The Challenge
Legacy SAP interfaces are costing your organization adoption, efficiency, and competitive agility
Traditional SAP GUI transactions present hundreds of fields, require deep system knowledge, and were never designed for mobile workers. Low user adoption of SAP investments, high training costs, and error rates driven by interface complexity are symptoms that a Fiori modernization program directly addresses. Organizations that delay UX modernization find their S/4HANA transformation outcomes fall short of projected ROI as users revert to workarounds and shadow systems.
Why QuickHire
Why Enterprises Choose QuickHire
SAP UX Certified Architects
Our lead designers hold SAP Fiori UX certifications and maintain active engagement with SAP design system updates. Every application we deliver is reviewed against current SAP Fiori design guidelines before handover.
Full-Stack SAP Coverage
We provide end-to-end delivery spanning SAPUI5 front-end development, OData service design, ABAP backend logic, and Fiori Launchpad configuration. You engage one team rather than coordinating between fragmented specialist vendors.
Mobile-First Engineering
Fiori applications we build are tested on physical iOS and Android devices before every release milestone. Responsive layout, touch interaction, and offline capability are first-class requirements in our development process.
Accessibility as Standard
WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance is built into our development standards, not bolted on at the end. We conduct screen reader testing and keyboard navigation audits on every application prior to user acceptance testing.
Security and Authorization Expertise
Our team designs authorization models that span PFCG roles, OData service security, and BTP identity management. We conduct security reviews covering CSRF protection, content security policies, and cross-site scripting prevention for every delivery.
Accelerated Delivery with Fiori Elements
We combine Fiori Elements metadata-driven development with custom SAPUI5 for complex screens to optimize delivery speed without sacrificing flexibility. This hybrid approach consistently reduces project timelines by 30 to 50 percent versus fully custom development.
Challenges
Common Enterprise Pain Points
Complex Backend Service Landscape
SAP environments accumulate decades of custom ABAP logic, non-standard data models, and legacy BAPIs that are difficult to expose cleanly through modern OData services. Our architects perform backend assessments to identify the most maintainable path to Fiori-ready services, whether through CDS view modeling, SEGW projects, or RAP behavior definitions, without destabilizing existing integrations.
Authorization and Role Design Complexity
Mapping existing PFCG authorization concepts to Fiori launchpad catalogs, groups, and tile visibility rules requires careful analysis to avoid either over-permissioning or blocking legitimate user access. We conduct role consolidation workshops that align your existing authorization model with Fiori access patterns before any development begins.
Balancing Standardization and Customization
Organizations face pressure to adopt standard SAP Fiori apps to reduce maintenance overhead while also needing to accommodate industry-specific and company-specific process requirements. We apply a structured evaluation framework to each requirement to determine the right blend of standard app adoption, Fiori Elements acceleration, and custom UI5 development.
Performance on Complex Transactions
Fiori applications surfacing data from large SAP tables or complex join hierarchies can exhibit slow load times if OData services are not designed with performance in mind from the outset. Our performance engineering practice addresses $select and $expand optimization, result set paging, server-side aggregation, and front-end resource caching strategies as integrated deliverables within every project.
Transport and Change Management Governance
Large Fiori programs involving dozens of BSP applications, OData services, and launchpad configuration objects require rigorous transport sequencing to prevent landscape inconsistencies during system upgrades or parallel development streams. We establish CTS governance frameworks and, for BTP components, CI/CD pipeline automation that eliminate the manual coordination overhead that derails many enterprise Fiori rollouts.
Our Approach
A structured Fiori delivery model that connects UX design to production-grade SAP engineering
Our SAP Fiori delivery framework spans discovery and UX architecture through OData service design, UI5 development, security implementation, and post-go-live support. We apply SAP strategic development models - Fiori Elements, RAP on S/4HANA, and BTP extensions - to deliver applications that are both usable today and maintainable through future SAP upgrades.
Fiori UX Design and Prototyping
We produce role-based user research, information architecture, and interactive Figma prototypes aligned to SAP Fiori design guidelines before a single line of UI5 code is written, ensuring stakeholder alignment and reducing rework.
SAPUI5 and Fiori Elements Development
Our developers build production-quality UI5 applications using current framework best practices, covering custom controls, OPA5 automated tests, and modular MVC architecture that supports long-term maintenance.
OData Service Architecture
We design OData V2 and V4 services using SAP Gateway, CDS views, and RAP that correctly model entity relationships, handle authorization, and perform efficiently at enterprise data volumes.
Launchpad and Integration Configuration
We configure Fiori Launchpad catalogs, groups, target mappings, and themes, and integrate applications with SAP BTP services, SAP Mobile Services, and third-party identity providers through governed, documented configuration.
Delivery Models
How We Deliver
A focused engagement delivering two to four priority Fiori applications to validate the approach, demonstrate ROI, and build internal confidence before committing to a larger program.
A phased delivery program covering a defined portfolio of custom Fiori applications with parallel UX design, backend service development, and launchpad configuration workstreams.
An ongoing engagement model embedding our SAP Fiori specialists within your organization to handle new application development, enhancements, SAP release adaptation, and governance on a continuous basis.

Our Process
From Discovery to Delivery
Discovery and Scope Definition
Days 1-5We conduct structured workshops to inventory target transactions, assess backend service readiness, and prioritize the application portfolio by business impact and technical feasibility.
UX Design and Architecture
Weeks 2-3Our UX architects produce persona definitions, user journey maps, wireframes, and interactive prototypes reviewed against SAP Fiori guidelines and validated with representative end users.
OData Service and Backend Development
Weeks 2-8Backend engineers build and unit test OData services, CDS views, and supporting ABAP logic in parallel with front-end development to minimize critical path delays.
UI5 Application Development and Integration
Weeks 3-10Front-end developers implement UI5 applications, integrate with OData services, configure the Fiori Launchpad, and execute OPA5 automated tests across the target device matrix.
UAT, Performance Tuning, and Go-Live
Weeks 10-12We support user acceptance testing, conduct performance profiling and remediation, configure production transports, and provide hypercare support during the initial post-go-live period.
