Unlock SAP S/4HANA ROI Like NPPD: Fully Enabling Fiori for 20% Productivity Gains

Is your S/4HANA deployment still stuck in the old GUI, wasting hours every week?
If your users aren’t on Fiori, you’re paying for modern SAP—and getting yesterday’s experience.


How NPPD flipped the script

  • Background: Nebraska Public Power District was live on S/4HANA 2020 with 100+ activated Fiori apps—but users still relied on SAP GUI for Accounts Payable. That meant slow invoice processing, tribal knowledge gaps and risk of losing in‑house expertise.
  • 5‑week design sprint: We kicked off with fit/gap workshops and persona mapping (AP specialist, supervisor, manager). In just one month we:
    • Identified 44 high‑value Fiori apps and mapped them to real tasks
    • Configured security roles and built custom launchpad content
    • Developed hi‑fi mockups, then deployed 72 apps (35 Fiori, 33 GUI, 4 URLs)
    • Ran 15 “see it, do it” training sessions and two weeks of hypercare support
  • Measurable impact:
    • 20 % productivity lift in AP—faster approvals, fewer manual steps and a 30–50 % reduction in invoice “touches”
    • Error rates down by up to 20 % through built‑in analytics and streamlined workflows
    • Leadership gained real‑time dashboards to track adoption and ROI—and a repeatable playbook to roll Fiori out across eight more departments

Why Mindset is uniquely qualified

  • First U.S. AppHaus partner: our human‑centered design sprints turn SAP complexity into intuitive Fiori experiences in weeks
  • 350+ BTP & Fiori apps built: at Cargill, 3M, Ecolab and beyond, we’ve delivered real UX transformations that stick
  • Built‑in analytics accelerators: every launchpad ships with pre‑configured dashboards so you measure adoption, ROI and error‑rate drops from day one

Stop under‑utilizing your investment. Let’s get your users loving S/4HANA—and prove it with real data.
