Startpages

Open straight into the app. No URL bar, no detours.

Predefine the websites and Fiori apps your users need. TheFlex opens them automatically on launch.

Classic startpages

A simple flat list, ideal for one or a few apps.

  • Predefined URLs open on launch, no typing required.
  • Switch between test, QA, and production from the toolbar.
  • Optional pre-fill of SAP Fiori and ITS-Mobile credentials.
Menu startpages

A folder-based hierarchy, ideal when many URLs need to stay organised.

  • Group apps by department, system, or location.
  • Nest folders to any depth, reorder by drag and hold.
  • Push the whole menu structure centrally via MDM.

SAP support and Fiori support for TheFlexSAP FioriITS-MobileSAP BTP
SAP / Fiori / ITS-Mobile

SAP certified and optimized

New SAP applications are built for SAP Fiori or ITS-Mobile, and they need a browser. TheFlex is tailored exactly for that:

  • Support for SAP-Fiori, ITS-Mobile and SAP-BTP Apps
  • Storing SAP login credentials
  • Multi-SAP logins for test and production systems
  • NFC functionality for SAP Fiori
  • Automatically fix display errors

Get the full potential out of your Fiori apps instead of losing it to a standard browser.

SAP Store

TheFlex is available in the SAP Store: tested and tailored for SAP Fiori and ITS-Mobile.

Security through simplicity

Secure and easy logins

Forgotten passwords are a thing of the past: TheFlex controls access to your apps securely and conveniently.

Login with smartcard

Secure login via certificate on smartcards. Simple and intuitive for users.

Login with OAuth

Single sign-on and authentication via OAuth providers such as Microsoft Azure.

Login with NFC chip

Easy and fast login via NFC chips.

Login with QR code

Quick login with just one scan at SAP, Azure or other systems.

Central configuration

Every setting, managed centrally.

Every TheFlex setting can be rolled out to every device, either through any MDM or as a single configuration file.

Roll out via MDM
  • Works with any Android Enterprise MDM: Intune, SOTI MobiControl, VMware and more.
  • Push changes to thousands of devices in seconds. No action required at the device.
Roll out via configuration file
  • Export the full configuration as a JSON file, distribute via MDM, shared drive, USB or script.
  • Or use the QR-code variant for ad-hoc rollouts: scan once and the device is fully configured.
Utilize the entire screen

Aren't screens always too small anyway?

Industrial screens are small, and standard browsers waste much of them on bars and menus. TheFlex gives your application 100% of the screen.

Customize or automate existing websites

Custom Scripts adapt the look of almost any website and automate its functions.

You develop and modify the scripts yourself, for example:

  • Adapt old websites, such as ITS-Mobile, to small scanner screens.
  • Hide unnecessary information.
  • Enlarge or highlight important information in color.
  • Automate login or other processes.

More on this in the documentation for developers.

How long does setup and configuration take?

For simple applications, configuration is completed within an hour. For complex applications, it strongly depends on the requirements.
