SAP to acquire workforce data firm TechWolf

German software company SAP said on Tuesday it had agreed to buy TechWolf, a Belgian company that analyses workforce data to map employees’ skills and tasks, for an undisclosed sum.

The deal gives SAP a view of its customers’ workforces that its own HR software lacks, at a time when companies reorganise around AI and need to know which skills they have and which they are losing.

SAP expects to close the acquisition in the fourth quarter, subject to regulatory approval.
