Irish SaaS Adoption Index - website technographics
Which software is detectable on Irish business websites
A self-crawl of Irish business homepages, fingerprinted for the tools they expose to a plain, unauthenticated fetch, then counted by category. This is website technographics, not a survey - it can only see what a static fetch of the homepage exposes, and it says exactly where that falls short below. For official, survey-based Irish adoption statistics, see the Eurostat report.
The headline
The Irish SaaS Adoption Index activates once a compliant, Irish-resolved crawl seed exists and the first automated crawl runs. Until then no share is shown, because every figure here is crawl-measured from real Irish sites, never estimated.

scripts/intel/crawl-technographics.mjs), never hand-entered, so no unverified number is ever shown here. The crawl fingerprints each site with the Wappalyzer open-source engine and counts the primary tool per category, against a seed of Irish-resolved business domains only. This page goes fully live once that seed exists and the first crawl lands - see the methodology page for why it does not yet.E-commerce platforms

CRM platforms
Awaiting first crawl. No crm platforms share is shown until the automated crawl measures it. We never fill this with an estimate.

Methodology
How this index is measured
This is original data: a self-crawl of an Irish-resolved business seed list, fingerprinted with the Wappalyzer open-source engine. For each tracked category we record the single primary tool on a site, so a tool's share is the number of sites running it divided by the number of crawled sites where that category was detectable at all - a share of DETECTED installs, not of every site crawled. The crawl base (n, every site crawled) is published separately from the detected-site count on every figure, and neither is ever hand-entered.
The series is quarterly and append-only. A re-crawl that finds the same picture changes nothing; a quarter that has not been crawled is left absent rather than carried forward. There is no AI anywhere in the figures. The full method, including the seed list, the share definition and the disclosed blind spots, is on the methodology page.
This page measures website technographics - what a self-crawl can fingerprint on a homepage - which is a different thing from a survey.
