SAP Fiori is a new generation of user experience in SAP products. Instead of navigating complex menus and transactions, users get simple, role-based apps that look and feel familiar and are logical on any device. Whether it’s a sales manager approving requests on the go or a warehouse operator updating inventory on a tablet – SAP Fiori makes SAP accessible, efficient, and enjoyable.
Under the surface, Fiori is powered by SAP UI5 – a powerful development framework used to design and build these modern applications. Together, SAP Fiori and UI5 create a bridge between business process depth and great design, turning SAP into a tool people actually like to use (as hard as it is to believe).
What makes SAP Fiori stand out
SAP Fiori isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about productivity and simplicity. You might need Fiori or UI5 development when:
- Users find the traditional SAP GUI slow or difficult to navigate, while SAP Fiori is intuitive and easy to use.
-
SAP Fiori gives mobile access to SAP solutions – for example, in sales, logistics, or production.
-
It helps you improve system adoption and accelerate training.
-
It enables you to create role-specific dashboards or simplified approval processes.
-
And many more!
With Fiori and UI5, SAP users can finally focus on their work rather than navigate numerous complex screens. Eventually, it results in faster decision-making, higher accuracy, and happier users.

Frequently asked questions about SAP Fiori and SAP UI5
SAP Fiori is the design concept and user experience approach from SAP – a collection of guidelines and ready-to-use apps that make SAP simple and intuitive.
SAP UI5, on the other hand, is the technical framework used to develop Fiori apps. In other words, Fiori defines how apps should look and feel, while UI5 provides the tools and libraries to build them.
Yes. SAP Fiori apps are fully responsive – they automatically adapt to any screen size on desktops, tablets, or smartphones. Whether your team works in the office or on the go, they can access SAP securely and efficiently through Fiori’s mobile-ready design.
No, you don’t. While SAP Fiori is built into S/4HANA, it can also be deployed on SAP ECC systems using the Fiori Launchpad and Gateway. However, S/4HANA provides the best performance and integration options for modern Fiori applications.
The timeline depends on the app’s complexity and requirements. Simple Fiori apps can be ready within a few weeks, while larger, multi-role projects may take several months. At ACBaltica, we use an agile approach – starting with quick prototypes to ensure users can test and refine the app early in development.
SAP Fiori simplifies the SAP experience by focusing on tasks, not transactions. Users complete work faster, make fewer mistakes, and access key data from anywhere. It improves adoption, productivity, and satisfaction – especially for employees who previously found SAP complex or time-consuming.
Absolutely. SAP Fiori apps can be easily customized using SAP UI5 or SAP’s built-in extension framework. This allows you to adjust screens, fields, or workflows without compromising system stability. ACBaltica helps clients strike the right balance between flexibility and clean core principles.
