Clearwater, Florida — Delta Financial Group announced a partnership with Tompkins Robotics in October 2023, introducing a financing option designed to complement Tompkins’ Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) model for distribution and fulfillment automation. Delta brings its experience structuring equipment financing to a solution built around customer flexibility.

Tompkins’ RaaS model brings robotic equipment, installation, commissioning and ongoing support into a service-level arrangement. Rather than purchasing a complete automation system outright, participating businesses can use a subscription-style structure that aligns expenses with their use of the technology.

Iron Horse Consulting Group helped bring the two organizations together, identifying Delta as a financing partner familiar with specialized asset structures. The arrangement also gives customers an opportunity to work with a certified service-disabled veteran-owned financing source, which may support qualifying supplier-diversity objectives.

By combining robotics technology with a flexible financing approach, the partnership was designed to help customers preserve capital and adjust their automation capacity as operational needs evolve.

At the time, Delta CFO Robert T. Short highlighted the investment as a major milestone for the business and its origination capabilities. Oaktree’s Strategic Credit leadership likewise pointed to Delta’s experienced team and its approach to developing opportunities in the equipment finance market.

Beyond commercial growth, the announcement reaffirmed Delta’s roots in a team of military veterans and finance professionals. Supporting the veteran community remains a central part of the company’s identity.

Clearwater, Florida — Delta Financial Group announced on September 21, 2021 that an affiliate of Peak Rock Capital LLC had made a strategic growth investment in the company. The transaction was intended to accelerate the development of Delta’s equipment financing and leasing business.

The new backing was aimed at expanding the company’s capacity to originate and manage leases while continuing to serve customers with specialized financing structures.

Delta CEO and Managing Partner Dave Riggleman and CIO and Managing Partner Adam Woodard described the investment as a step toward building a scalable equipment finance and asset management platform.
