SAP Fiori Apps
Well-equipped for mobile with SAP Fiori Apps
After transitioning to SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fiori apps on the Fiori launchpad become the intuitive entry point to the relevant SAP applications. SAP Fiori is a design system that delivers a consistent, role-based UX across various device types. Applications run not only on desktops but also on tablets and smartphones from a single code base – thanks to adaptive design principles.
SAP Fiori is built on five core design principles:
Role-Based
Apps deliver the right information at the right time, tailored to the user’s role.
Delightful
A user experience that is not only efficient but also enjoyable.
Coherent
A unified look and feel and consistent interactions across all apps – for example, via the Fiori launchpad.
Simple
Focus on what matters: intuitive flows, clear navigation, and minimal input.
Adaptive
A design that seamlessly adjusts to different devices and usage contexts.
A special advantage: In addition to the wide selection of more than 15,000 Fiori apps in the Fiori Apps Reference Library, custom Fiori apps can be developed using the UI5 framework based on HTML5. For most Fiori app users, this framework is typically the tool of choice: with UI5, you can develop your own SAP Fiori apps for S/4HANA, extend standard apps, or replace the predecessor SAP GUI with SAPUI5.
Conclusion
The Fiori Apps Reference Library is a valuable starting point – but most companies’ business processes are unique. As a result, extending standard apps (e.g. with SAPUI5 Flexibility) or developing custom Fiori apps with SAPUI5/OpenUI5 is often the best approach.
Do you need SAPUI5-based development or customizations for your Fiori apps?
SAPUI5 / OpenUI5: A level of technical expertise is required
In many cases, SAP UI5 is the right choice for customised user-friendly apps. Ideally, the developers will acquire the requisite expertise prior to beginning work on the project. Here at j&s-soft, it is customary to learn how to use new frameworks and tools as soon as they are released and to test them for their suitability for the respective project before implementation. We have over a decade of experience working on UI5 projects, making us an ideal partner for your SAPUI5 project.
Project planning is key
There are numerous possibilities for UI5-based Fiori apps. The benefits that your company gains are 80% dependent on the project being set up correctly. In order to ensure everything runs smoothly with Fiori / UI5 projects, we recommend that the backend and frontend projects run in parallel. Detailed project planning is a must and this should be determined prior to kick-off. In our experience, this project model leads to the best results and ensures that both the timeline and the budget can be adhered to.
SAPUI5 or OpenUI5?
OpenUI5 is the open-source variant of SAPUI5. OpenUI5 was developed by SAP so apps can be created that aren’t linked to a specific operating system. SAPUI5 includes OpenUI5 along with some extra features, such as charting features. But the core of both versions is identical so the level of development is also the same.
Simple SAP Fiori Elements: App templates for business data analysis in SAP

We can advise you on the use cases when SAP Fiori Elements offers a simple, practical solution for apps and automations so you can save time and money on development costs. In addition, we can provide the technical framework to ensure that SAP Fiori Elements can be seamlessly integrated into your system environment. Contact us to find out more!
Another low-code solution: SAP Build
With the SAP Build Apps tool, SAP Build provides predefined app templates beyond the SAPUI framework. SAP Build Process Automation also means that it is possible to set up and modify automations without any programming knowledge. Users can use SAP Build Work Zone to set up their own workstation and have access to all the apps they require.
Do you want to allow colleagues with little programming knowledge (citizen developers) to create their own apps? We can help with the set-up of SAP Build and, when it comes to it, implementing the required configurations. Find out more!
