Find S/4HANA signals
We look for public signals that show a company may be using, implementing or moving to SAP S/4HANA.
SAP S/4HANA install base
Find companies using SAP S/4HANA and reach the professionals who work at those companies. Build your list by industry, location, company size, deployment type and job title.
The BizzContacts October 2026 technology research dataset identifies 8.2K+ companies using SAP S/4HANA, with around 47K+ business contacts available at them.
Source: BizzContacts technology research dataset, October 2026. A research dataset built from public technology usage signals. It is not SAP’s official customer count: SAP reports its own adoption figures on its own methodology, most recently more than 19,300 customers in Q1 2022.

SAP S/4HANA is an ERP system used by companies to manage finance, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement and other business operations. It runs on the SAP HANA database and is available as public cloud, private cloud or on-premise software. Most S/4HANA projects today are moves from SAP ECC rather than first-time ERP purchases, so companies still on ECC and companies already live on S/4HANA are worth targeting as separate groups.
SAP S/4HANA is used by companies across manufacturing, automotive, retail, energy, technology and other industries. Below are publicly documented examples. These examples do not represent the complete BizzContacts database.

The BizzContacts October 2026 technology research dataset identifies 8.2K+ companies associated with SAP S/4HANA usage, with around 47K+ business contacts available at them. This is a BizzContacts research dataset, not SAP’s official customer count. SAP has separately published broader S/4HANA adoption figures using its own reporting methodology.
SAP most recently reported more than 19,300 S/4HANA customers, up 18% year over year, of which more than 13,900 were live, in its Q1 2022 results. SAP has since stopped breaking that figure out and now reports a broader Cloud ERP Suite metric.
The two numbers measure different things and should not be compared directly. SAP counts companies that have bought SAP S/4HANA. We count companies we can evidence are using it and where we can reach a named decision-maker, so our figure is smaller by construction. Neither is a count of the other.
The research dataset identifies 8,246 companies associated with SAP S/4HANA usage and 47,483 relevant business contacts. The geography, company-size, revenue and decision-maker breakdowns below are directional estimates normalised to that research universe and observed market distribution. There is no industry estimate: SAP publishes no per-industry customer count and we do not model one. They are not counts of database records. Figures are rounded and may change as technology signals are refreshed. See the same universe figures for every technology we track.

The United States is one of the largest markets for SAP S/4HANA. BizzContacts’ directional research model estimates approximately 3.2K+ US companies within its SAP S/4HANA research universe.

SAP S/4HANA is concentrated in industries that make, move or sell physical goods. Discrete and process manufacturing, automotive, chemicals, consumer goods, retail and energy are where it does the most work.
The industries covered, the SAP modules companies in each typically run, and what they use SAP S/4HANA for. These are targeting filters. No shares are given: SAP publishes no per-industry customer counts, and we do not estimate one.
| Industry | Common SAP modules | What it supports |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | PP, MM, QM | Finance, production, inventory and supply chain. |
| Automotive | PP, MM, SD | Just-in-time supply, supplier collaboration, vehicle configuration. |
| Consumer goods | SD, MM, IBP | Replenishment, demand planning, finance consolidation. |
| Retail | SD, MM, Retail | Merchandise management, finance, omni-channel inventory. |

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.

Not every SAP S/4HANA customer uses the same deployment. Where this information is available, you can build your list by deployment type.
| Deployment | What it is | Who takes it |
|---|---|---|
| SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition | Standardised multi-tenant cloud ERP, run by SAP on a fixed scope. | Mid-size companies and scale-ups adopting cloud ERP for the first time. |
| SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition | Single-tenant cloud ERP that keeps customer-specific configuration. | Large enterprises moving an existing, customised SAP estate. |
| RISE with SAP | A commercial programme for moving an existing SAP estate to cloud ERP. Not a separate product; usually lands on Private Edition. | Existing SAP customers modernising ECC or an older S/4HANA release. |
| GROW with SAP | A commercial programme for adopting cloud ERP from the start. Not a separate product; paired with Public Edition. | New and scaling companies with no legacy SAP ERP. |
| SAP S/4HANA on-premise | The company runs the system itself, on its own or hosted infrastructure. | Companies keeping ERP in their own data centre for control or regulation. |
RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP are commercial programmes for adopting SAP S/4HANA, not separate ERP products. Where a company’s model is not publicly documented, the record is tagged as SAP S/4HANA without an edition rather than guessed.

Five steps, then the sources behind them. Not every source carries the same weight, and the page says which is which.
01Research
We look for public signals that show a company may be using, implementing or moving to SAP S/4HANA.
02Research
We compare information from SAP customer stories, ERP events, SAP conferences, company announcements and implementation case studies.
03Research
Where available, we identify the deployment type, edition, live modules, implementation partner and migration status.
04Matching
We identify the relevant SAP, ERP, IT, finance, data and transformation professionals at the company.
05Before delivery
We verify the available business contact information before the list is delivered.
06 The sources behind those steps
Official SAP stories and announcements give direct evidence of an S/4HANA project. Every company named on this page rests on one.
Company press releases, investor documents and implementation partner case studies can confirm the deployment model and the go-live.
ERP events, SAP conferences and company presentations can show active S/4HANA projects and migrations.
Job postings and role descriptions signal that a company works with SAP S/4HANA. They do not prove a completed deployment.
Public professional profiles and listed skills give supporting signals. They do not prove company-wide deployment.
Other public technology information helps cross-check usage, and helps rule out companies running only a different SAP product.
A job posting or an employee skill is a useful signal that a company works with SAP S/4HANA. It does not prove a completed deployment, and no company is marked Live, Migrated or Using on that basis alone. Every company named in the table above rests on an SAP-published customer story or announcement.
The same install-base data supports very different briefs, depending on what you sell around SAP S/4HANA.
