BTP Discovery
Map what's actually possible on SAP BTP for your business, before any build begins.
SAP AppHaus Methodology
We make SAP work for people first, always
We are one of only 19 SAP Apphaus partners in the world certified and accredited by SAP to deliver its human-centred approach to innovation.
Our team is trained to facilitate workshops, run discovery sessions, and guide design decisions that turn an SAP investment into something your people actually want to use.
Technology changes fast. People don’t.
Why the 'AppHaus' approach?
Chase the latest platform, the latest AI model, the latest release, and you'll always be one step behind. There's always a newer one coming. Technology is the symptom. The real business issues, how people work, what they need, where the friction actually is, are the root cause, and they change far more slowly.
The AppHaus approach starts there instead. Before a line of code gets written or an app gets built, we run structured workshops with the people who'll actually use the solution, testing assumptions and validating the real problem while that's still cheap to get wrong. Get that right, and the technology choices get a lot easier.
APPHAUS ETHOS DRIVING INNOVATION
Design Thinking Methodology
We don’t design solutions for processes or systems; we design them for the people who use them. Design thinking is the principle at the heart of the AppHaus that we use to shape how we listen, collaborate and validate. It forces organisations to confront complexity early, to align business and IT perspectives, and to create shared understanding before development begins.
With The AppHaus Network, design thinking is not an optional add-on. It's the methodology that transforms SAP projects from technical exercises into solutions people actually adopt and value.
AppHaus Services
Areas we cover in our workshops
At our AppHaus, we meet you wherever you are. Some businesses know exactly what they want to build and just need it done properly. Others aren't even sure yet what the real problem is. Either way, that's the starting point we work from, not a fixed package you're slotted into.
AI Use-Case Discovery Session
A working session to separate genuine AI opportunities from ones that just sound good in a slide.
App Development
Building the SAP-native applications that come out of the design process.
UX Consulting
Ongoing guidance to keep user experience central as your SAP landscape evolves, not just at launch.
Integration Suite Discovery
Map your integration landscape and identify where SAP Integration Suite can simplify it.
Design Thinking Workshops
Facilitated sessions that bring your real users into the design process from day one.
BDC Discovery
Understand how Business Data Cloud could work for your data landscape, and whether it's the right fit.
Clean Core Discovery
Assess where custom code and extensions sit against SAP's clean core principles, and what that means for your upgrade path.
Process Automation Discovery
Identify the manual processes most worth automating, and what that would actually take.
User Research
Direct engagement with the people who'll use the system, to understand what they actually need, not what a spec assumes they need.
Usability Testing
Putting a design in front of real users before it's finished, so required changes get caught while they're still easy to implement.
Bespoke Sessions
Something else in mind? If it's within reach of what we already do, tell us what you're trying to solve and we'll find a way to help. Not every good idea fits neatly into a named service.
Where Innovation Happens
Our AppHaus space is based in a converted church in Oswestry, Shropshire: offices, conference rooms, a usability lab, and an open collaborative space built specifically for this kind of work. It's a genuine purpose-built destination, not a shared meeting room borrowed for the occasion.
Shropshire is an understated location for innovation. It is the birthplace of both the modern Olympic Games and the Industrial Revolution. Our home county may appear quiet, but has a long-standing history of values that align perfectly with what the AppHaus stands for.
