What Aequitas Group does

Aequitas Group is a privately held German consulting group headquartered in Hamburg, operating through a parent entity, Aequitas AG, and seven subsidiaries across Germany, Poland, and India, with a delivery base of 280+ consultants (400+ total employees). Its core offering is end-to-end SAP consulting, including SAP S/4HANA transformation using the SAP Activate methodology, Clean Core extensibility guidance, and managed services across SAP RISE, GROW, cloud, and on-premise deployments, alongside a parallel IT management consulting practice covering project and program management, PMO setup, organizational change management, and IT strategy. The firm also delivers a proprietary information security framework, AEQUITAS SENSUS, aligned to ISO 27001, KRITIS-V §8a BSIG audits, and NIS2 compliance, and operates two white-label platform products: the Smart Mobility Platform (with a MOBILITY CONTROL administration layer) for shared mobility providers, and WINHITS, a real-time rental asset and warehouse management solution for event and production logistics.

The business model is predominantly project-based professional services sold via direct enterprise field sales under a Trusted Advisor / long-term partnership positioning, with multi-year contracts and custom-quoted engagements; revenue streams split across SAP consulting (professional services), IT management consulting (professional services), and a smaller platform/SaaS layer from the mobility and asset management offerings. Customers are international corporations and German Mittelstand "Hidden Champions" across verticals including machine construction, hydraulics, automotive, energy, FMCG, media, e-mobility, and SMART Cities, served through offices in Hamburg, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Wroclaw, and Mumbai. The firm is founder/management-controlled (CEO Dirk Weinert, board members Torsten Pügge and Christian Spraetz), has no disclosed external funding or private equity ownership, and is recognized in the Brand Eins / Statista Top-100 German consulting rankings (2024 and 2025) with consecutive Kununu TOP Employer awards (2022–2025).

Direct peers

• SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner: German-listed software and consulting firm focused on SAP S/4HANA transformations and data migration. Most direct comparator: similar Mittelstand client base, comparable project-based SAP transformation revenue model, and overlapping Clean Core / selective data migration offerings.
• cbs Corporate Business Solutions: Heidelberg-headquartered SAP global gold partner specializing in S/4HANA and template-based rollouts for international enterprises. Highly comparable on target customer (Hidden Champions, manufacturing), SAP Activate delivery model, and mid-sized consultancy scale (~1,000 employees).
• All for One Group: German-listed SAP consulting and cloud services group serving Mittelstand. Comparable on SAP S/4HANA, RISE, and managed services focus, and on the same Hidden Champions customer segment, though larger and more public-company oriented than Aequitas.
• msg group: Large German IT consulting and software house with strong SAP and insurance/financial-services practices. Overlaps with Aequitas in IT management consulting, SAP projects, and information security, with a deeper industry-vertical footprint.
• Scheer Group: Saarbrücken-based management and IT consulting firm with strong process and SAP advisory practices. Comparable on DACH Mittelstand customer base, business process / SAP transformation offering, and partnership-style delivery.

Broad incumbents

• Capgemini Invent: Global consulting and digital transformation arm of Capgemini with a substantial SAP practice and DACH delivery centers. Comparable on SAP S/4HANA, cloud, and digital transformation services but operates at much larger scale and broader scope than Aequitas.
• Accenture SAP practice: Global Big-4-equivalent systems integrator with the largest SAP consulting practice worldwide. Comparable on SAP S/4HANA, RISE, and large-transformation delivery, but competes at the enterprise end of Aequitas' market and at a very different scale.
• T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom): Deutsche Telekom's enterprise IT arm and a major SAP partner in Germany. Comparable on SAP transformation, managed services, and German Mittelstand/government clients, but operates at much larger scale and as part of a telecom group.
• Atos Germany: Global IT services group with a sizable SAP and digital transformation practice in Germany. Comparable on SAP S/4HANA and IT management consulting offerings, particularly to manufacturing and public-sector clients.

Regional players

• Avanade (Accenture/Microsoft JV): Joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft focused on Microsoft ecosystem and increasingly SAP-adjacent cloud work. Comparable as a global enterprise transformation peer with overlapping target customers; less direct on SAP core but increasingly relevant as SAP/Microsoft interoperability grows in DACH.
