SAP Fiori
Personalized, user-friendly and intuitive: SAP Fiori is the new central UI and UX concept for the user interfaces of SAP applications.
SAP Fiori in a Nutshell
SAP Fiori was originally introduced to provide cross-system self-services as web services, such as vacation requests or approvals, but has now become the central concept for SAP user interfaces. It covers all business functions and serves as the new user interface for SAP S/4HANA.
SAP Fiori enhances user-friendliness with its modern and ergonomic design as well as its dialogue-based handling.
It centers around a role-based and context-sensitive provision of functions. The goal is to not overwhelm users with unnecessary options, but guide them through transactions in a comprehensible manner.
In addition, you receive a customizable dashboard, the SAP Fiori Launchpad, which you can arrange individually based on your frequently used applications and relevant key figures. It does not matter which application uses which backend – there are no system discontinuities for end users. As SAP Fiori uses a web browser with a responsive display, it works across all devices.
The Benefits of SAP Fiori
Implementing SAP Fiori
We offer workshops for developing a Fiori strategy for your company and provide pre-built apps as well as KPI/insights solutions. In these workshops we help you to utilize our Fiori sets for various levels of analytics and KPI assessment, so you will be able to introduce the SAP Fiori Launchpad while also leveraging the benefits of operational key metrics, insights, and linking transactions. We also collaborate with you to develop your very own Fiori apps based on your requirements and processes.
Best-Practices for the Various Possibilities With SAP Fiori
Thanks to SAP Fiori proximity to the SAP standard and a high level of ergonomics are not mutually exclusive. Are you wondering when and for which tasks specific Fiori dialogs, presets for the Launchpad, or mobile applications are best suited for your company? We have already tested and incorporated these solutions into our modular solution landscape for SAP implementations and would be happy to present some of those examples to you in person.
Our Solution for a Standard-Aligned Implementation
We combine standard processes and process configurations through customization. These processes are tailored and thoroughly tested to meet the operational and ergonomic requirements of warehouse and transportation logistics. If needed, customers can configure additional modular close-to-standard solution components.
This modular solution spectrum for SAP S/4HANA is named prismat/RAKETE for S/4HANA. It is available at any time as a cloud system for knowledge transfer and prototyping. Process discussions, testing, and training can be conducted even before the start of your implementation project.
Project Acceleration
Avoid recurring errors through documented processes and coordinated methodologies, thereby ensuring optimal project schedules.
Close to Standard and Customized
Standards facilitate collaboration, but they may not cover all requirements. Therefore, with our prismat/RAKETE solution, we have emphasized standard alignment while also being able to create individual solutions through an expandable and flexible process design.
Save Effort, Time, and Costs
Easily shorten the project duration. Thanks to our ready-to-use modular solution components, you can also save costs and time in development efforts.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about SAP Fiori
One option is the cloud-based implementation using the SAP Business Technology Platform and the Cloud Connector specifically designed for this setup. The advantage of this architecture option is that there is no need for local infrastructure and system maintenance is handled by the provider.
Another option is the on-premises architecture, for which a Fiori Front-End Server is coupled with the SAP backend via Trusted RFC on a local server.
The »SAP Fiori Reference Library« provides information on which Fiori apps are already available (for S/4HANA customers). A fitting Fiori app may either already be available or a nearly suitable application can be customized to your needs.
Another approach is to develop a Fiori app yourself. For this purpose SAP provides developer tools, references, and libraries. Of course, there are SAP partners who can advise you on development or collaborate with you on the implementation – such as prismat!
The Launchpad can be used with any current browser. Its adaptive layout enables the display on any device including mobile devices.
As part of S/4HANA, SAP Fiori is continuously evolving as a strategic UI/UX concept. For example, in version 2.0, the viewport became more flexible and extended the desktop view on the left and right, while SAP Fiori 3.0 introduced new features for flat tiles – expanded function tiles that bundle information, including timelines and listings in real time.
