Top 5 SAP Fiori Apps You Should Be Using

Let’s be honest: SAP GUI screens can sometimes feel liked eciphering hieroglyphics, especially before your morning coffee kicks in. Enter SAP Fiori—the sleek, intuitive, and modern user interface that transforms SAP from a grumpy old grandpa into a cool, tech-savvy uncle.

Ever felt like using traditional SAP interfaces is a bit like navigating a spaceship with 1990s tech? You're not alone. While SAP is undeniably powerful, its classic screens don’t always make day-to-day workeasy—or enjoyable. That’s where SAP Fiori comes in. Think of it as SAP’s modern makeover: cleaner layouts, mobile-friendly design, and user-centric features that make business processes way less painful.

Whether you're approving purchase orders, tracking sales, or handling service requests, Fiori offers apps that can seriously level up your workflow. But with thousands of apps out there, where do you even begin? That’s where this blog helps. We’re narrowing it down to the five Fiori apps that pack the most punch—saving you time, clicks, and probably a few gray hairs.

You’ll get a glimpse of what each app does, why it matters, and how it can simplify your daily grind. Plus, we’ll throw in some stats, a few laughs, and links to official SAP documentation to keep things practical.

As the late Steve Jobs once said,
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
