What Gicom Group does

Gicom Group (legal entity: gicom AG) is a privately held German SAP consulting boutique headquartered in Overath near Cologne, with a secondary office in Dortmund. Founded in 1997, the company focuses exclusively on SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) delivery for three vertical segments: wholesale (Großhandel), retail (Einzelhandel), and industry/consumer goods (Industrie/Konsumgüterbranche). Gicom explicitly positions itself against large system integrators by emphasizing custom, strategic engagements over template-based consulting, and it markets itself as a 'sparringspartner' (sparring partner) for enterprise decision-makers rather than a body-leasing vendor.

The company's offering combines SAP S/4HANA transformation and core consulting with a portfolio of proprietary SAP-native products: gicom Agreement Documentation (AD) / Smart Agreement Manager (SAM) for conditions digitization, gicom Agreement Negotiation Workbench (ANW) for negotiation simulation, gicom Handelskalkulation for trade calculation, gicom Trade Portal for trading-partner collaboration, and gicom Artikelanlage for article master-data management. Service lines include S/4HANA core consulting (including Retail for Merchandise Management, master data, billing, and Public Cloud), BTP-based clean-core development, analytics and interfaces, and tailored engagement packages. Gicom holds SAP Innovation Partner status and cites 25+ years of SAP competency.

Gicom's revenue model is predominantly professional services, augmented by license-style deployment of its proprietary SAP add-ons. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are sold via customized packages and direct consultation bookings. The company reports €10 million in revenue for 2024 and states active projects across 10+ countries, with the GTM motion centered on direct enterprise field sales, executive-level consultative engagement, and inbound leads from the SAP partner ecosystem. The firm operates as an Aktiengesellschaft (AG) under German law with no disclosed parent, institutional, or private-equity ownership.

Direct peers
