SOUR SERVICES

Our consultants have been crafting (yes crafting), beautiful SAP experiences across desktop, tablet & mobile devices. For us, every SAP project is a unique experience, from ERP implementations to delivering enterprise mobile solutions, our agile and collaborative approach helps customers maximise the true value of their investment in SAP technology.

SAP User Experience

User dynamics & human interaction with SAP enterprise technology has recently placed itself at the forefront of SAP topics, under the new heading “Run Simple”. From our perspective, SAP interaction has too often presented business users with a myriad of daily operational challenges in a modern enterprise working environment where users are often time constrained by over-complex workflow tasks. We use design thinking to improve your User Experience through tools like SAP Fiori and SAP Screen Personas.

Whether you’re on premise on interested in cloud we can deliver value through Blueskyx services utilising our services and SAP Cloud Platform.

    COur Company Timeline

    • Where the journey began - 2012

      We were always obsessed with 'user experience' but back then we called it different things. The founders have lived long in the frustration of ERP systems and played a lot with user interfaces whilst trying to educate on carving out the most value from enterprise software.

    • ‘Stick to what your good at’ - 2013

      Its easy to get sucked into following the fashion and not trying to break the mould. We found the challenge a tough one but believed in what we did. The feedback from customers confirmed what we believed in. A few small wins but Design thinking, Innovation and UX was going to be here for a long time.

    • 'Green shoots - 2014'

      We started growing the company slowly but surely…carefully nurturing what we had started by investing in people (the right people). A new breed of SAP consultancy with a flair for design & a touch of pragmatism. We strived to bring these two sometimes contrasting skills to the SAP market. It is working. It is growing.

    • ‘Out with the new, in with the old’ - 2015

      Our Innovation office in the UK began. Sometimes developing on old technology but delivering a new user experience. A unique and simple solution to a very complex problem. ‘Don’t take this the wrong way but it is too simple’ was one comment. We thanked them very much for their observation.

    • ‘Pastures new’ - 2016

      We move into new areas of digital innovation and new industry sectors using design thinking to break down the barriers. We continue to grow our team and embrace new digital SAP technologies.

    • Design & Innovation Centre – 2017

      Our new design and innovation center ‘The Church Offices’ in the heart of Shropshire. A refurbished old baptist church with the space, light and architecture to inspire customers and developers when working alongside us.

    • The Future of UX - 2018

      New technologies emerge around user experience and we are on top of it. Whether it be plug and play UX in the cloud or on premise we can deliver our new UX transformation via ‘Blueskyx’ our new service offering.

    • Cloud Model for Customers - 2019

      Cloud services are booming and Bluestonex are here to help customers get more from cloud services. We are one of very few partners offering a PMC model (Partner Managed Cloud).

    • AppHaus - 2020

      We are very proud to announce that Bluestonex have been invited to join the App Haus network. We are one of 10 global locations part of a global network of innovators/designers.

    Wayne Green - Head of IT & SAP

    We have worked with Bluestonex for Eurocell’s UX strategy deploying a mixture of Slipstream and UI5 applications onto the Fiori Launch Pad for our retail outlets, logistics/warehouse and procurement users. Working with the innovation and UX team at Bluestonex has been a pleasure and they have helped us think outside of the traditional ERP mind set and added significant value and excellent customer service.

    Sarah Whiers - Head of Accounting Operations

    "The Bluestonex team ensure they understood our requirements from the start and developed an App with user experience at its heart. The solution is multi-device, simple and intuitive and has been very positively received by our business users in the field."

    Julian Bolton - Business Systems Manager - Operations

    Absolute delight working with these guys. We have been able to explore new technology options and delivery working pilot solutions which will form the basis of our future UI strategy. This has all been done fast and efficiently with excellent customer service.

    Chris Whinfrey - Brakes Network Implementation Director

    “We engaged with Bluestonex as we required user experience advisory services regarding supply chain process execution. Their design thinking approach coupled with a deep understanding of SAP logistics helped us realise the value of user experience & how to improve our existing SAP solution”

    Malcolm Hamilton – Arla UK Customer Services Manager

    "We engaged with Bluestonex Consulting because of their deep knowledge of SAP ECC, especially SAP logistics. They responded very quickly and have resolved the issues we were having following a comprehensive root cause analysis. We will now look to use their knowledge to transfer to our own in-house customer service team via the BluestoneX training programme.”

    John Mclarnon - Head of Information Systems

    A very forward thinking company with some excellent specialisms. I have been liaising directly with Bluestonex for a number of months and absolutely appreciate their professionalism, innovation and idea generation to align our business application strategy with their service & product offerings.
