Recovering Efficiency with SAP UX Improvements

“Absolute delight working with Bluestonex. We have been able to explore new technology options using SCP including our future UI strategy which heavily focuses on SAP UX improvements.”

-Julian Bolton – IT Director

The Challenge

Princes Foods were using Sky Mobile (legacy system) for various applications (Warehousing and Purchasing amongst others which integrated to SAP) but was at ‘end of life’. The challenge was simple: Replace quickly but with a strategic outlook, incorporating SAP UX improvements to ensure a seamless transition.

The Solution

Princes engaged with their partner Bluestonex. After a series of user experience workshops studying and observing the processes involved, the Bluestonex design team set to work on several iterations of low fidelity apps. After 2 workshops we had framed the problem and provided the customer with game-changing ways SAPUI5 apps (including slipstream UI5) could be used within their transformation, also using the services within the SAP Business Technology Platform, aiming for significant SAP UX improvements.

The Technology

• SAP Business Technology Platform
• SAP Portal / Fiori Launchpad
• SAP Fiori Apps

The Benefits

Removed paper processing from engineering operations as well as retiring old legacy systems.
Increased Efficiency of engineers and ensured data was accurate and timely.
Reduced technical IT complexity with simple architecture.
18 applications deployed and climbing! We currently have 18 applications built and deployed to Princes production landscape and are still working closely with Princes to expand on this.

A combination of SAP Slipstream and SAP UI5 technologies used to provide a seamless, consistent user experience to the end user, exemplifying the core benefits of SAP UX improvements.

Varying from engineering apps that raise malfunction notifications and works orders in the warehouse; to applications for Princes Master data management and governance.
