Inside DACHSER’s HR migration to SAP S/4HANA through RISE with SAP

01 What happened

A case study published by SAP describes DACHSER’s HCM migration to SAP S/4HANA through RISE with SAP. The move was completed in June 2026 after eight months of collaboration.

02 Key details

• According to SAP, cloud payroll and time management cover 19,000 employees in Germany. The first payroll run took place in July 2026; regular support took over in August.
• SAP BTP and SAP Integration Suite supported the migration. DACHSER continues to use its own transport and warehouse management systems.
• The finance environment has run on Microsoft Azure since October 2024. DACHSER sees RISE with SAP as a possible option for finance after its three-year Azure contract expires.

03 Why it matters

The case illustrates a phased landscape: HR, finance and proprietary logistics applications follow separate paths. The project boundaries, integration layer and support handover provide concrete reference points for SAP implementation teams.
