Tech

Detect which ERP or CRM a company uses, or verify a specific technology, from a domain — confirmed with public web evidence, not vendor data alone.

What it answers

The Tech signal detects which system a company currently uses in a technology category, or verifies whether it uses a specific product. It answers one of two scopes depending on which parameter you supply:

  • Category scope (category) — "Which CRM system does this company use?" Returns every system detected in the category, with the current system of record in primary.
  • Technology scope (technology) — "Does this company use Salesforce?" Returns a one-element technologies list whose status carries the verdict.

Evidence over vendor data

The differentiator of this signal is how it decides. Third-party technographics data is treated as a prior, not the answer. Vendor detections enter the research loop only as leads to verify, and every reported technology must cite public web evidence — a job posting, engineering blog, documentation, a case study, or a live website fingerprint from the company's own site.

A vendor row is never itself the citation. A hint that can't be corroborated on the public web surfaces as status: not_found — an explicit "checked but unconfirmed" element — rather than being reported as a confirmed finding or silently dropped. This is what keeps the signal from regurgitating a technographics column: the answer reflects what could be verified, not what a data provider guessed.

Request

Supply a domain plus exactly one of category or technology. Providing neither, or both, returns a 422.

# Category scope: which CRM does this company use?
curl -X POST https://api.saber.app/v1/signals/sync/tech \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "domain": "monday.com",
    "category": "crm"
  }'
# Technology scope: does this company use Salesforce?
curl -X POST https://api.saber.app/v1/signals/sync/tech \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "domain": "monday.com",
    "technology": "salesforce"
  }'
FieldTypeRequiredDescription
domainstringyesCompany domain to research.
categorystringone ofCoarse category to survey: erp or crm. Mutually exclusive with technology.
technologystringone ofA specific technology to check for, as free text (e.g. salesforce, SAP S/4HANA); Saber resolves it to a canonical registry slug. Mutually exclusive with category.
webhookUrlstringnoWhere to deliver the completed result. Intended for the async endpoint; if supplied on sync, the webhook still fires in addition to the response.
forceRefreshbooleannoBypass the cache and force a fresh run.

An unresolvable technology value returns a 422 with did-you-mean suggestions, so a typo fails fast rather than researching the wrong product.

Response

Both scopes return the same shape; scope tells you which was asked.

FieldTypeDescription
scopestringcategory or technology — which question was asked.
categorystringThe requested category (erp/crm). Present for category-scope answers.
technologiesarrayTechnologies investigated, strongest evidence first. Each carries a canonical technology slug, displayName, confidence, status, lastEvidence, and an evidence list.
primarystringCanonical slug of the single current system of record; omitted when no clear primary exists.

Each technology's status is one of:

  • active — current use, backed by recent public evidence.
  • churned — evidence shows the company moved off it (e.g. a migration announcement).
  • not_found — a vendor-data hint was checked but no public evidence of current use was found. Its evidence list is empty.

Every evidence entry has a type (job_posting, engineering_blog, docs, case_study, or website_fingerprint) and a public url. A website_fingerprint is a technology observed live on the company's own site (a script, cookie, header, or DOM detection) — direct public evidence, distinct from any vendor data row.
