Other hardware such as printers, buttons or roller shutters can also be addressed by web apps via TheFlex. For this purpose, ready-made interfaces are available for the most common devices, but any individual interfaces can also be implemented.

SAP FioriITS-MobileSAP BTPSAP certified and optimized
Most new SAP applications are developed and optimized exclusively for SAP-Fiori or ITS-Mobile. To be able to use them, a web browser is necessary. TheFlex industry browser is specially tailored for use with SAP-Fiori and ITS-Mobile:
- 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
With TheFlex Browser you can get the full potential out of your SAP Fiori apps. Why develop optimized, high-quality Fiori apps that cannot be used optimally on standard browsers?
The TheFlex industry browser is now also available in the SAP Store. Tested and specifically tailored for use with SAP, this browser was developed with a focus on SAP Fiori and ITS Mobile.
Secure and easy logins
Forgotten or lost login data is a thing of the past. TheFlex allows you to control access to your apps or websites securely and conveniently.
Secure login via certificate on smartcards. Simple and intuitive for users.
Single sign-on and authentication via OAuth providers such as Microsoft Azure.
Easy and fast login via NFC chips.
Quick login with just one scan at SAP, Azure or other systems.
Every setting, managed centrally.
Every TheFlex setting can be rolled out to every device, either through any MDM or as a single configuration file.
- Works with any Android Enterprise MDM: Intune, SOTI MobiControl, VMware, MobileIron, Hexnode, and every other.
- Push changes to thousands of devices in seconds. No action required at the device.
- 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.
Aren't screens always too small anyway?
Almost all screens are very small for users in production and logistics, especially if they have to be operated with gloves. With most browsers, a large part of the screen is occupied by useless elements that take away space from the actual application. TheFlex, on the other hand, gives the application 100% of the screen.
Do you operate the device exclusively with scanners? Only by hand? Or both with scanners and by hand? TheFlex offers the right keyboard control for all scenarios:
The keyboard is never opened. It can be opened via API.
The keyboard does not open automatically, only when you click on the input field.
Default behavior, keyboard opens as usual.

- 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.
