HR Module Fiorization for a Global Corporation

LeverX successfully implemented new role-based HR software with a device-independent interface, thus saving internal resources and reducing the time required for onboarding and new employees’ adaptation.

Client

The customer is an international corporation with over 90,000 employees worldwide. Its HR organization supports multiple regions and business units, requiring scalable, consistent processes and a robust digital employee experience.

Challenge

The company relied on legacy HR software accessed through the classic SAP GUI. This environment created several issues:

• Slow onboarding and training: Complex, multi-step HR processes made onboarding and training for new employees unacceptably long and resource-intensive.
• Manual and repetitive work: HR staff and managers spent significant time on data entry and routine administrative tasks.
• Outdated user experience: The non-role-based interface was difficult to navigate and did not reflect modern UX standards.
• Lack of a responsive, mobile-ready interface: Employees and managers could not perform HR tasks from mobile devices, limiting flexibility and slowing approvals.

The company needed a flexible, role-based HR solution, available on any device, with intuitive workflows capable of supporting a global workforce at scale.

Solution

LeverX redesigned the HR user experience by developing a suite of SAP Fiori applications tailored to the customer’s HR processes and roles.

Key elements of the solution:

• Role-based Fiori applications
  Legacy SAP GUI screens were replaced with role-based SAP Fiori applications, so employees and managers could see only the functionality relevant to their responsibilities.
• Redesigned HR workflows
  Core HR processes, including time management, vacation requests, attendance tracking, and schedule approvals, were rebuilt following SAP Fiori design principles to simplify multi-step transactions and improve data traceability.
• Device-independent access
  All Fiori applications were optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile, enabling employees and managers to complete HR tasks from any device.

Over two years, LeverX worked closely with HR and IT teams, conducting process analysis and user workshops, piloting the new system with 1,200 users, and then rolling it out to more than 80,000 employees.

Technology Stack

• User interface layer: SAP Fiori / SAPUI5
  Provides a modern, web-based, responsive interface that replaces legacy SAP GUI screens with role-based HR applications.
• Backend logic and integration: ABAP
  Implements HR business logic, time and attendance processing, and integration between Fiori applications and existing HR processes.
• Security and access control: SAP role-based authorizations
  Ensures users access only the data and functions relevant to their roles, supporting compliance and clear segregation of duties.

Results

The HR module Fiorization delivered significant improvements to both operations and user experience:

• Decreased onboarding and training time thanks to intuitive, role-based interfaces and simplified HR workflows.
• Improved accessibility and flexibility by enabling employees and managers to perform HR tasks on any device.
• Reduced administrative overhead by streamlining time and attendance workflows, freeing HR and line managers to focus on strategic initiatives.
• Increased data accuracy across HR operations through clearer workflows and better traceability.

The new SAP Fiori-based HR system fully met the project goals, modernizing the employee experience and providing a scalable foundation for future HR process enhancements.
