Introduction: Moving Past Functionality – Redefining Priorities in SAP User Experience
In the modern enterprise world, just having functionality is no longer enough. Whether you’re in oil & gas, manufacturing, retail, or mining, how users interact with SAP systems can either accelerate productivity or slow operations to a crawl. This is where SAP Fiori steps in to transform the game.
At Splisys, we see user-focused experience design as the cornerstone of future SAP adoption. Our SAP Fiori UI/UX strategies are not only crafted with design thinking but also tailored to the real operational context of your business.
This blog is a deep dive into why user experience matters more than ever, how SAP Fiori delivers on this promise, and how Splisys executes this transformation with real-world results.
Why SAP Fiori?
SAP Fiori is not just a design system. It’s a shift in mindset. It brings consumer-grade user experience to enterprise applications, ensuring consistency, responsiveness, and clarity across all devices and user journeys.
Instead of navigating complex SAP transactions, users get role-based, task-specific apps that are intuitive, accessible, and responsive.

Design Thinking for Enterprise Applications
When Splisys takes on a Fiori-based transformation, it begins with one principle: Design with Empathy. This involves:
- Deep discovery workshops with end-users
- Analyzing usage pain-points across business functions
- Identifying micro-interactions that matter in workflows
- Rapid prototyping and real-time feedback loops
Design thinking helps solve challenges at the user interface level, creating a positive impact on overall process efficiency and enhancing user satisfaction.
Key SAP Fiori Design Principles We Follow at Splisys
- Role-Based Design: We build apps for tasks, not transactions. Each interface is optimized for the role it supports, ranging from plant operators to financial controllers.
- Consistency Across Devices: SAP Fiori apps at Splisys are built to deliver uniform behavior whether on desktop, tablet, or mobile.
- Simple, Yet Powerful UI: We eliminate unnecessary data clutter. Interfaces are minimal, purposeful, and highly actionable.
- Responsive and Adaptive Layouts: Screen real estate is intelligently used to show only what’s relevant, ensuring faster actions with fewer clicks.
- Real-Time Feedback Loops: Users can submit interface feedback instantly, enabling iterative improvements.
Real-World Impact: What Our Clients Have Achieved
Here’s how Splisys-designed SAP Fiori interfaces have impacted business performance across key industries:
Oil & Gas: Usability that Fuels Efficiency
In an industry where complex field operations, safety compliance, and real-time data access are critical, intuitive UI is no longer optional; it’s a game changer.

Replacing fragmented legacy systems with real-time SAP Fiori apps enabled field engineers to log operational and safety data on mobile devices, even offline, minimizing manual errors and boosting accountability.
Manufacturing: Smarter Interfaces, Faster Output
In modern manufacturing, production speed and traceability are everything. SAP Fiori helped streamline core shop floor activities—without the learning curve.
