Which industries benefit most from Rocket Mobile?

Rocket Mobile is designed to support a wide range of industries reliant on efficient mobile workflows—such as manufacturing, logistics, pharmaceuticals, retail, and more. It optimises processes like warehouse management, inventory handling, production, and quality control across diverse sectors.

What ROI can I expect from implementing Rocket Mobile?

Rocket Mobile has a proven track record of delivering substantial ROI for its users. Typical benefits include 30% to as much as 80% gains in workforce productivity (for example, 5-fold increase in inspection process efficiency), and dramatic reductions in training times—all contributing to rapid, measurable business value and reduced operating costs.

What are the minimum device specifications to run Rocket Mobile?

Minimum Requirements:
• Android 8 or newer, iOS 7 or newer, Windows XP (or newer), Windows 10, or macOS 10.14 or newer
• Minimum screen resolution: 600 x 600 pixels

Recommended Specifications:
• A device camera to enable advanced Rocket Mobile features
• Touchscreen for the best user experience
• An industrial browser optimised for your device

Which Browsers does Rocket Mobile run on?

Browsers must support HTML5. Most modern industrial/rugged mobile devices are running Android O/S (this is also our recommendation). These are generally shipped with HTML5-compatible browsers. 

We strongly recommend the use of industrial browsers suited to the mobile device. 

Is there anything specific to be loaded onto the client device?

Generally, no additional software is required for Rocket Mobile (or SAP ITS Mobile). However, we strongly recommend the following for any mobile deployment to ensure robust performance:

Use of industrial browsers suited to the mobile device. These would be loaded onto the device during device provisioning.

Device set-up is critical for robust operations, and we recommend our best practices for SAP EWM mobile technology for this.

In specific scenarios, additional software and content may be required on the devices:
- Voice - local voice engine and library
- Performance scenarios where local content such as a logo may be used
- Mobile Device Management software
- Security – where a mobile VPN is required.

Does the solution offer any substantial performance gains over standard SAP ITS?

Good mobile performance is dependent on correctly deployed SAP infrastructure (platform, application, database, network, RF network, processes & devices). Rocket Mobile provides numerous end-user performance gains through improved usability as well as technical performance gains such as image handling and data access.

What are the migration steps from SAP ITS Mobile and customer transactions to Rocket Mobile?

Rocket Mobile interface works with standard and customer-specific transactions previously built in SAP ITS Mobile. Installation into your SAP system follows SAP best practices, with Rocket Mobile transported into a dedicated SAP namespace, ensuring standard SAP is never impacted. Our fixed price deployments include the migration steps for standard transactions and can also include any customer-specific transactions, all with zero changes to standard SAP code or existing customer transaction code.

What tech skills are required for development with Rocket Mobile?

No proprietary skills are required, meaning your existing SAP ABAP developers can develop mobile transactions in the same way as SAP ITS Mobile transactions. However, with Rocket Mobile they can quickly add a wide range of Rocket Mobile capabilities with little or no code, dramatically cutting development time and costs.

What devices does Rocket Mobile work on?

Rocket Mobile works on rugged mobile devices or consumer smart devices running Android or iOS, as well as Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices, such as tablets or workstations, or vehicle-mounted devices.

The Rocket Mobile framework is designed to work with and optimise a wide range of device form factors, ranging from industrial handhelds, wrist mountable, vehicle mount devices, tablets as well as workstations scenarios with touch screens.

Does Rocket Mobile use SAP Fiori?

No. Rocket Mobile adopts a more tailored UI5 approach using more general industry best practices rather than Fiori. This allows a more tailored User Experience framework for operational and supply chain environments that creates efficiencies and performance not possible with Fiori. In addition, this approach provides both backward compatibility for customers where Fiori has not been adopted, and forward compatibility allowing for Fiori transactions to operate within Rocket Mobile where a compelling case exists.

Does Rocket Mobile on SAP EWM require any modifications to the standard SAP?

Rocket Mobile on EWM does not require the modification of the SAP standard. For the implementation of Rocket Mobile on SAP standard RF transactions in EWM, the SAP best practice is to create a custom display profile and enhance/change only a couple of template screens (these are custom as part of best practice implementation anyway). No changes are made to the SAP sub-screens.  Any changes to SAP business programming logic after SAP upgrade/support packs, etc will be used within the Rocket Mobile screens.

What impact does Rocket Mobile have on Wi-Fi data traffic?

For typical transactions, such as putaway, picking, packing and yard movements, the data usage is very low and comparable to native SAP ITS mobile. For example, a typical picking transaction would use < 140 kbytes.

For advanced features that are not available in ITS Mobile, for example, the use of photos or document capture and PDF creation, the data packets will be larger.

What are the costs of Rocket Mobile?

Rocket Mobile is offered on an annual, user-based subscription model that includes comprehensive software support and maintenance.

Does Rocket Mobile on SAP EWM require modifications to standard SAP?

No modifications to standard SAP are required. Implementations on SAP EWM follow best practices by creating a custom display profile and making minimal adjustments to a few template screens (which are standard in a best-practice setup), leaving SAP sub-screens intact. Any changes in SAP’s business logic due to upgrades are automatically incorporated into Rocket Mobile screens.
