The HICRON Fiori for Automotive component provides automotive industry-specific functionalities enabling Vehicle,

Parts and Warranty Claims processes to be managed using the latest SAP S/4HANA related technologies i.e. SAP FIORI UX

and Embedded Analytics. Below we briefly present the main assumptions and functionalities of the Hicron FIORI Vehicle

Management component, which is a FIORI-based frontend dedicated for the standard SAP Vehicle Management System,

extending the standard SAP VMS capabilities by including the latest analytical options and mobile scenarios.

HICRON FIORI FOR VEHICLE MANAGEMENT

Introduction

Vehicle Management in Fiori – analytical options

Compared to the standard SAP VMS and its reporting functionalities, S4HANA Embedded Analytics provides much more

options in terms of real-time analytics, instant insights on live data, transparency on items requiring attention, enabling new

insight into actions and mobile scenarios, making the management of the entire vehicle pipeline more efficient and

transparent for the user.

The simplest example of the new options is presented on Screen 1, where the Fiori Launchpad shows the user dynamically

calculated numbers of vehicles in different categories requiring attention, such as "Ready For Custom Clearance" or "Late

vehicle arrival". By clicking on the tile the user will be moved directly to specific vehicles and will be able to action on them,

which is described in more details below.

Another example of more advanced use of the Embedded Analytics tools is the Hicron Vehicle Pipeline app, a cockpit

presenting live vehicle data, aggregating vehicle numbers according to different VMS status-based categories.

The data presented in the vehicle pipeline is dynamic i.e. it can be dynamically filtered by the user using the top filter bar; all

the data related to the vehicle can be filtered; the user can also save their favorite personal filters to quickly access them in the

future. The data presented in the cockpit can also be automatically filtered based on user authorizations, organizational and

geographical assignments, e.g. when a dealer is accessing the vehicle pipeline they are only provided with the vehicle number

in given categories that has been already allocated to him.

Based on the insights presented in the cockpit, the user can drill-down to see the details and action on the vehicles from a

given category by simply clicking on it, e.g. clicking on the vehicles. The user is seamlessly moved to the separate “Vehicle

Search” app, which is also based on one of the Embedded Analytics tools with automatically initialized filters based on chosen

data, so now the vehicles are presented in the form of a report list, where each item corresponds to exactly one vehicle. As

always the data presented on the list can be freely adapted to the user. All the data semantically linked to the vehicle in the

back-end SAP can be displayed here.

The user is able to choose individual or multiple vehicles from the list and perform an action on them according to the

designed and implemented VMS business process, e.g. the user can change the default assignment for all selected vehicles:

Directly from the list the user can also drill-down further to review the details of specific vehicles and, based on the detailed

information, also execute actions on individual vehicle, e.g. create claims, confirm vehicle retail.

Vehicle details are displayed on one screen, where all the required details of the vehicle can be adequately presented,

providing the data required and available for a specific user in a transparent manner. The Fiori interface also enables quick

adaptation of the layout of the screen and grouping of the data to fit specific business requirements. Below you can see an

example showing how the standard VMS data can be presented in Fiori.

In the presented flow the user is able to drill-down seamlessly from an analytical pipeline presentation to a transactional

level and is able to action quickly on selected vehicles. Using the Embedded Analytics tools it is also possible to quite easily

implement different analytical apps presenting vehicle data in the required form with different dimensions, aggregates,

charts etc. After drill-down we can always navigate to the same Vehicle Search app allowing the user to execute different

actions and verify the chosen vehicles at the analytical layer.

The Hicron Fiori for Automotive apps enable complete management of SAP VMS processes through the new Fiori interface with

all the benefits of the new UX and Embedded analytics. The solution is meant to completely replace the former SAP GUI VMS

interface and standard SAP Dealer Portal, still being integrated in real-time and using standard back-end VMS data and

functionality (e.g. integrated action matrix). Thanks to the new interface, the apps can be used by importer’s employees, but

also dealers (replacing previous SAP dealer portal) and external 3rd parties with limited data access based on authorizations,

organizational or geographical assignments. What is also important is that the solution is natively responsive and works on

different devices: desktops, tablets and mobile phones.
