By delivering robust custom solutions for complex logic and clean core transitions, we ensure seamless integration with your existing IT landscape to create maximum added value. Through every step of the journey, we guide you from your initial vision to the final go-live, always maintaining a strong focus on quality, manageability, and scalability.

Low-code development with Mendix

Mendix is a powerful low-code development platform that enables us to deliver web and mobile applications at speed. With a visual interface, drag-and-drop functionality, and ready-made components, you can easily design, test, and deploy applications. This bridges the gap between IT and the business, so applications truly match the needs of day-to-day operations, and time-to-market is accelerated.

More about Mendix

SAP Build on SAP Business Technology Platform

SAP Build is the low-code development toolset within the SAP Business Technology Platform. With it, you can add innovations to your SAP landscape without changing the core of your ERP (which is known as a clean core). It is ideal for digitising workflows and processes that are directly intertwined with your SAP data.

Two approaches to app development

Both Mendix and SAP Build offer powerful capabilities for app development, but they differ in focus. Mendix is particularly well suited to building applications that sit outside an SAP core, and offers strong visual flexibility and fast iterations, from prototype to production. SAP Build on BTP is ideal when applications need to be directly connected to SAP systems and processes, with built-in governance, integration, and security within one central SAP platform.

Why Mendix low-code with Aiden

With Mendix, Aiden develops applications quickly without complex code. Thanks to standard connectors, these applications integrate easily with external systems and SAP back ends. Aiden has also developed specific connectors and templates, making integration with your IT landscape (SAP or otherwise) seamless.

The platform offers options for building native mobile apps and responsive web applications, enhanced with AI support, workflows, and process automation. As an experienced Mendix partner, Aiden supports organisations from proof of concept through to high-quality enterprise applications.

Why SAP Build with Aiden

Aiden combines in-depth SAP knowledge with expertise in SAP Build to help businesses innovate quickly and in a controlled way within their SAP landscape. With our experience in SAP BTP, we develop applications and automations that fit seamlessly into existing SAP processes, with built-in security and governance. Aiden is happy to help you make the transition to the cloud by converting customisations from your legacy ERP system into standard solutions in SAP Build.

From strategy and design to delivery and management, Aiden is your partner for scalable, future-proof SAP Build solutions.

Digital self-service portal for B2B customers

Description: A 24/7 online portal where B2B customers have self-service access to orders, deliveries, invoices, and returns, significantly reducing the need to contact customer service
Underlying technology: Mendix low-code front end with role-based access and integrations with ERP, CRM, and transport platforms
Result: Lower workload and service costs, faster response times, and higher customer satisfaction

Mobile quality control app for production and procurement

Description: A mobile app that allows quality staff to record inspections digitally, including scores, batch data, and photos, enabling fast and consistent quality registration for incoming goods and production
Underlying technology: A Mendix low-code app with mobile support and integration with ERP for batches, suppliers, and workflows
Result: Faster quality checks, fewer errors, real-time insight, better supplier collaboration, and higher product quality

Intelligent warehouse cockpit for high-volume logistics

Description: A central ‘Control Tower’ application for warehouse planners. The app provides real-time visibility into thousands of order lines and combines data from SAP EWM, IoT sensors on conveyor belts, and carriers’ track and trace APIs. Using a drag-and-drop interface, planners can reprioritise orders instantly and intervene when disruptions occur.
Underlying technology: SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP) on top of SAP BTP. This enables parallel processing of huge volumes of API calls (high throughput) and running complex algorithms without putting load on the SAP Cloud ERP core.
Result: 100% real-time visibility, proactive issue resolution before the lorry leaves, and a stable, clean ERP core despite heavy peak loads.

Pro-code development with SAP Cloud Application Programming Model

For complex business processes and enterprise-grade applications, Aiden delivers high-quality custom development via the SAP Cloud Application Programming Model. Using open standards such as Java and Node.js, we build powerful cloud-native applications on the SAP Business Technology Platform. These run completely separate from your SAP core (known as side-by-side extensibility), which gives you functional freedom as well as a system that is stable, ‘clean’, and easy to upgrade.

Why SAP Cloud Application Programming with Aiden?

Complex challenges require deep expertise. Aiden combines years of SAP back-end expertise with modern cloud-native development skills (Java/Node.js). We do not just understand how to develop an app, but, above all, how it can securely interact with your SAP data while maintaining high performance. We help you transition from traditional ABAP customisation in the core to flexible extensions on the SAP Business Technology Platform, fully aligned with the clean core principle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about our App Development services? Here are the most common questions and their answers.

Don’t see your question?

With low-code, a first working version can often go live within a few months. After that, the application is further developed iteratively based on feedback and new requirements.

Yes. With low-code, simple changes, content, and workflows can often be adjusted without in-depth technical knowledge, provided governance is set up properly. Aiden helps set up a Center of Excellence, so you can innovate independently and in a controlled way.

Yes. Security and governance are standard parts of both Mendix and SAP Build. Applications are suitable for growth, international roll-out, and enterprise use.

Low-code is ideal for speed, visual interfaces, and apps where the business and IT work closely together. Pro-code is the best choice for back-end-heavy applications, complex algorithms, or situations where maximum control over performance and architecture is required, without compromising on clean core principles.
