The challenge to experience the end-to-end process of designing and building a SAP Fiori app. Elements: story, persona, user experience journey, mock-up, and an app prototype (using SAP Web IDE) - documented in a PDF.
1. Building site works monitoring
The main target is to make the construction processes easy where the different works are
defined and each worker or building manager report daily about the finished jobs.
The Supervisor enables and assigns the tasks to the people in charge. They manage the
tasks until they are finished completely. Then the Supervisor must approve them.
It is designed to construction related activities in which the runtime is quite long, one or
two years and we need to monitor the progress of the different tasks, which can take
from one day to several weeks to be finished.
It achieves two important objectives: to settle regularly payments for subcontractor
companies and to know the investment progression about the final cost. The main benefit

is to give support to the activities for
monitoring the amount due for payment in
workplace.
The Key concepts of application are:
• People
• Trades
• Tasks
PERSONA
People who are using the app are: the building
manager from the contractor company and the
people in charge from each subcontractor
company.

TRADES
Different tasks which are done by skilled workers. Each trade has a person in charge, called subcontractor, who joins in all the trade
related activities.
TASKS
The tasks stand for independent work units which are done by one or several workers from the same trade and can take from one
day to weeks long to be finished. All these tasks have a deadline set previously between the contractor and the subcontractor. The
tasks have only one trade subcontractor assigned and they are rated for each trade in each room, apartment or defined work area.

BUSINESS PROCESSES
During the contract negotiation between the contractor and the subcontractor the total cost of the task is settled for each working
area and it´s paid fortnightly or monthly. By the way for each task a percentage of the total cost is assigned. All together must get
to the 100%.
The subcontractor must begin and finish the task on time, and at the same time keep the constructor informed of the task progress.
The contractor checks the tasks, look over to be sure that everything is well done and the time progress is appropriated.
It is very important to foreground the work quality done by the subcontractor. It is handwork and cannot be valued by strict and
objective rules. Sometimes the contractor doesn´t approve the work and the task must be repeated, under the contractor
indications.
By the end of each period the contractor checks the achievements raised, completed tasks to the end or partly and define its value
in order to pay the subcontractor for that work period.
USER CENTRIC AND SIMPLE
Until now, the manager building was giving instructions to subcontractors how tasks have to be done. Later, he oversees the work
to ensure tasks were being done as stipulated in the agreement. At the end of the month he estimates jobs value and manages
payment order.
To do this, there is a need to retrieve the last month measurement reports and to be able to calculate progress.
This stuff is done by computer but it can not be easily moved through whole building.
With this app the manager building could get around the working areas to check quality and be doing measurement progress at the
same place and time.
