What SAP counts
Every company holding a Business One licence anywhere in the world, across more than 170 countries and 850 partners, growing by about 3,000 net-new customers a year. SAP is counting its own install base and is the only party who can.
SAP Business One install base
Find companies using SAP Business One and connect with ERP, finance, operations and IT decision-makers.
SAP Business One is the ERP small and midsize companies use to run finance, sales, purchasing, inventory and light production in one system. The BizzContacts list gives you those companies, the Business One details that are publicly documented, and business contact information for the professionals who own them.
Filter by industry, country, employee size and job title. Company size is the filter that matters most on this list: an estimated 88% of these companies have fewer than 500 employees.
BizzContacts currently identifies 7.6K+ companies using SAP Business One and 44K+ relevant contacts.

What a Business One record joins together
The company, the ERP it uses and how, the decision-maker who owns it and the contact information to reach them. Separately these are available elsewhere. Joined together they are a target account list.

Business One details are recorded where a public source documents them. Not every record carries a module list, an implementation partner or a database platform, and the page does not pretend otherwise.
Small and midsize manufacturers, wholesale distributors, consumer products businesses and specialty retailers, mostly between 10 and 500 employees. The buyer is usually the owner or the finance lead rather than a central IT function, and the system is almost always implemented by an SAP partner rather than by SAP.
Each company below appears in a published case study that names it and names SAP Business One, with a link to read it. The letter beside each source is the strength of that evidence. A sample of what is publicly documented, not the full delivered file.

Why these are partner case studies rather than SAP ones. SAP sells Business One almost entirely through its channel, and states a network of 850 partners for the product. The case study is therefore published by the partner who did the work, so a partner-published story is the strongest evidence that normally exists here. We mark it Level B rather than presenting it as an SAP publication.
SAP states more than 83,000 customers. The BizzContacts research dataset identifies 7.6K+. Both are correct, and they are not the same measurement.
Every company holding a Business One licence anywhere in the world, across more than 170 countries and 850 partners, growing by about 3,000 net-new customers a year. SAP is counting its own install base and is the only party who can.
Companies we have identified from public evidence, matched to firmographics and to contactable decision-makers. That is roughly 9.2% of SAP’s figure, and the gap is expected: most of a 83,000-strong SMB base in 170+ countries leaves no public trace at all.

The breakdowns further down this page divide the BizzContacts research universe of 7,621 along a published shape. They are directional estimates rather than row counts, and each one adds back up to that universe exactly. See the same universe figures for every technology we track.
This is the defining filter for Business One and the one worth setting first. An estimated 88% of these companies, about 6,707 of them, have fewer than 500 employees. A campaign built for enterprise ERP buyers will miss almost all of this base.
Estimated company-size distribution of the 7.6K+ company research universe, using the shares carried in our prior Business One research. Bands are apportioned so they sum to the universe exactly. SAP positions Business One for small businesses and the lower midmarket, which is what this shape shows.
Business One concentrates in businesses that move physical goods. Distribution, light manufacturing and equipment supply dominate, because stock, purchasing and order fulfilment in one system is the problem the product solves best.
| Industry | Estimated companies | What they use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Wholesale distribution | 941 | Inventory, purchasing, customer pricing, warehouse |
| Light manufacturing | 941 | Bills of material, MRP, production orders, costing |
| Industrial equipment | 941 | Parts inventory, service calls, rentals, dealers |
| Consumer products | 659 | Multi-channel sales, stock, e-commerce integration |
| Food and beverage | 659 | Batch and lot tracking, expiry dates, recipes |
| Specialty retail | 659 | Point-of-sale integration, multi-location stock |
| Professional services | 471 | Project costing, time capture, billing |
| Apparel and fashion | 470 | Matrix items by size and colour, season planning |
| Automotive aftermarket | 470 | Parts catalogues, distribution, dealer orders |
| All other industries | 1,410 | Pharmaceuticals, construction, medical devices, specialty chemicals, cosmetics |

Business One is the least United States-weighted list in our SAP family, which follows from a partner channel operating in more than 170 countries. Europe is the largest region here, not North America.
Estimated companies using SAP Business One across the markets the research covers, ranked. United States is the largest at roughly 26.6% of the universe.
Added up from the countries above instead of modelled on their own, which keeps the two views consistent with each other.
An estimated 2,026 companies in the research universe are in the United States. The states below are apportioned from that figure, so they sum to it exactly rather than contradicting it.

SAP describes Business One as covering accounting and financials, purchasing, inventory, sales, customer relationships and reporting in one place. On a system this size the function and its owner are tightly coupled, so each card names the role to approach.
General ledger, payables, receivables, bank reconciliation and period close. Usually owned by: CFO, Finance Director, Controller.
Opportunities, quotations, orders, pricing and customer records. Usually owned by: Sales Director, Owner.
Requests, purchase orders, goods receipts, returns and landed costs. Usually owned by: Procurement Manager, Operations.
Stock across locations, bins, serial and batch numbers, stocktakes. Usually owned by: Inventory Manager, Warehouse Manager.
Bills of material, production orders, material requirements planning. Usually owned by: Production Manager, Plant Manager.
Operational reporting and dashboards over live transaction data. Usually owned by: CFO, Business Systems Manager.
Service contracts, equipment cards, service calls and warranty. Usually owned by: Service Director, Operations.
Project stages, costs, resources and billing against a project. Usually owned by: Operations Director, Finance.
No per-function company counts are published here, because none is measured. Where a source documents the areas a company uses, the record carries them and you can filter on it.
Business One runs on two different databases and in several hosting arrangements, and unlike most SAP products both database options remain current. That split is worth knowing before you write the pitch.
The in-memory option, with the analytics and semantic search features that only run on HANA. Usually chosen where reporting load is heavy or the business is growing into multi-entity.
The long-standing option and still fully supported alongside HANA. Common where a company already runs Windows Server infrastructure and has in-house SQL skills.
Most Business One systems are run for the customer by the implementing partner rather than by SAP, which is a direct consequence of the channel model. The partner owns the hosting, the upgrades and usually the support contract.
Still in wide use, particularly among longer-established manufacturing and distribution companies with their own server room and a local IT manager.
We publish no split between HANA and SQL Server, because no reliable public figure exists and guessing one would be worse than leaving it out. Where a case study or announcement states the platform, the record carries it.

Data quality
The standards every BizzContacts list is built and delivered to. These are the same figures published across the site, held in one place so no two pages can state different ones.
Delivered as CSV or Excel, typically within 24-48 hours. Every record is 100% opt-in, permission-based. Accuracy and deliverability are the standards we publish and build to, not an audited measurement of a file you have not specified yet; the refresh cycle and delivery window are policies we run. Figures for your own segment come back with your sample.
Set the filters that matter and we return the exact count before you commit to anything. On this list, start with company size.

Around 44K+ contacts are available across the research universe. Authority is concentrated in a smaller company: the same professional often owns the budget, the system and the process, which makes the buying group short but hard to bypass.

We publish no count per job title, because no such count is measured. In practice an ERP campaign into this base pairs a finance owner with a systems owner: the CFO or owner releases the budget, the IT or ERP Manager judges whether it fits the system they maintain.
Both carry the SAP name and they are regularly confused, which costs outbound teams real money when a Business One account is pitched enterprise software. They answer different questions.
| Dimension | SAP Business One | SAP S/4HANA |
|---|---|---|
| Typical company profile | Small business and lower midmarket | Large enterprise and upper midmarket |
| ERP scope | Finance, sales, purchasing, inventory, light production | Full enterprise suite across every line of business |
| Complexity | One system, one database, small core team | Many modules, process variants, dedicated competence centre |
| Deployment | Partner-hosted, cloud or on-premise | Cloud, private cloud or on-premise at scale |
| Finance | General ledger, payables, receivables, period close | Group consolidation, multi-GAAP, treasury, deep controlling |
| Operations | Stock, purchasing and fulfilment in one place | Global supply chain across plants and distribution networks |
| Manufacturing | Bills of material, production orders, basic MRP | Advanced planning, plant maintenance, variant configuration |
| Global enterprise requirements | Multi-currency and local tax within a smaller footprint | Multi-entity, multi-country rollout programmes |
| Typical implementation | Weeks to a few months, led by one partner | A programme measured in quarters or years |
Neither product is a better version of the other, and a company can appear on both lists: a large group may use S/4HANA at the centre and Business One in a small subsidiary. See our SAP S/4HANA customers list for the enterprise side, or the full SAP customers list.
Business One is sold, implemented and usually hosted by partners. SAP states a network of 850 partners and more than 500 industry and country-specific extensions. If you sell into this base, the partner is often the route in rather than an obstacle.
The partner that sold, installed and configured the system. For most Business One accounts this is the relationship that matters most, and it is usually named in the case study.
Running the system day to day, including the server, the backups and the upgrades. Frequently the same partner on a recurring contract.
SAP states over 500 industry and country-specific extensions. Warehouse scanning, production, e-commerce and reporting add-ons are the most common.
E-commerce platforms, payment providers, shipping carriers, CRM and payroll are the usual connections around a Business One core.
Partner-built versions of Business One pre-configured for food, apparel, equipment distribution and similar sectors.
Advisory work around selection, process design and upgrades, often independent of the implementing partner.

Five steps, and then what sits behind them. Business One evidence is unusual in that the best of it is published by partners rather than by SAP, so the grading matters more here than elsewhere.
01Research
We look for public signals that a company uses, is implementing or is moving to SAP Business One.
02Research
SMB records go stale faster than enterprise ones, so we confirm the business still trades, under what name, and at what size.
03Research
Where it is documented we record the database platform, the deployment, the implementation partner and the status.
04Matching
A smaller company concentrates authority: the finance lead and the owner often decide together, so we map both rather than one.
05Before delivery
Every contact detail is re-checked when the file is built rather than when the record was first found.
06 The sources behind those steps
The strongest evidence that exists for this product. SAP sells Business One through partners, so the partner publishes the story, usually with the industry, the location and the modules.
Direct evidence when SAP publishes it, though SAP publishes far fewer named stories for Business One than for its enterprise products.
An ERP go-live is sometimes announced by the company itself, particularly where it supported a move to a new site or a new product line.
Partner and SAP events where a customer presents their own implementation, including the modules and the timeline.
Adverts asking for Business One experience signal that a company works with it. Common in SMB finance and operations roles, and not proof of a live system.
Public profiles listing Business One skills, and company sites that mention the system. Supporting signals only.
A job advert never becomes a confirmed deployment. Level C signals narrow a search and nothing more, and the companies table on this page shows the level behind every named company.
Teams selling something that attaches to an existing ERP, where knowing the system is the difference between a relevant message and a generic one.
Find companies on Business One outside your own customer base, for add-ons, support takeover or a second-phase project.
Reach companies at the point where a growing Business One system needs process work rather than more licences.
Target the Business One estate directly, which is the only install base your product connects to.
Shop floor, quality and scheduling tools sell into Business One manufacturers that have outgrown basic production orders.
Warehouse scanning, freight and inventory optimisation tools fit the distribution-heavy part of this base.
Partner-hosted and on-premise Business One systems need infrastructure, backup and security services around them.
Four things joined in one record. Separately they are available elsewhere. Joined together they are a target account list.
We track the ERP itself, so the list is companies on Business One rather than companies that merely look like SMB ERP buyers.
Filter by employee size, industry, revenue and location. Size matters more here than on any other list we publish, because Business One is defined by it.
Finance, IT, operations, supply chain and manufacturing roles, mapped to the function each one owns.
Reach the named decision-maker directly, with the contact details checked before the file goes out.
Tell us the industries, locations, company sizes, SAP Business One details and decision-makers you want to reach. We build the list around your requirements and send a sample first.
