and e-commerce

e-vendo AG’s Omnichannel Retail Platform

Berlin-based e-vendo AG created a modular all-in-one retail solution using Delphi and InterBase. It integrates POS systems, online shops, and inventory management into a single platform, streamlining operations for retailers.

Reichelt Elektronik’s Logistics System

Reichelt Elektronik, a global electronics retailer, uses Delphi to manage its entire logistics and warehousing infrastructure. The system supports over 150,000 products and serves millions of customers worldwide.

3. Finance and enterprise software

OpusCapita’s Financial Automation

OpusCapita Solutions Oy uses Delphi to automate invoice processing and cash management for over 3,000 organizations across Europe and the U.S., showcasing Delphi’s strength in handling complex financial workflows.

4. Manufacturing and industrial automation

GÖPEL Electronic’s AOI Software

For over 25 years, GÖPEL Electronic has used Delphi to develop its Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) software, a critical tool in electronics manufacturing for quality control.

Industrial Control Systems

Delphi is also used to build real-time monitoring and control systems for manufacturing equipment, thanks to its robust threading and hardware integration capabilities.

5. Education and learning

Oriolus Lernprogramme

German company Oriolus Lernprogramme GmbH has been developing award-winning educational software with Delphi since 1994. Their programs cover subjects from preschool to high school and are used in schools across Europe.

6. Transportation and telematics
